Saturday

        Clean water for the birds and a house ready for the wrens.  One of the seven dwarfs on guard.                           Pretty blue bells for those who like B Bells. The Piliated Wood Pecker is seen often. 

As you all have figured out...Saturday ends the week and this end is the one I've been looking forward to.  Lots of unplanned things happened this week, so I'm done with this week.  Now on to fewer surprises, please. Just be ordinary.

                                                I can't get enough of purple and yellow.  

It was a very short night again with an early rise and then off to church for the first of two Saturdays preparing lunch for the community folks or just anyone who walks through the door needing a meal.  I spent about 20 minutes working by myself and then Sarah Ellen arrived.  It was a busy morning with a lot to do with a lot of workers.  Five rather new to us.  We made the deadline and when it seemed that all was near ready, I took the car toward home and left the rest of the morning to other folks to complete.  I think that will be the new procedure perhaps moving on to other things.  At least that worked today.

                    Another spring with Jack!  I see the beginnings of more Jacks or could they be Jills.

I stopped at Aldi's for a few things on the way home and then it was home for the day.  I filled some big pots with flowers and herbs.  They will be in a sheltered place for a while although the weather promises to be warm although with a bit of rain.  All good in the long run. 

        A pot of new Rose Mary near the herb harden. Last year's Rose Mary is showing growth signs.

I fell a sleep on the patio with the sun keeping me nice and cozy.  There are times when the cancer meds side effects cause muscle joint pain and that's been the problem today.  Walking can be a bit difficult so if there is no need to walk I don't.  Wanting to garden making good improvements need to wait. Tomorrow, I will finish another three weeks of medicine with next weeks no meds recuperating from another period of tough pills keeping me on the right track. 

Nothing big is planned for the weekend.  I'm looking forward to empty for sure.

 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.             ...

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...

 With a good sleep to start the day, I was ready for whatever would come my way.  So, it was breakfast, the paper, a garden walk and more.  And there was a whole lot more.                                Th ese wood chips brighten my day.  A super reuse of a wonderful old friend. I was off to Quilt Quarters for yellow and green batik to add to the stole making.  And the morning was spent with the fabric cutter and the sewing machine.  I was on a roll but there were other plans for at least part of the morning.  A neighbor's tree down the road fell on the power lines and the electricity was no more.  So that meant the sewing machine didn't work.  It isn't the treadle type machine, you know. So, I did what I could meaning cutting more fabric for a bit .                        ...
