Saturday

 Today, I'll admit that it was a lost day if one is keeping track of doing things.  What caused that.  I could give you all the maybe's that I can think of but who really knows.  Our bodies are strange little things we live in.  

                                    I am so ready for warmer weather and flowers.  

The night had it's sneezing times, more awake times for the second night which just made the day a little different.  

It was the first day back on Kisqali which is my powerful cancer medicine.  There was the prescribed week off  of dosing reminding me of chemo treatment!  I never know how I'll feel with Kisqali.  There are a couple of pages of side effects.  Most of the time I never can identify with any of them.  So, is today's feeling part of Kisqali?  Who knows. NOT me.  Could be.  Could NOT be.

                                                                       So much color.  

So today was a sleep day, a sneeze day, a runny eyes day a blow my nose day, a headache day and a sluggish feeling day.  I'm sure with time this will all disappear again.  But it was here today.  


From the Dahlia Garden in Midland, Mi.  A very special garden with hundreds of different dahlia's.

I sort of watched basketball, sort of knitted.  Made a trip to Aldi's getting the forgotten cottage cheese and then to the drugstore for vitamins with Doug in the driver's seat.  The walk outside didn't happen.  It was cold.  The rug just laid on the table waiting.  And Alexandars words come back to me again. 

I heard from Heidi who is working on  Lent decorations for the sanctuary.  The hand will be eliminated.  It belonged to husband James who was checking out the hanging devise. 

                                            One of six crosses hanging in the sanctuary.  

                We'll hang six crosses next week along with other things. It will be a busy week.  

                                                        We use a lot of thistles during Lent.

I'm closing out the day with nothing new happening.  Just the same old same old with resting what needs to be rested.   Tomorrow marks another church day. I'm ready for it.

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 Another great celebration with family with a few little twists as sometimes families can produce.  But celebrate we did with lots of food and lots of card games and just lots of everything that makes memories.  We're tired and glad to say the celebration as good as it was, is over for another year.  And we're looking forward to seeing what a year from now brings.  Today was a day of picking up the pieces to move into busy December. A bit of Christmas decorating happened at home.                                        The stockings were hung.  At least two you see and three you don't. Heidi carried on with the last-minute things that happen at a busy church when scheduling seems to flop over each other during our absence.  We've scheduled another work morning for tomorrow just to make sure that everything is covered for the rest of th...

 It's been a crazy day. It started with more cinnamon rolls and then a little visiting and then it was out the door to the yard where we stayed all day long.  The hum of the chainsaws were in the air but not before the piliated birds visited.  Yes, it was chain saw heaven some would say.  The huge maple tree got its promised trim that was needed. That took a long time with the grandsons stacking wood.   A skill they have learned well and can be demonstrated with great execution.  Some was stacked and branches piled as to dead or alive with many ending up on the burn pile before the day was over.  Others were left for Doug to take care of but not many.   Then it was on to two oak trees and a crab apple.  Add the smoke tree and another very old huge maple tree. The stacked wood was put on some internet advertisement place and all disappeared after supper with a super happy couple dropping by and leaving with a car load of wood for som...
