Monday

 Tonight is a pink night.  The itchy bites reminded me to take pictures this afternoon.  That was a good thing for another reason.  It's thunderstorm time as I write this.  

                          Surprise Lilies.  For years we never saw them bloom.  We were camping.

Another Monday to add to the many Monday's I have experienced.  I wonder what day of the week
I was born.  I've never thought of that before.  


                                                        Photo bombed by the orange sister.

The Monday began as many do with all the stuff that starts the day.  I was feeling a bit slow in the tooth, so to speak.  I just wasn't pushing Monday to start but it happened as usual.  The paper was retrieved.   The Dahlias got a good checking over with a few plants receiving their second tie up.  They are growing.  Some faster than others just like people.  


                                                                        A State Fair beauty.

The chair came next with knitting on another scarf ending with more of the second scarf over half way finished.  That lasted for a while but I thought the body needed to move.  That could help the mind and indeed it did.  

                                                                                    Celosia

I was off to the Y for a walk on the treadmill and my head hearing Shubert and my feet walking to the beat.  My eyes were seeing scenes of Argentina.  What a gift for the body and mind that all came together to heal the soul.  I talked to my Living Strong friends as they were working on some machines.  So what started slow finished with good thoughts and a body that said Thank You!  


It was back home again on Hillsdale Dr. with lunch.  The weather is going to heat up a bit this afternoon so the house was closed up with fans running that made living very doable.  The afternoon was a bit more quiet without many interruptions.  A little salad food prep was done for the week.  Protein drinks were refrigerated with a little more of this and that completed. This being marking burp clothes. That was to finish another scarf. 

                                            Of course, the never to be forgotten, much loved  Holly H.

                                   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...
