Saturday

 

                                Mock Quince blooming today.  This is crazy weather but I'll take it.

Today is another day I lived in the pokey box.  Not too much going on.  I kept it that way.  Sleepless in Seattle didn't happen.  It happened in Carmel last night.  So, I used it to sleep this morning and afternoon, watch TV and do a bit of sewing burps.  Patty called and we made final plans to attend the Umoja dinner/fund raiser tomorrow evening.  That should be a lot of fun.  

                                                        Sitting on the kitchen counter.  

I'm a little uneasy about my sewing machine.  It seems to want to do some unusual sewing.  Knowing how old it is and the hours I spent with it this past year or so might tell me something. It has an appointment for some major overhauling at the beginning of January, it is really showing its age again just like a few other things at this address.  I may need to hang it up for a while unless I can remedy the problem.  I'll admit that it was scheduled for a checkup about a year ago, but I forgot all about it.  They don't call with reminders like the doctor's office does.  Big Bummer.  I need all the help I can muster.

                            Cleome still looking good.  It's a tough but delicate self seeding flower.

 wanted to walk around the block but decided that the temperature needed to be a little warmer.  So that turned into a bust.  I need to visit the Y and the Monon again.  The last visit was before Covid.  The Y would be the treadmill and the Monon would be the walking area.  Moving is what living is all about.  

I did take a look outside with the clippers and got some great flowers for in the house.  There were a host of flowers still blooming that are posted today.  It's almost Dec. and no killing frost.  What a difference that makes.  

                                                            Marigolds are blooming again.

I did a little football watching wondering what Ohio State was going to do.  They play IU next week.  Should I be worried?  Probably just a tad if worrying will help IU.  Today's game was with Northwest which has a good team but not good enough for a win.

Rita game me a huge bunch of beautiful zinnias a couple of weeks ago.  Some have dried.  A few are on the way.  I always keep a last bunch of zinnias till spring in all their ugliness knowing that the peddles hold a seed and when planted next year something beautiful will be with the world again. Hope and surprises are waiting. 

I'm looking forward to another quiet evening.  Purdue is waiting for me to watch. Tomorrow is church day.  The Nativities are leaving the attic!

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

 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
