Thursday

 

The four o'clock are getting their act together.  But I would not recommend that you tell time with them.  They are a little off.  No! A whole lot off with their time.

Today was a little different.  But it started out as usual with a walk through the garden to see what I could see.  It was time to clean out another day lily which happened. More are ready to regrow some leaves for the rest of the warmer season.  I checked on the Holly Hocks in two places.  The leaves seemed to grow rust.  Not uncommon for H H. They got a haircut with the hope that some new leaves will grow before cold weather.  It never hurts to give it a try. 

So many different colors.  Even more than you can see.  Most of these will be cut and taken to Michigan.  Just a bit of home lasting a little longer. 


I moved the last of the potted plants to one area that were scattered around.  Now a phone call to Eric sharing watering details while we're gone.  Three of the pots love hot and dry treatment but three really need water.  

            And then there was another place in the garden that has only one color with one exception.                                                                                              But it is intense. 

Today was our monthly meal with my first-grade teacher buddies.  Bru Burger did it again with delicious salads.  Lots of good conversation happened.  We have an August date to meet again.  

        An old jug from my home has found it's way into the garden.  A daily reminder of life in Ohio.

There was a little TV time and then a little sleeping and then I took the clippers and wheel barrel to another bed and clipped the last of the day lilies.  Done, Done and Done. And in the process I guess I bothered a hornet.  That hurt but really not for long.  I suspected a nest, but I never did find anything and the total number of hornets I saw were only two.  Happy to say the day lily clean-up is finished.  


This little hummingbird stopped by to visit.  Because they are always moving make them difficult to photograph.  He was at the hosta flowers.  


Patty called in the morning and said that supper was on the way and not to bother.  And it arrived with pulled pork, mashed potatoes, and banana nut cupcakes.  I added cauliflower.  And there is enough for another meal.  Life is sweet and delicious.  So did I cook anything today?  NO!  Will I cook tomorrow?  NO.  

                                    More flowers ready to decorate the van on the trip north.

It was a great day for many reasons one being with friends that take care of me.  There are so many.  Tomorrow I'll start doing some final thinking about the U P and what I remember, I'll remember and what I forget, I'll forget.  Both will be just fine.  

These are Four O'clocks.  Their timing was off. Nine A M here but four O'clock somewhere else for sure. 


The Fever lost last night but Caitlin Clark broke another record.  Life is good.

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

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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
