Monday

 This morning was a morning when the body just didn't do what I wanted to do.  Well, that was after I did some looking around the garden.  So I just didn't do.  I think the deal was still a lot of emotions flowing in a body that was totally exhausted.  

                                  This morning I took a rest on the picnic table.  This was my view. 

I tried to push this thing I'm living in with the job of looking for flower volunteers and moving them to a better spot.  I found about 6.  It's like playing Where's Waldo with plants.  I love it. That game worked for a little bit but not for long. 

I've often wondered where Carolina Wrens nested.  Now I know.  That bird with an attitude moved into a house that had a leftover nest from last year.  With mealworms near life is good.  

So what happened next?  Mr. Doug took me to see Kathy O.  Well, more importantly her garden.  She understands me perfectly.  It's such a gift to have a friend like Kathy who is also my Daliah Queen.  I snagged another one at the plant swap she donated along with friend Laural's contribution.  There are six in the garden complements of these two great choir friend ladies. 

Then it was back home and the afternoon was easy to write about.  I did nothing but sleep. 

These little zinnias are beginning to show their better side.  I saved the seed from last year's flowers.  I found a volunteer tonight that was moved to a dead hole.  Don't need any dead holes around here. . 


Supper was lettuce from the garden.  There was one more plant to take care of from yesterday.  Our tomato count is now four with the last to plant swap plant being a Roma.  It's hard to live without Romas and this one will take great care of us.  A place was found after doing a little shifting plants around.  All of the spaces are fuller than they ever have been. 

                                Mr. Roma is sitting in a hole filled with compost.  He should do well. 

No more work for today.  I think another easy day tomorrow will be what the doctor orders.  The calendar is empty.  Lots of good memories continue to spin around me.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
