Friday

 

                This Dahlia is looking good.  It is far from the bunny paradise where food was free.

Last night I pulled the hose off the roller so this morning IT was waiting for me.  And IT just would not go away.  Darn!  So as usual after putting it off with all the other things that get the morning moving I attached the sprinkler, set the devise to the shape needed and turned on the water.  Resetting happened with each bed that was watered and more beds were blessed with the far beds still waiting.  The job was sort of fun with the unexpected spray of water cooling me off from time to time.  So some places in the garden I'm hearing a sigh of relief from the week of heat.  I'm ignoring  those needing water.  Mean gardener! But please, the far bed is filled with mostly drought tolerant plants.

            Tomorrow I'll work on protection from the animals for these low to the ground tomatoes.  

While waiting for the sprinkling to finish I was able to fluff some of the beds removing some weeds emerging even growing in what was a dry bed of dirt.  So what my eyes can see from the house looks pretty good.  When checking the weather for the coming days, there could be a possibility of rain on the way.  How much?  That remains to be seen.  Once again there is that HOPE option.  If all else fails I'll pull the hose to the far gardens. 

                        This little lady doubled in size overnight.  I've got to keep my eye on her.  

Late morning brought on more sleepy time.  We made a trip to Wild Birds for suet.  Mr. Big Woodpecker was here last night and the cupboard was bare.  Poor bird.  Friday is wash day and Doug once again did the wash.  What a guy!!!  The first load is folded and drawered and soon the second load will have the same in the draw lodging.  

                                                        Rose of Sharon starting to bloom.  

Soccer is on the dance card along with lots of hydrating ice water.  I'm loving this entertainment with always the unexpected happening.  

Neighbor Gina starting another HUGE project.  Staining her fence.  Some needs to be done by hand.  Some can be done with a spray gun.  It's a HUGE project for a HUGE fence.  She's not afraid to tackle anything.

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...

                                   A nice ending to an interesting day.  Fresh flowers are always refreshing.  I woulad call this a little crazy day.  Meaning the unexpected was part of the morning.  But first... A great night of sleep again thinking it was six o'clock when it really was seven.  Now an extra hour of sleep never hurt anyone.  There was breakfast of course with a little TV. Yesterday I finished sewing and turning 30 burps, so the order of the morning was to iron all of them with top stitching in mind at some point. And there was time to iron all 30.             I did some straw flower seed saving.  It's a repeat of last fall that worked well this spring. Then it was off to church to pick up and put away all the things that supported the six weeks of sermons on prayer.  I love these lit...

 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...
