Tuesday.

 I thought I had missed a day somewhere.  The mowers come on Wed.  This week they came on Tuesday.  I think they want a long weekend!  Last week I thought I had gained a day.  Do I need another pill to keep things straight.? I think not.  Who is keeping track of life.  Certainly not me and that's easier!

                                                       Beautiful and very old clematis.

Someone somewhere has been praying for me.  I've had the best sleep these last two nights. So who ever...just keep on.  

I walked the garden this morning thinking that the zinnias had grown big enough for transplanting.  So that's what I did during the morning hours.  There is one more container to go and right now the vacancies are few and far between.  When this last little group of 8 go in the ground there will be over 100 zinnia plants on the way to a whole lot of landing places for butterflies.  At least that's the hope when big enough to bloom. 

                    Another new flower blooming.  Love in a mist.  Nigella.  It sews itself every year. 

I discovered more Waldo's waiting to be found.  At some point very soon there will be no vacancies.  I did some cleaning out and fluffing up.  I've planted a whole lot of saved seed for Mexican Sunflowers.  And the growing rate has not been good at all.  I think I have 4 live ones. I dumped the rest of my saved seed in the ground this morning.  It will be interesting to see what will come of that experiment.  Four will do but more would be better.

         This little guy was between a rock and a Susan.  I found him tonight.  Tomorrow he moves. 

The hotel rooms have been empty today.  Yesterday, room service was busy with two guests making the trip to the woodland playground early in the morning.  Today. nothing so far and it's almost time for supper.  


Supper was another salad.  Something easy is high on the list and salad fits right in.  Radishes are starting to show a little color.  A good snipping of the lettuce including a big bath with a salad spinner treatment happening this evening makes suppers easy.  

                                        Early Girl is showing her stuff.  It won't be long now. 

Today I followed directions given to me at the ER. I have a follow-up appointment after my last Friday tachycardia spell for this coming Thursday with my Primary Doctor. Taking care of me is a full-time job.  Retirement is on hold for a while again.  There is always something that keeps me busy.  I'd rather it be only gardening but there are times when one doesn't get to choose.  So bring Thursday on!  

            The red beets are showing up.  They have a long way to go. Harvard Beets...Yum, Yum

OOPS! After I wrote the blog, we had a visitor, and I got a ride to the park.  I talked to neighbor K telling her about the Sunday event.  Today was a better day with a little more energy but just a little more.  I'll take it. I need to remember the little engine that could.  Chug, Chug. Sometimes the trip over the mountain just takes a little more time.

 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.                ...
