Thursday

 Great morning with a little extra sleep.  Awake by seven.  That's late for me.  Wordle and Crossword went well although into the crossword for a few minutes gave me a headache thinking I won't get this one.  Well, persistence paid off and success came again. Breakfast under the umbrella on the patio.  A sweet place to see a whole lot of yard happenings.  

                            Doing better this year.  Last year the bugs got them.  It wasn't pretty.                                                  I'm watching them closer this year.  They deserved a better life.  I'm trying harder.

Later in the morning, I delivered the red beets to my sister Mary K. A whole lot of talk happened.   It's wonderful to have a sister so close. 

I tore out some old parsley.  It has a two-year cycle and germinates at a snail's pace. I've got to keep it going.  The second year it bolts going to seed.  There is more first year in the garden.  I love to sew some seeds next to the back door near the kitchen.

   It's just a little patch but just beside this space is another one where I planted parsley three weeks ago.                          It is just emerging now.  One needs to be patient with parsley and plan ahead.  


I gave one sprinkling can with water-dissolved fertilizer to one of the needy beds. There was a possibility of rain later in the day and we were not disappointed. This one did not evaporate a mile west of us.  There is nothing better than the real thing. We had an inside supper.  

                            This sunflower belongs to my neighbor Kathy.  Mine were eaten by the dere.                                      Kathy's are inside a fence but now growing over the top.and rain uld push out the smoke                                 but it is still with us.  


 The brightness of the sky pulled me into the yard to take this picture at 9:30 tonight.  The rain is over and cloud definitions are apparent.  But the smell of the fire still is with us. The earth is washed again. 

                                        The skies light reflected on the wet bark of the maple tree. 
                There are times when a low light reflection exposes gestures.  Got to love this picture.

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
