Brr Wednesday

 Garbage day and we managed to have 4 Big Blues at the street.  That's the most ever for one pick up.  Ornamental grass takes up a lot of room.  

I ironed the 10 burps I worked on yesterday and did the top stitching on all 10.  More flannel was ripped and folded.  Neighbor rang the doorbell borrowing the crock pot for the Sat. Chili party at the park.  It's going to be a Brrr party.  Should I or should I not make Chocolate Chip Cookies!? We had a great visit. 

Then Doug and I were off to Aldi's for that once in a while tour of the store.  Remodeling has increased options by at least 100%. I'm learning quickly to look in new places for old stuff. We're set for another week or so.  After everything was stocked, I was off to the Y for a walk on the treadmill.  A mile was the goal reached.  Then off to Wild birds for a small bag of Safflower seeds.  Black birds are supposed to hate Safflower. We'll see who likes it.


            The rocks in the feeder help to steady and slow down the movement caused by the wind.

A small amount of Safflower because I wanted to see what the birds of all kinds would do with it. And the feeder isn't a Wild birds feeder so would this all work.  Time will tell.  The wind and the change in temperature certainly have lessened the number of birds seen today.  So far, so good.


                                                    Two tiny Finch getting dinner. 

Supper was stuffed peppers and rice again.  And then it was off to Broad ripple to get Eric. Doug took left overs to Eric.  He loves stuffed peppers.  Kat experiences migraine headaches when the weather changes and this week certainly has seen that happening more than once.  Frost is predicted tonight.  I think I'll be covering things just in case. 


 
Living at the top of the hill helps to avoid the first frost of the season.  Let's hope that is true tonight. Some of the zinnias are close to the house which usually keeps them a bit warmer.

So another good day with things to do and miles to go before I sleep.  
Did I lose the window for washing.  I hope not. It was too cold to open windows today.

Wednesday was another good day.  They just keep coming and I need to keep going to the Y.  I tried a machine today that proved to me I have weak arms.  GOOD GRIEF! Something to work on.

Another month of Kisqali has arrived by Fed X.  Medicine is taking care of me.  I am blessed.

 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...
