Wednesday

                                    More baby pink Holly Hocks.  I'm thrilled to have them.  

Today was a quiet day.  I checked the garden this morning and the last night rain was another beater enjoyed by most but not by all.  I did some clover pulling but not much.  The morning was sticky and I knew heat was on the way which proved to be correct.  

    Cucumber plants thrilled to have the rain.  They seemed to have doubled in size these last two days.

I hung up my CPap machine very early because the nose piece came loose and I was to lazy/sleepy to insert another  before falling back asleep.  The lack of that extra sleep support proved to be my undoing.  Today I made sure the CPap machine is ready for tonight.  A long pause in breathing just doesn't feel so good when that causes waking.

                                                Sun loving Stella Dora showing her best side.

Sleep today filled in a lot of time going with the heat.  I made a trip to Aldi's with the basket full of mostly what fills me rather than Doug.  I'm a yogurt junky.  I never can get enough and it's keeping my sugar and weight levels at a wonderful place. That's a very good thing these days.                                     

Tomatoes loosing their green color only to turn red one of these days. Flowers mean more tomatoes.

I made more inquiries about our friend Ramona's health and Rita and I will try to make a visit happen tomorrow afternoon at Community North Hospital.  Today marked a week since our all day travels together taking her to places she asked to visit.  Tomorrow marks a week she has been hospitalized.  I think both of her daughters are here in town now. 

                                        The lettuce would prefer a little shade these days.

So the day was pretty quiet.  No garden work because of wet hot conditions.  And the promise of more rain is there for a number of days.

Tonight is another Knicks/Spurs game.  Tomorrow evening the Fever play.

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?  ...
