Thursday

 I started the morning after breakfast with my little rake cleaning out some stuff.  And my neighbors from the other end of the addition were walking and stopped to talk.  They both are gardeners and moved here last fall.  We talked and looked for more than an hour about everything until it was time to leave for the doctors at 10:45. There were tons of words that included everything one needs to know about chipmunks. Doug took one of those and a baby squirrel to the park before we left for the doctors. 

                                Another first for the spring of 2024.  Perennial Sweet Peas.  

And there was a lot of doctor talk as well.  That visit included a left hip Xray hoping to figure out why it has been hurting for so long.  It's probably abuse but we'll know soon.  It could mean more selective PT with I U people who don't joke around strengthening the muscles around the hip bone.  


After the I U North visit we went to church to pick up plastic bags to prepare for Saturday's Bread and Bowl carry out lunches.  It's so good to get that done ahead of time.  One less thing to do on Saturday. 60 bags are ready to be packed with food.  

The first Stella Dora day lily. There are many more to come.  Early spring and lots of water will do that.

I took a short walk to the neighbors to check out their little SCAMP trailer for camping.  It's cute and perfect for the three of them.  Doug's uncle had a scamp for years.  Then there was a long talk with Barb and Judy as they stopped in the middle of the street in their car.  We talked until the next car needed to pass by which was a long time coming.  

Valerian.  The roots are used in medication for sleeping.  I think I'll let someone else experiment with it.                                                  The flowers have a powerful wonderful smell. 

Then home for another salad supper on the patio and another very long rest watching the birds after eating.  So another good day with a little flower watering and one last hole waiting for the last three zinnias.  These three will need to learn to live together.  I'm all holed out.

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

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
