Monday.

 

                            Another memory.  When I can I fill my mind with things to come.  

The day started with breakfast of course and then an Eric commute which led to the drugstore after dropping him at the bus stop.  Something for this allergic reaction to something.  And it worked.  It was a relatively sneeze-free day until this evening.  More about to come. 

                                                            A butterfly bush flower.  

I did some burps with the fabric that was giving me fits but not after it was washed.  I read about gassing off fabric online.  It seems that airing in hot wind and then washing is considered a probable solution.  We can wash but there is not a whole lot of hot air blowing around.  I'm tempted to bring in a large fan from the garage. 


I thinned out and transplanted most of the daylily patches last summer..  We'll see if more flowers appear.  They certainly were a bit sparse with crowding last summer.  These pictures are from three years ago.

The afternoon Dr. appointment went well but the well includes another 30 days of medication.  There is still a fungus among us!  But while I was out I decided to do a little fabric shopping.  Yes.  All the fabric for cover-ups is now a cover-up.  So back to the Nora Goodwill with the decision made that I would pay no more than 3.99 per piece.  Well, that was not a problem and I came home with 5 more pieces.  And I left some hanging in the store.  Three pieces went to the washing machine.  Those seemed to be new.  Two have been around for a while and washed many times.  But when sneezing started with those two, off to the washing machine for their dunking.   Could it be the perfume in the soap used?  Maybe so.  

                                    The milkweed crop continues to grow larger every year.                                                                                Let's hope for a great summer of Monarchs in 2024.                                                                                      I see swamp and common milkweed in this picture. 

To put a bow on the afternoon doctor and shopping fabric experiences, I went grocery shopping.  Yes, I had eggs, bread, and milk at home ready for the ice storm they say is coming but we needed some fillers.  I think we have enough food to ignore the grocery for a while.  Doug's new favorite is Chex mix with pretzles etc.  I'll be filling two ice cream buckets with his new favorite tomorrow. I think I'll hide one of the buckets.  It's addictive.  He's always around when the groceries come home and he figured out Chex mix as soon as he saw the boxes.  

The Lenten Rose, is soon to appear during Lent.  Humm...we'll see what happens when Lent starts on February 14.  I wonder if the plants got that message.  

Supper and an evening waiting for the fabric to head up to the sewing room.  I'll be taking some hems apart to make a little more usable fabric.  There's a place for that tiny extra just about always.  



There will be much to choose from tomorrow when the sewing continues.

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...

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 s...

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....
