Wednesday.

 

                                            False Salomon Seal popping up as it does every year.  

I don't know if the spirit brought this on but I'm a bit tired, no, really tired with my day starting again for the second day in a row at 2 AM.  What's with it.  Should I blame it on the spirit.  Probably not.  I spent the dark part of the day knotting.  I didn't have that on the agenda, but it was easy to add at that dark hour of the day.  What I thought would take all day was finished by 8 am.  

                                                    All knotted and ready to go.

Woo.  I could tell the day would be full having that kind of a start.  And the next start was another scarf.  Why not.  Yarn is waiting and I just moved on to something. I just got it started and will work a bit tonight.  So the Christine stuff is finished.  I'm move it on when I see her at church Sunday.  

There was a little morning TV stuff and then it was time to put away all that was needed for the latest sewing project.  That took a while.  

I decided a trip to Kathy's with some Love in a Mist plants needed to be shared.  So I dug and moved the two clumps to Kathy's garden with the hope of not being seen.  She texted me pictures and was so excited that finally her seeds had germinated.  Joke, Kathy.  I love to get her a little sideways.  During her Covid quarantine, I made her a wren house and just pitched it out the car window landing by her mailbox.  Today I made another wren house and will pitch it tonight.  She'll find it probably in the morning near the Love.  My sense of humor. It's sideways.


The lawn got it's first mow of the spring.  I thought they would be here.  We had some long grass. 

It is a son, father Carmel business.  On Wednesday the father works for the son.  The father is on the riding mower.  It's a real team that gets the job done quickly.  We have no complaints.  


I perused the garden again finding a few things that needed to be moved.  Two coral bells needed a better place in the sun.  Lamb's Ear was covering up another plant.  It got moved.  And I found some more tiny Bergamine that joined the new patch also now in the sun.  More Charlie is showing up making sure I don't forget him.  All the movers got a drink after supper.  This is really good moving weather. 

                              This was the scene from the patio. No longer brown but green. 

I talked to Kimmy for a while today.  I certainly miss the Michigan family and a phone call really helps.  I told Doug the car needs to visit Midland.  I got a little grunt.  

Mock Quince.  After cleaning all the dead wood out and being 50 years old, we have a stunning bush. 

The weather is a bit strange today.  It's been tornado warm with wind really whipping.  There are warnings out to stay aware.  It's April.  

Supper was apple, grape, celery and pecan salad.  Yum.  

So off to make a wren house delivery.   A little bit sideways.  Fun, fun.

    I am not sure whether Hostetlers had sideways humor or whether you learned it from your in-laws. The pictures are great - lovely quilt and gorgeous mock quince!

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...
