Sunday

 Sunday again.  I didn't do much walk around stuff before we left for church.  The choir was rehearsing when we arrived and that was a huge treat.  Summer choir starts next Sunday with our new director of music in charge.  This Sunday was Trinity Sunday and the service was planned around the trinity with a wonderful sermon with a lot of depth of thinking.  Hymns about the trinity were sung.  Just a great inclusive service.  

                Mullin in bloom.  A regal shape and texture added to the garden in two different spots.                                                          Beautiful for a while and then it is time to move on. 

The promised cannas were carted home with the question about available space running through my mind.  There was lunch and then discovering how many cannas the bag was holding.  There were a lot.  After thinking and looking and then doing it all over again I found four spots that would hold the cannas.  That was after I moved a few things to make space available.  The sunflowers were planted.  A lot of deadheading coral bells and spraying deer off on a lot of day lily buds happened.  Last night the Stella Dora Lilies and Asters took a hit. There always seems to be a midnight party.


This Stella Dora was missed.  I counted at least 18 stems with many flower buds on each stem eaten by deer on each of two other plants.  Yes, remember...deer were here first.  Tonight all got a spray of deer off.

This morning a male oriole dropped by while I was at the window.  He looked everywhere for jelly and the lady watching had cleaned up all the jelly holders tired of ants partaking.  He even sat on the window sill  where the lady was displaying the new jelly jar. Well he left and that lady quickly once again filled all the oriole feeders.  Yes...the horse was out of the barn at that point so to speak.  What a bummer. 


                                                                Grape Jelly is available, friends.

A week early for us but today we had our monthly zoom meeting with family members.  I always love them hearing and seeing folks once again.  It's a great way to visit but in person would even score higher.  

So, it was another great Sunday ready for the week.  Tomorrow is another morning when we'll clean up Pentecost at church.  Sad, sad but Pride month is coming with some things staying the same such as the west entry and somethings changing in other places.  Summer finds the first Sunday service being held in the chapel.  We'll need to be sure that space is ready for the change.

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...

 The morning started off with breakfast and then a trip with Eric to Nora where he catches the bus to Indy.  I always love these trips in the winter often accompanied with a beautiful winter sun rise.  The morning light was coming through but it will be even better in another month.  I have taken some beautiful pictures in the early morning.   Home again and I did some sewing and some knitting.  The usual stuff that seems to be the winter work.  Ten more burps and I finished another scarf, one that could have been finished yesterday.  I was thinking no rush which is really true.  There is no rush. All the ripped fabric has been sewn so it would seem new ripping will happen soon. This noon was our first North Side North Church noon lunch instead of supper.  No driving in the dark for three months.  There were eleven of us, a smaller group but we all sat around one long table which was really nice.  And there was so much tal...

 Another Monday.  There have been many.  I think I've had 1524 of them.  Math wasn't my best subject, but I think that number is close to being correct. I am more than grateful.  In another 13 days soon to be 87 with 52 Mondays in a year.  Should I have added the 0 year?  Yikes. There are many Mondays.  Go figure yours.   There was breakfast and the garden walk and sure enough, sleep gave the embarrassed zinnias a gift.  They look great although a day in the sun will have some affect.  Tomorrow they should really feel good.   I did a bit of clipping this morning and found that yesterday and today's deer food resulted in 63 naked stems with not a day lily bloom left to show themselves to the world.  Grr for sure.                              The leftovers from the midnight meal of daylilies. Who turned on the lights?  ...
