Wednesday

 As I begin the blog, it's mid-afternoon.  I'm give it a go as to what happened this morning.  

                                    This little beauty is on it's way to closing.  So long friend.

There was a little TV watching but not much. The bird feeders were filled.  The finch know how to eat like it's a thanksgiving meal every day.   I started thinking about burps knowing about 20 needed to be turned to the right side.  So I did that.  Ironing all 20 flat was the next step.  Yesterday, I wrote about my sick machine but thought, WHY NOT TRY this morning. So, I did and Low and Behold! (my mother's words) The machine came to life just like it usually does.  Woo.  So, I stitched slowly10 burps using a gentle touch with the machine.  I have another 10 ready for the last  time around with the sewing machine and I just may give it a go this afternoon.  

                                    Stacks of burps in various stages.  Alot happened today.  

There was another pressing and folding and so far the number completed is 30 on my way to another hundred.  Slow and easy is on my mind right now.  I did the "fix the computer" thing. Just turned the machine off.  Then on!  I wonder how long that will work.

I released two butterflies this morning, a swallowtail and the last monarch.  Then it was time to replenish the parsley for the caterpillars.  



The caterpillers, some big and some small are certainly good eaters.  One little guy was crawling on to new parsley before I had it secure in the container. Another thanksgiving meal in the cage.  There are 8 chrysalis with the live caterpillars, out numbering the sleepers.  Yikes.  

                                 I think I counted 8 in the family. They do eat parsley.  
                                                This little guy woke up around 5 tonight. 

I took a walk around the block.  Today, it felt long and warm.  There was a stop at the neighbors for a long visit.  She's also a gardener so there is always something to talk about.  Today it was about her new roof coming soon.  She is one of the Becky Daisy adopters.

My florist neighbor had roses sitting on her driveway for walkers to take and two little bunches came home with me. A freebee for sure. She must have had a lavender wedding over the weekend.


The body was telling me it was time to sit with perhaps a sleep just about to happen.  Then a visit with the sewing machine finished the next 10.  The total completed now is 40.  It's time to start ripping away at the stash of flannel sheets.  Babies are waiting. There was no church visit today for me.  I left that to Heidi who lives very close to 38th and Meridian.  

It's been a wonderful fall day. Things are changing which even includes me.

 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...

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...
