Friday.

 What happened today?  


I took Eric to Nora to catch the bus to work. Wordle happened in three.  Crossword was a little easier today.  Easier than yesterday.  So the morning got it's start as it usually does.  Routine! 

I spent the morning deadheading.  One thing that really hurts but I know it's for the best is snipping off that first bud of the zinnia plant.  I always look forward to seeing what color each plant is.  Snipping just makes me wait longer.  But...snipping also makes the plant bushier with more flowers.  So this year I snipped more zinnias.  Some are still small for the trim job but it won't be long before it happens.  

                                                        A big drift of Becky Daisy's.


I checked the Cosmo bed and I think I saw something happening.  Another day will tell the tale.  I fluffed all the beds and moved three zinnias to another space that needed help. Last evening's rain was wonderful and it is 9:50 pm now with thunder rumbling.  Woo.  How fortunate.  

Today, there was nothing but blue sky.  I really enjoyed that will patio sitting and watching another swallowtail emerge.  


The afternoon was pretty quiet.  It seems that a long morning of work leaves less energy for the afternoon.  But I'll take a good half day for sure.  

                                Another great reminder of our vacations along Lake Superior.                                                              A small polished by tumbling in Superior.  Once in a while, you get lucky. 

Friday's supper was another wonderful Needlers Chicken Pot Pie made by Kat.  They are so good and one pie is big enough to take care of two plates.  We finished supper with another round of 3/13. 

I pulled more Love in Mist plants while deadheading. .  The seed pods need to dry so hanging them in the garage helps that to happen.  One of the beds will be filled with them next year.  The seeds planted this spring will support many flowers.  


 I had a wonderful visit with my neighbor's daughter Shannon who is visiting for a week no, but now living in Mexico.  Shannon and her sister Cory grew up with our two boys.  We've known these girls for nearly 50 years.

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
