Friday

 

                    I'm sharing a picture received today flying and sitting in almost the heart of Indianapolis.                                                  No name of country bumpkin for this little guy.

Today was a sweatshop day.  It started before 8 and I escaped at 2:30. All because of a crazy goal I set for myself.  Most unrealistic to say the least.  But I did it. The goal was to finish 100 burps before evening today.  Persistence paid off.  My next sewing goal should be more realistic.  We'll see how that goes.  One "reason for the goal was to deliver the burps to church tomorrow for Ginny and her crew to be picked up Sunday.  Tomorrow, I'm dragging things to church.  Not Sunday when that usually happens.  Tomorrow morning is soup kitchen work. So I'm off to see the wizard, again! 

                 
Here is a hummingbird moth, sometimes called a spinks moth, sometimes called a hummingbird moth. 

Early afternoon there was a walk around the block.  Once again, I was chased off the new walkway by guys putting the finishing touches on that particular walk. Roladers and bumpy lawns don't mix so well. There was a  huge truck chasing me down the walk.  Yikes again. 

A little kitchen stuff happened along with a garden walk.  A big dish of icecream perked me up enough to finish the last 10 burps.  Yeah!  Done, finished, over, completed!

The garden report...Last evening I watered the lettuce.  It sure doesn't look like lettuce, but I'll give it more time.  Maybe it's a new kind of lettuce.  We should be eating red beets.  Yesterday's pick of zinnias seems to be drying well.  Our second summer is helping that along. 

Susans are going dormant.  Monday starts the take down filling the B Blues as has happened for many years.  This year there is a brand new hedge trimmers.  Super news for sure. I don't love the birds enough to let the Susans hang around looking ugly. Clean up happens for the gardens in the fall. I would say another reason for that crazy sewing goal. 

Supper came along as usual and then I heard my body say take it easy, girl.  So, I did for the rest of the day. The burps are packed, waiting at the door.  So are the plastic bags for soup kitchen tomorrow morning. 

  

                                                                Ready, willing and able.

Monday

 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...

Monday

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...

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...
