Saturday

 I'm a little late starting the blog but there was an important happening early evening.  So here goes the attempt.  It was a good morning for a Saturday.  I still enjoy Saturday even though all the other days  feel like a Saturday when I was working five days a week.  

                             Nigela, One of the earliest flowers to bloom.  It self seeds every year!

There was a whole lot of bird watching, feeding and thawing bird bath water.  The Blue Birds really like water with their food.  The others don't have water so much on their want list unless it might be for play in the bathtub time.  There were hordes of Blue Birds this afternoon filling the feeder way over the number indicated safe for the space. The fire marshal was nowhere to be seen.

I picked up the new yarn to knit and then realized that it really wasn't new.  I had a skein of the same stuff maybe a month ago.  But the needles were pretty busy, and I finished half a scarf in the morning.  I guess that's all I did with finishing the whole thing later in the day.  I thought two days of almost nothing wouldn't be a bad thing. 

I spent some time talking to Jared about Arnie.  His registered name is first the Kennel he came from.  I forgot that name, next is Arthur and the third name is Bentley.  Now how about that. I finally succeeded. It's Bentley for sure. I think I got the other things correct. If not...do I care?  Bentley is correct! And I'm sure Arnie will meet the lady at the bank.

The afternoon happened and then came a trip to the Y.  There were more folks working than I was hoping for.  All the treads were full, so I started on the Nu Step and eventually went to the treadmill.  All with Schubert in my ear which was wonderful.  I thought about HL but that's all the farther that thought went.  I was ready to go home and get that power drink.  

Tonight, I watched a live stream music program from Goshen College seeing and hearing Andrew sing in two choirs.  Now you know more about the happening. It's a wonderful way to have a chair side view and not feeling left out. There is no long trip home. I hope we can attend the next one with warmer weather.  

I didn't sing a simple song today, but I think having a simple day was just fine.

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...

 Back home again in Indiana.  That's where we were arriving late afternoon yesterday after a wonderful time with Jared, Kimmy and the grandsons adding Kimmy's many relatives to our visit.  It was just what I needed.                                                         Happy times but good grief.  What's with the hair, girl?      We arrived late at the Jared/Kimmy Russell home Thursday afternoon again rediscovering family again along with many free-range chickens, three cats, joe, the horse, three ducks four ewes and Eli's sheep for this year's 4-H entry.  Numerous goldfish would join us later in the week.       This is Eli's friend Hope holding renamed Barb because her nest was found hidden in the rhubarb.             ...

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...
