Wednesday.

 Big day today.  The paper was a bit late so time with crossword isn't finished yet.  Almost but not quite.  Wordle was good.  And the day began with sitting by the butterfly cage, waiting, and waiting.  Number four emerged late morning while we were gone  Woo, woo.  

Our good friend Kathleen is house-sitting in Golden Hill in a fabulous house with what I say is an unbelievable garden.  Well, gardens of many kinds with a beautiful terrain of valleys and trees and a cute little creek. and more.  Kathleen invited us to take a tour and it certainly was a beautiful morning to do that.  Doug grew up just outside Golden Hill and spent many hours playing with friends in that neighborhood.  So I have pictures of the morning.  





The morning was perfect for taking pictures and spending time with a friend.  

                            So many big trees in the dark ravines leading to the Indianapolis Canel. 

We drove past the stone double that was the Russell homestead of CW Russell as well as the Miller grandparents on 36th Street.  Thank you Kathleen for a wonderful morning with new things to think about. It was good. 

The afternoon included a trip to Aldi's for some necessary things...mainly ice cream although other things ended up in the cart.  We're set for another week.  I'm planning on an almost midnight ice cream snack.  Nothing after 12 pm you know. Supper salad included strawberries, nuts, and that delicious barbecue chicken with cucumbers from the garden.  So good.  

I made a great stab at watering plants after supper.  I'll do some more watering in the morning.  The plants look healthy and can survive for a few days without much attention.  I'll have the 10 lb. carrying restriction again and because the plants are growing, they should be in great shape to hang out on their own for a few days or more..  I had the company of a Monarch while watering.  I'd bet a couple of bucks it's my Number 4 morning friend.  Two more chrysalides are turning dark. Tomorrow should bring two more Monarchs.

                                        This is a time of new beginnings.  Time to move on.  

                    Here's today's little buddy.  He's sort of scrunched down in the butterfly weed.  

The call time for surgery is 12:30 as I stated yesterday.  I'll be busy till then.  The refrigerator needs a cleaning out again!  And a little more watering needs to happen. The sweeper will do a run.  I know the after-surgery routine will be like the last surgery so I'm getting ready for some time off.  It's time to sit a spell. I'm ready to think of something else other than me!

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
