Monday

 The morning started with breakfast and then Hoke drove me to church for a morning with the crew.  July is here demanding a change in scenery for the sanctuary, narthex and west entrance.  And the five of us got it finished by 11.  



We'll let it all be until September when we'll bring out the green season just everywhere.  It's green now but in limited ways.  The crew knew what needed to be changed so they sort of guided themselves.  That's a good thing.  There were ribbons to roll for use next year. Fabric to roll until next year and then new things to hang.  

                       A Doris Douglas pulpit hanging we don't see often.  We have so many choices. 

Heidi and James brought me home with the intent to see the garden with flowers blooming.  We had a great visit. I sent them home with a cucumber, pepper and tomato.  James grew up on a farm and he still enjoys the outdoors.  Both James a doctor and Heidi a physicians assistant took care of me at church when I had my seizure.  We work together on our community meal making two Saturdays a month. It pays to have friends like the Hortons!!!!

                            Our back yard maple tree is taking a beating.  The Piliated found it.                                                                              Some things you win, some you loose  

The afternoon was a sleepy afternoon.  A morning like today just takes so much energy so sleep was welcomed.  The garden got a little attention where needed.  It didn't need much.  Thanks for little needs.  The newest little zinnias got some good stuff to drink.  They need to stretch their legs. 

                                        Some of Doug's woodpiles.  He plans to burn tomorrow. 


Another fresh salad with cucumbers and peppers added. The tomato is for tomorrows meal.  I'm thinking bacon and mayonnaise.  

A sweet little perennial geranium on it's second time around bloom.  There are just a few but so pretty.

After supper we did another drugstore run.  My supply of anti itch stuff was gone so more was needed for those nom seeums.  They are terrible this year. I am full of bumps and itch.  If I could just stay inside it might be one of the solutions but of course I can't.

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

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

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
