Wednesday

 When walking the garden tonight, you will realize I picked different flower colors to photograph.



WHERE SHOULD I START!  Yes, all capital letters.  It was a day like none other.  Really, not even close to something close to familiar.  Well, maybe.  No not maybe. So, where should I start?


As you might have remembered, there is a class at the Y for folks with cancer.  I was invited to be a part of that group.  And I was.  I'm taking a break now for the next 12 week program but will probably attend in the winter.  One of the members is from Trinidad.  She has 3 children, none of which live in the area.  One is in Tenn. One in UK and I think maybe the third is in Canada.  She is looking forward to Cataract Surgery in a few weeks.  Currently, she is receiving treatment for active cancer.  I volunteered to do some driving for her.  Today was the day and Uber Lela was on the road to many places for many reasons.  We spent some time here for her to do some mid-day recuperation sleeping on the couch and having lunch with Doug and I. and then it was on the road again with Ro as I will call her.  I left home at 10am and returned at almost 7pm.  It was a wonderful day of being together laughing at ourselves and others.  She was looking forward to Tylenol tonight.  I told her to have a glass of wine.  We visited three different banks and shopped at Walmart.  There were CVS stops and Kroger stops. We made a stop at IU North to see the rock collection and meet the desk folks.  We missed Kathy.  


Talk about covering territory.  Ro lives east and south of Fort Ben but loves the Nora area where all the banks are located. So. we were east and south east then north around the Indianapolis area. Woo. a different kind of day and one to remember for a very long time.  And probably one the Uber lady will not to repeat for a while.  


I passed by Nicky and Paul G's house more than once and finally stopped in with a good made-up story about expecting to be served supper when I pulled in.  Bummer...they were not home.  I'll save that for another time. Nicky was my church choir buddy for many years.  


So today you will hear nothing about garden work.  It survived well without me although during the evening walk I promised a little drink TOMORROW, TOMORROW, I'LL WATER YOU TOMORROW.


The rest of the evening I'll be taking care of the Uber Lady!  Well, what is left of the evening. Call me Tuckered tonight.

    Yes, indeed. I love these flowers! (And I don't know why I have become anonymous, but apparently that is what I am.)

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?  ...
