Thursday

 The garden walk happened this morning after a big bug spray job over and under my clothes and more.  I decided the big now overgrown wild violets in one spot needed to be pulled. Violets produce thousands of seeds after blooming and that is something I don't need. The garden cart was pulled out of the garage and on the way to the violets I found more stuff that needed to be removed.  After all that happened I went on to the violet spot.  Out they came easily with ground still soaked with water.  

            We'll start with a pretty pink begonia.  I'd love to have more but I'll let someone else buy!

Then it was on to the area around one of our big huge pine trees.  At one time ivy grew up to the top of that tree.  Not any more with effort to eliminate anything close to the base of the tree.  Today that happened which is quit a job.  I ended up with a cart load for the big blue.  There was a lot of digging and pulling and clipping to make the job a success.  It took a shower to recover my body and then it was on to lunch.  

            This big guy got a nice cleaning job completed around his feet. It should do for a while.                              It was looking pretty messy for quite a while.  Not any more. One more tree to go.

Rita and I had requests pertaining to our afternoon visit with Ramona. Rita took a blue tooth for music playing and I made my way to Meijers shopping for a oil diffuser and some oil.  We are on our way to visit Ramona at 3.  She had a spinal procedure this morning. She was very quiet during the visit. Perhaps a bit tired out by the morning procedure.  The visit was made delivering the asked for items.  We got to visit with Ramona's twin daughters and one grandson.  It was a pleasure beyond measure to learn more about her family.

Cosmos growing taller in their protective from rabbits environment.  Outside the garage this morning was a tiny little bunny but not too small to hop away fast.  Not far away was the mother.  

Back home on the ranch and right on to a Uber trip once again from Broad ripple to Carmel.  It's a great chance to visit with Eric.  He straightened out my iPhone.  It was doing crazy things with pictures. 

        The little pond keeps on bubbling away staying pretty clean with it's screen cover not seen here.                                              I'm waiting for the plants to get larger soon...I hope.

Then home for supper, dishes and finishing the blog with the rest of today adding pictures.  Another good day.  NO! GREAT day.

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?  ...
