Monday

 Grr.  The night ended at 2:30.  I was ready to go back to sleep at 6:30 but Eric's trip to Nora took care of that.  And sleep probably would not have happened anyway.  It was mine to live with which brought a morning nap and an early afternoon one.  

                                                            So beautiful in the garden.  

The day was interesting in many ways.  The stack of Xmas decorations went back on the shelf till next Nov.  The stack of pans used to make the Amnesty Candle went back on the shelf waiting for the next wax job.  Charlotte got her gourd bird house for her Blue Birds.  It got a good spray providing a longer life. As a result of Sunday's sermon, the refrigerator got a great clean out that involved emptying 9 containers of something.  The refrigerator looks so much better. The first seed catalogue arrived. 

                                                      Lantana.  I call this a work horse in the garden.                                                              It requires very little attention and takes the heat like a southern trooper.  

Doug's shredder that cuts up stuff wore out .  So off to the store for a new one.  

The garden's horseradish was beginning to show up so some was dug and ground up in the blender with vinegar.  Yum, yum. What do I eat it with?  Everything.  In salad dressing...potatoes,  meat, sandwiches and more.. but I'll skip the ice cream.  

                                                            Another pretty arrangement. 

I sewed 4 more little bags and scratched through more fabric for more possibilities.  I did a little TV watching in the evening. 

Supper was at McAlister's with the North Church gang.  It was a good meeting with people sharing what their day was like.  I shared Horseradish.  

And the first jonquils along with pussy willows now are found on the kitchen table.  A burst of spring. 

TV in the evening.

    Yes, when you look in a container and all you can say is that it is something, without knowing exactly what it is - then it is definietly time to throw it away! !

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 The morning started off with breakfast and then a trip with Eric to Nora where he catches the bus to Indy.  I always love these trips in the winter often accompanied with a beautiful winter sun rise.  The morning light was coming through but it will be even better in another month.  I have taken some beautiful pictures in the early morning.   Home again and I did some sewing and some knitting.  The usual stuff that seems to be the winter work.  Ten more burps and I finished another scarf, one that could have been finished yesterday.  I was thinking no rush which is really true.  There is no rush. All the ripped fabric has been sewn so it would seem new ripping will happen soon. This noon was our first North Side North Church noon lunch instead of supper.  No driving in the dark for three months.  There were eleven of us, a smaller group but we all sat around one long table which was really nice.  And there was so much tal...

 Another Monday.  There have been many.  I think I've had 1524 of them.  Math wasn't my best subject, but I think that number is close to being correct. I am more than grateful.  In another 13 days soon to be 87 with 52 Mondays in a year.  Should I have added the 0 year?  Yikes. There are many Mondays.  Go figure yours.   There was breakfast and the garden walk and sure enough, sleep gave the embarrassed zinnias a gift.  They look great although a day in the sun will have some affect.  Tomorrow they should really feel good.   I did a bit of clipping this morning and found that yesterday and today's deer food resulted in 63 naked stems with not a day lily bloom left to show themselves to the world.  Grr for sure.                              The leftovers from the midnight meal of daylilies. Who turned on the lights?  ...
