Friday

 Back home again in Indiana.  It all happened today.  We saw the kids off to school.  Talked a bit and by 9 we were headed south stopping for gas soon after we left and then it was again one of those none stop trips until the car entered the garage.  We can always figure the trip to be three two hour hops along.  Starting at Indy to Fort Wayne with the next hop to Lancing and then the last on to Hope Michigan.  We just did it backward today.  The trip is relatively easy in my book of trips.  

The wegilia buch is loaded with flowers.  The older it gets the better it looks.  I'll add that Doug looks after this bush every year trimming and snipping to keep it's best side front and center.  

Upon arriving home one of the first things to do even before the car is unpacked is to wee what is happening in the garden.  Consenses said that it was a dry three days that happened.  So...car unpacked allowed the watering cans with water making a difference even with rain predicted.  It's easy to think...rain predicted...It will miss us.  So I watered going back over a few things that were just emerging from seed.  Those are delicate little gifts.  

                                            The morning sun.

We had a huge salad supper since lunch was not on the cards.  And by 7:30 i was hearing rain on the roof.  Not a bad sound at all.  So the earth has once again been watered finishing off the day with another great gift.

                           Last night's rain makes a healthy garden. Becky Daisys are looking great.

The time with the Michigan family has been a wonderful experience witnessing some of those important markers in the life of the grandsons.  Leaving hurts but we'll meet again this summer in August at Copper Harbor.  

                                        A whole garden of milkweed waiting for the Monarchs.

Tomorrow begins with a trip to church finishing some visual plans for Sunday.

    Sounds like a great visit! Did Jacob go to school, too, or is he completely and finally and ultimately finished with high school?

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having
