Monday

 Morning crossword but Wordle is yet to even be thought of.  I'll get to it.  I did some fluffing.  If you wonder why the answer I believe is fewer weeds taking over and over the years I think it makes a huge difference in eradicating weeds permanently.  I did a little watering but not much.  And everything stayed where they were put with one exception.  Some of the peppers have an identification tag and some little creature thought it should be moved.  Moving tags is fine.  Tags can go anywhere.  Plants need to stay anchored. 

My last trip around the garden shows that the plants love the water.  They are looking better.

The bluebird watch continues but the Mrs. is out doing the Mister when it comes to nest stuffing with pine needles. He does stand guard which is filling a necessary job.  He's quite good at that They have figured out the new way of entering the box Since I'm not feeding black sunflower seeds currently most of the sparrows have left.  I put mealworms out for the bluebirds and the sparrows are ignoring them most of the time.  This is probably the second family nesting.  

        Great progress today.  I think we'll see some pretty blue eggs real soon.  Maybe even tomorrow.

All the transplants from the plant swap seem to be doing just fine.  

                            So pretty.  The evening sun was shining through the sensitive fern leaves

The afternoon was slow and easy.  I had a preregistration call from I U North answering about 50 or more questions.  Tomorrow I have three appointments at the hospital, 10 12 and 2 at different departments getting ready for surgery on the 30th.  I'm a bit tired of cancer thinking.  I'd like to be at least a year away from the 30th right now.  That won't happen for a while.  Just wishing.  

Neighbor Bill brought me rhubarb last night.  I had promised a pie so I made one this afternoon.  It wasn't my best attempt but there is enough rhubarb for another pie.  I probably was to tired to be thinking receipe.  

I did a little watering tonight on all the little plants from the garden shop.  The roots just aren't well developed so they need all the help I can give them.  80 degrees in the sun is a little hard on them. I think about 60 plants fit in that category. That's a lot of water. Soon their roots will grow deep to find their own moisture. 

And now the CHAIR and TV.  I'm tired tonight. Remember me tomorrow with the goal that I pass all the tests.

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
