Tuesday.

 Today started slow and steady.  The new zinnia plant this past weekend saw that everyone was in attendance.  I was bugged about two of the plants being in the wrong place and needing a switch to correct the problem.  Early in the season two zinnia plants emerged and I thought I had planted State Fairs.  They are in the tall family.  The more I looked at them growing told me that they were not what I thought they were.  The leaf shape mimicked the tiny little path lined zinnia.  From tall to small so today was the day to make a couple of trades in planting spots. 

The zinnia had no trouble with the move.  Tought little plant again showing it's stuff. 

The Calendula or sometimes called Pot Marigold plant had a lot of trouble with the move but with another drink tonight and a good sleep, there will be improvement, I am sure.  I think that's the end of any changes in this flower bed.  Now bring on the butterflies.  They are AWOL at this point.

The afternoon brought another change.  A couple of years ago I bought two hybiscus plants at Lowes.  Not knowing how big they would get Big Red was planted in the wrong place.  By the end of summer the sprowl took him over the stepping stone walkway.  So it was either move the plant or the walkway.  Today, the fix came.  The walkway got a little move to the side.  2024 will see if I got it right. 

Good old Gorgia pine needles surround the stone now where Creeping Jenny once was.  She'll be back eventually.  I learned today that staying hydrated makes work a little easier.  Something not to forget. 

I'm still finding volunteer plants emerging.  Today I found a Bear's Breeches, False Indigo, and another cleome.  There's a new Smoke Tree growing along with a few more things. 


I took most of the afternoon off after the pine needles were laid drinking water and sleeping again.  Last night was a short night.  Bummer, bummer.  But I am happy to have time for the make up!  

                                                                No bacon tonight.


And once again, a salad for supper on the patio.  And the two movies got a special drink.  It's evening TV time.  I'm ready for the chair.

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
