Friday

 Another day of doing.  First at home and then at other places.  I fetched the paper and snipped three more Dahlia's for the vases.  Remembering, the more I clip, more will appear.  That really works.  The rest of the garden was a joy to see.  So many happy colors for so many butterflies and bees to enjoy landing spots.  

This is a butterfly mystery.  As you can see the butterfly is on the floor in the dining room.  That is where I found it this afternoon..  It hatched somewhere in the house but where and when and why?  It was moving very slowly so the hatching part had just happened.  It's all a total mystery.  Besides this one there were many others in the garden. We just added one more. That's a first for sure.  

I finished another knitted scarf and added it to the scarf basket.  There is one area of scarf knitting when  at one time I would sweat bullets to complete.  Not so now.  I guess after doing so many, my fingers know where to be to keep the yarn from slipping off the needles.  Woo.  I appreciate that immensely.

                                                                            So pretty.  

Then it was on to completing 10 more burps.  That was easy.  The sewing machine cooperated although I think it's telling me it needs a check up. Maybe it can fix it's self like I think computers do sometimes.  The sewing machine has it's own computer inside somewhere.  I think!

The rest of the morning was easy.  The energy bucket seemed to be lost somewhere so I enjoyed doing much of nothing.  

                                                        A resting place for the bumble bee.

There was another tiny meal.  And as I was ready to step out the door to drive north for my time with Ramona, I received a text saying that she was at Riverview Hospital with some issues.  So that gave me the unexpected afternoon off to sit a spell and knit.  This body has been a bit sluggish today so having home time was greatly appreciated.  Low gear in the chair was welcomed.  

There was a very short trip to Aldi's for that good old beef and chicken broth item with some good old fruit that works with sick stomachs.  Doug did a Eric pick up and I did the blog after making supper for both of us.  We'll eat a bit late tonight.  It goes with some of what happened today.  Slow and Easy.  

I think there is a Fever game tonight.  That is one really hot team at this point.  It should be fun to watch.

                                   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...

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...
