Saturday

 It was a rough early morning start at 4 a.m.  Way too early.  Sounds like the name of a program on MSNBC. That show starts at 5 every weekday morning. I've been yawning all day and fell asleep around 4 p.m. after a PT floor session.  The day was a drag.  

I was out the door for Bread and Bowl at 8:30.  I should have been a little earlier.  There was trouble with the Monumental Marathon as I got closer to church.  Lots and lots of people trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon.  But I found my way through.  Workers coming later had more trouble.  Church seems to be in the middle of the runners every year.  

Another big flannel sale. My ability to say no needs to be strengthened. 



There are no altar flowers for tomorrow so I cut some grasses and hosta leaves and arranged that at the altar and then it was time for the Community Room Bread and Bowl preparation..  We were busy and had no time to spare before opening at 11 a.m.  But we were ready!  Lots of folks joined us and there was plenty of food for the noon meal having ordered the sixth pan of food from Second Helpings.  

    The bird's feeders needed refilling.  That was all but the suet.  Mr. Downy was well taken care of. 

I was back home by 12:45 happy to have time to sit a spell.  I did a bit of sewing during those early morning hours and good grief...I ran out of thread.  Mid afternoon I visited JoAnn again and bought more thread and a couple pieces of flannel.  I made it to Glendale's Goodwill and found another flannel sheet.  Lucky for me.  There will be more Burps for sure.  

               Another bargain for 3.99. A whole lot of babies will be taken care of with this big sheet.                                                 My Michigan family will be shopping their Goodwills soon. 


There was a long nap making up for that early morning hour.  The walk in the garden produced a few pictures but the number is limited.  I'll blame it on October.  

Two little nigellas are blooming while growing under the picnic table.  Such delicate flowers.  

There are no big plans for the evening and the hope is that tonight sleep during the dark time is a bit longer than last night.

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

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

 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
