Tuesday

 Today, was sort of the same but a whole lot different.  Perhaps it started to be different last night.  I'm usually in bed by at least 10:30. Near 12 Doug asked if I was going to bed.  I used the evening till almost 12 to work on the stole making super progress.  Yesterday was a bell ringer of work for sure.  And this morning after being up at 6, I was back at it by 7 with a whole lot of hand work staring me in the face. There can only be an onward and forward with Wed. being the dead, dead, deadline. I will add it turned out to be different and better than I thought. Knowing Jill which isn't very well because of being new to North, I think she will love it.  She has a beautiful collection of stoles in her office and this one will be added. Now you can take aim at me.  I forgot to take a picture!  I'm great at ducking. Sad to say we won't see her wear it for the first time but I'm sure she will have it on the rest of the Sundays in June.  

    My friend Mary took these pictures at church since once again I failed.  I would say the stole is not so subtle, Purls stand for wisdom. It was a fun but fast project.  I made the dead, dead, deadline a bit early.   On to other things like a simpler life.  Maybe! 

Doug and I took the stole to church this morning and would you know. the staff is off on their annual Kings Island party trip.  Did that make a difference to me?  Not one.  She'll see it one of these days.  It's out of my house and I am forever grateful.  


It's getting more beautiful and I think more unusual every day.

From that event we were back just in time to 103rd street for Doug to visit his doctor.  I dropped him off, went home for reading material, back to the dr. office to drop it off, then off to my last PT meeting with Ro, back to pick him up with his reading material and then HOME for Lupper at 3 PM. Woo.  Bushed might be the word.  

                                                   Daily change, more canna leaves every day.  

The next event was cleaning up all the sewing stuff like trim, pins, needles, scissors, embroidery thread, fabric scraps and much more.  Done! Over! Finished! Done for sure at least this time. 

I walked the garden to see how the Mexican Sunflowers were doing.  I saved seed but it's very apparent that just didn't work.  I have three that will make it.  I planted more a few days ago and I'm still waiting for them to punch their timecard.  I checked the cannas and did a bit of fluffing around them, around zinnias and around the cosmos.  

                                                Bloom busters is doing a great job with blooms.  

Then it was to the lettuce bed for a great picking.  My sister gave me a salad spinner, and I just clean the lettuce, keeping it in the spinner refrigerated and then use it often, lasting sometimes for an entire week.  We'll have a yummy garden salad tonight.  

The fabric includes all the colors of the rainbow with the same in crosses.  When exiting the sanctuary, Jill always walks the North aisle where we sit.  Her stoles are always flying away trying to keep up with Darren who walks the South aisle.  I'll be looking forward to a very colorful flying stole the fourth and fifth Sundays of June.  

I checked on Peter this morning and this afternoon and both times he was lying in his little nest just as quiet as a bunny.  I need to gather the forces if I am ever going to make an attempt to catch him.  

Doug found time to relocate two baby squirrels.  Once this morning and once this afternoon.  Supper was on the patio with that salad item.  We're missing the trees but not that much.  Our time has been spent elsewhere. So, another busy day with energy to match most of the time.  That's a very good thing. I think it might be a hocky night.  Florida is up 2 to1.  And come to think of if, I need to check on the Fever.  There is always something.

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...
