Friday.

 

                                         Darn...someone forgot the sled.  It's always happening.                                                                                      Remember, they are birds.  Big birds at that.  

Today I anticipated snow.  At least 2 inches.  Not much promised but I was ready to move from the brown season to the white season.  It didn't happen.  There was a tease but that was about it.  I heard that the Michigan Russell's got snow, so I requested pictures from Kimmy.  That's what you will see today.  It's the white season there for at least a little while.  

        Knee deep in snow.  These birds are inside overnight but they love to be out during the day.                                                                                 Even with no boots. 

I spent all morning on the chair with yarn and wool.  Last night I got the wool ready so the morning started with a bang.  Well, not quite but I was ready.  The morning came early and ended when I woke up on the chair.  I'll take it.  So I stitched all morning and three of the six pieces have yarn added.  More to go with no hurrying in mind.  

                                         Waiting for the birds but they must be in the barn.                                                                             I see no animals in the field.  They must be with the birds.

After lunch, Doug and I headed to the Y again.  He's finished in 60 minutes.  I needed 90.  So little by little I'm stretching the time.  Christmas music played in my head as I walked the mile and then the bike came along for a little while.  That's where the stretch needs to happen.  

                        The flower garden and vegetable garden are taking 40 winks or more.  


Back home again and for something different to do I sewed 10 burps.  That is a start on the next 100.  No hurry. No one is waiting.  

I picked up the book and did a little reading. There are 550 pages and I'm halfway there still learning a whole lot.  No hurry. 

Split Pea with turkey bacon on top for supper.  And then looking forward to the I U Notre Dame game.  

I call this a good day although a little snow would have made it a tad better.  I'm ready.

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...

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 s...

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....
