Wednesday

         The pictures today I call record shots taken this morning.  It humbles me to see what I have.                              So...bunnies, I'd rather you leave my tall zinnias alone but if not...I can live with it.  

                                         I owe the Lord a morning song of gratitude and praise.                                                          It's a wonderful gift I see from the patio with morning coffee.  Life is good.

Caraway Seed Dee.  I looked for it, but I gave up when I found the dill seed.  Next time Dee!  It's a Russell family thing for all who are not Russell's.

So, today was almost a nothing burger.  I've been having a little trouble (pain) with a hip and all the garden stuff the last two day certainly didn't help that.  In fact, I would say the pain was because of the garden work.  So, it was another night of sleep and awake. Then the same over and over.  So, I declared that today would be a nothing burger.  

                                For the kind mercy, he has shown. In lengthening out my days.

Neighbor Gina is doing some monumental stuff in her yard just across the road with the help of her son. There are a lot of tree limbs, etc. to move on to somewhere.  I spent most of the morning on the patio watching anything that needed watching and lunch just moved right in sooner than expected.  

                                            He kept me safe another night, I see another day.                                                                                      Now may His spirit as the light. Direct me in His ways.

  Around three I decided I needed some gardening books so off we went to the library.  The visit was cut short with fewer books than usual with more discomfort that told me it was time to find a seat in the car.  I'll be back.  The criteria for choosing gardening books...they must have pretty pictures! I don't read many words!  We stopped at busy Walgreens on the way home.  Once again, I was happy to be back at the homestead, taking care of my body.  A little of just about anything seems to go a long way. I'm thinking nothing burger tomorrow. Who knows for sure?  It could be a real burger! 

                                                                    It's T time all the time.

            We had supper with another great garden salad with a lot of things from the garden!  Dah!!!  

                                        The morning sun reminds me of the cherry on top.  

We also had a great visit by phone with our Novi, Mi camping friends Dennis and Marcie.  We could talk forever.  I really think forever sometimes about stuff and then not about stuff.  

                      An early morning sighting of the triplets.  The twins were nowhere to be seen.                          School started this morning with buses seen more than once. Should I start a pre-school for fawns?                                      I wonder if the school bus might be their transportation out of town.

    Beautiful garden. Wow! Every way you look! Why look at pictures when you can look at that?

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...

Amazing Saturday

 For many reasons it has been an amazing day.  One to remember as long as memory allows me.   Once again sleep did not stick with me, so I was once again out of bed around 1 last night.  I thought of checking the IU Portal for whatever it was going to tell me.  And it did a lot of talking about the scan that happened Wednesday.  The Easter portal news is that all cancer related things seem to be pretty stable with even some slight improvement in one area. Ever so slight but that still is great news.  So. for now, I feel like the stone has been rolled away and new life is with me.  Thanks be to God.  So back to bed and I slept till 6.  I'll take it with Thanksgiving.  Breakfast came and the clock proved it was time to leave for Church to get a jump on Easter visuals before the crew arrived.                 New members Hannah and Andrew working in the chapel with the lamb and...
