Tuesdaiy

                                                                A little bit of lavendar.

The day started with time on the patio.  A peaceful morning with the birds.  Then a clang on the trap meant a trip to the woods with a customer.  Yes...another early morning chipmunk that ran around my feet and found the trap.  I did the Uber this morning.  

Then I was off to church to finish the sanctuary decorating for Pride month.  Not on the liturgical calendar, but a very important month for North U M Church.  

It was a new idea for the month bringing about a visual that says you belong here. Heidi and I worked it out and those who passed through the sanctuary approved.  This will remain through the month of June.

It was a good morning. North once again will be a part of the Saturday downtown parade with a booth at the all-day celebration.  Many folks will hear about our ministry.

I wanted to ride in the parade but decided that I might be pushing health issues.  I try to avoid big crowds.  Saturday will bring one of those.  Many colors make a rainbow. Our diversity reminds us of that rainbow.  A wonderful anthem we have sung.  

Doug had an appointment at I U North and I made good on the promise to be home in time for him to be on his way north.  It can be a challenge with so many road closings.  We tried to think through the detours and the real driving experience proved that all the detours were gone.  We had a great laugh about that. 

I spent his away time sleeping while the TV roared on.  I planned on moving a few garden plants but decided the afternoon was a bit hot and being bitten up was something I wanted to avoid.  I've had more than a few of those. So, I'll leave that to perhaps the evening hoping to avoid those little irritating no-see-um bugs. The rest of the weeks will be hot and rainy.  That's great for the plants and the bugs will be dancing.  

                It's great when I can find borage to plant in the garden.  It's just an interesting herb.

After supper with a smidgen of a cool off I couldn't feel I sprayed Off, put on my clothes and then sprayed again.  I think it helped but I did get a few bits.  Uck!  I transplanted basil, marigolds, zinnias and pot marigolds.  The tomato plants look wonderful but needed some branches trimmed out to let some light in.  A few suckers left.  I dusted the cabbage again.  I sprayed the deer food hoping to keep it off limits.  Rain is expected soon again. I'm hearing thunder. It was so good to check again on all the garden folks.
