Monday

                                                                 A gift from the neighbor.                                                          

It's been a wonderful day.  So far, the body I live in has made a great adjustment to the poisoning of Norbert. PRAY that it continues.  The energy bucket has maintained the ability to give what is needed.  Thanks be to God.  I've asked a lot of God today.  

I had a great sleep last night although the go to bedtime was a bit late.  Breakfast was oatmeal with blue berries and bananas. If I could just remember not fill the bowl.  My eyes are bigger than my stomach at EVERY meal.  I spent some time at the sewing machine with burps again. The number for Goodwill is up to 60.  The next hundred makes a total of 1300.   I'm limiting myself to 10 for the day.  The machine is happier if that happens.  


                                    Stella carried the flowers home under her seat.  What a helper. 

I did a walk around the block with Stella, happy to walk with an old neighbor walking her dog.  She lives now in a close by addition.  A house just down the street is getting a major addition, and it happens to be the one she lived in years ago.  And because the owner was there tending her flower business, we got a great peek at all the changes that are happening.  And there are many.  What fun.  And we brought flower arrangements home with us.  How sweet. 



I usually have Jello and cottage cheese for lunch but I forgot to make the Jello.  So I decided to have scrambled eggs with mushrooms.  The eggs are from the Michigan free range buddies.  This time I tried a DUCK scrambled egg.  


                                                                 Strange looking yolks. 

Yup.  I have half doz. DUCK eggs.  They are fine if one can convince the brain. I would rather have a pullet size egg.  I would say there was way to much egg for a meal.



The afternoon was all about the shovel and the rake.  The temperature was perfect, and the agenda included the other path less taken along with giving the tree it's much needed face lift.  I did some other cleaning out.  It was a fun afternoon.  The two Big Blues are stuffed to the max and it's only Monday.  I just remembered because of Columbus Day trash comes on Thursday.  I could fill the B. B. in the garage!  I have an extra day!  It won't be long before the filling days are long gone.  


In a couple of days all the bits of green will disappear.  The neighbor's driveway is in the picture. 

I spent some time with seeds marking the envelopes and packaging all that I have saved.  I snipped some dried flowers from the Mexican Sunflowers.  The seeds found in each flower can vary from none to maybe 10 at the most.  So, the take was small, but time should provide more seeds.  At least that is the hope.  

                                                                Thinking next spring.

A big bonus is eating at McAlister's tonight with the North Church North Side group.  Woo, woo.  I had  a bowl of potato soup. Anything else is just too much food.  So, the diet doesn't change very much.  Soup is where it is right now.  

Then Monday night football is on the agenda. Life is good.  It's been a very busy day. I'm living with a tired body.  I bet I fall asleep in the chair.  It's been a day with many places earning a thank you.  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
