Tuesday

 The: day started in the car.  Well, maybe not but the car thing came at 7:50.  For someone else living in this house the day doesn't start till around 9.  So, I let him sleep and I drove myself, once again downtown Indy to the Simon Cancer Center.  I can do it! At this visit I saw Dr. Langer who directed my radiation treatments on my head the spring of 2021.  He always wants to do a yearly check, and it was time.  BUT he graduated me out of his program.  Thank God.  An early morning trip to downtown isn't very easy and today proved that to be true again.  So, I said goodby to another great guy who walked me through a difficult mental radiation treatment.  I am grateful. Why did I choose an early morning visit.  I didn't choose.  I was told so I complied.  

While I was having radiation at I U North, I always stopped at Rosies garden shop after treatments. That always seemed to help with getting my mind in the right place.  There were many times when I just looked.  Times when I visited and times when I bought.


                        A Coral Bell called Pumpkin Spice.  Something different for a boring spot.   

So today I though I needed a marker for the good by Dr. Langer event.  It wasn't Rosie's but Meijers. I did a lot of looking and some buying.  The day has a marker. 

                     

                            This will go to church next Sunday before it goes in the patio pot. 
So, there was some planting.  I have a few markers to remind me of the goodness of those who walked the walk with me.  

A few more places have had some attention. Not enough yet but we're on the way.  So, I dug holes, watered a little, fluffed the soil a little and just played in the dirt. I planted more dianthus, one of my favorite early blooming perennial plants.  You can never have to many.  



I worked on this spot for quite a while.  I want to add some Lavendar plants.  It's a good hot place with good drainage.  There are some herbs here close to the back door when I need them. But this bed needs a little more help.

Susie and her husband, a next door neighbor are moving to West Field to a bigger house.  At least for now that is the hope. Their house, across the street sold in less than 24 hours.  Woo.  Somethings happen fast.  She and Rody should be moving sometime in May. 

Doug made some fossil choices for me to pick through.  We'll need them for the Sunday Earth service and planning early is on time.  

                                                                        I think we have enough.

Supper saw the first asparagus of the season.  It's a yummy vegetable if one likes asparagus.  I do.



  Tonight the Pacers play their second game.  I will be ready.  Early is on time.  Something to live by.  The chair is waiting.

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...
