Thursday

 

                Such a surprise to see the soft pastel color around the yellow flowers in the center.  

What a start to the morning.  I woke up a little after 8 !!!!!  That felt good even though I missed half the morning.  Well, maybe not quite.  So I piddled around once again deadheading and making a few contributions to B B. One of these days you won't hear anything about B B. You will need to wait just a bit longer.  

I felt like this little butterfly was putting on a show for me just asking to be photographed.

I did my PT stuff which took about 45 minutes.  I have some homework and believe it will be well worth it.  More clipping with more decisions of what was ready to get pitched was snuck in after 
lunch.  
Another surprise when this Monarch almost flew into me.  I guess I was in his flight path.  

Early afternoon I got a phone call from one of my favorite friends, Maddy.  We found each other at church when Maddy was about 3 years old.  The game was about who could sneak up on the other first without being seen.  This went on for years with hugs around the knees and then higher as Maddy grew.  She is married now living in Denver, Colorado but back home for a wedding.  The question was, could you hem my dress?  Of course.  We had a wonderful visit.  The dress is hanging here hemmed and pressed and tomorrow Maddy wants to "hang out with me". 

                                            Here's the Burgandy-colored simple dress.  
                            What a treat to reconnect bringing back so many wonderful memories.                                                                      The sign, a gift from Kat a few Christmases ago.

                            The last Okra flower is ready to open.  The yellow color is so delicate.  

All of the pictures were taken after supper with the hope you can see what a late September day in Indiana looks like.  Think of low humidity with high temperatures in the 70s..  I'd like to think of a little rain. The Monarch Caterpillar is on the move, I think there will be a chrysalis very soon.  There's another PT session on the horizon.

Last but not least.  


Finished eating and now connected to the top of the butterfly cage getting ready to change eventually into a Monarch butterfly.  There will be a long flight to Mexico for the winter.

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

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
