Saturday.

 Not a whole lot on the dance card today.  Did a garden walk as usual.  Solved an easy crossword and finished wordle in six.  That was the last try before grade zero. 

While in the garden I found another Monarch caterpillar so the cage needed to go back to supporting milkweed.  I looked several times for more caterpillars but so far the number is only one.  I'll keep looking since the Monarch butterfly was dipping and diving around the milkweed this morning.  

                                                                    Marcia, Jacob, and Dennis

                                We have camped with the Owens family for at least 30 years.                                                      That includes their two daughters a bit younger than Eric and Jared and now some years                                          adding their grandchildren as well as ours in the camping experience.                                           This August we will do it all over again with our grandson but not their grandchildren.                                                             Raylynn and Domonic will be missed.   

Dennis and Marcia called while on the way to Jacob's graduation party. They live in Novi just outside of Detroit.  We had a great visit which would have been better in person.  It's sort of Boo Hoo time wishing we could be with everyone.  I just didn't think it was a great idea so close to surgery even though I got a go-ahead from the surgeon even before the surgery date.  This surgery was a bit more difficult with the anesthesia. I will do an I-U report soon sharing the experience!  Jared and Kimmy have sent pictures of the party which helps a lot.  And we faced time talking with more family members. 

            A few of Jacobs's music awards received at his high school awards ceremony.  Onward...Go Spartans. 

                                        A green and white event with lots of food and friends.  

So it was another day of taking it easy still looking for improvement in the surgery site. Like many things, time is the answer.  I'll get there eventually.  Guaranteed. 

                        Snapdragons.  The workhorse of the garden.  There will be more colors soon.

    Thanks for the pictures of Jacob's party. I hope his parents get more on their blog.

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
