Saturday

First.  We were fortunate to be at the Meijer's Gardens when a Chihuly special showing of beautiful glass was exhibited.  There are some perminate displays but the special exhibit will be there until November.  Today you will see some of what we saw. 

I woke up this morning with my mind set on resting.  Woo.  Yesterday was a full day and doing a lot of nothing this morning was the message buzzing in my ear.  

            My descriptive words.  Big cubes of glacier ice creating their own piled together sculpture.

I did make a garden run but nothing happened.  It was just a run...no slow walk come to think of it.  It was a bit cloudy and later on there was lightening and thunder.  After a very long pause of at least 15 minutes the rain came.  It felt a bit like camping weather.  And after another long pause there was even more rain.  So I'm happy to say that eliminated another job that would not have been a lot of nothing.  

I checked the TV options making sure I was tuned at the right time to the right channel for the late afternoon soccer game.  

                                                    This was found in the Japanese gardens lake.

There was lunch and the feeling a bit like something had to happen, I set off to shop at Goodwill.  Doug got a shirt he liked.  I found some flannel sheets for winter sewing along with a new pair of Skecher shoes.  I would call it a successful trip.  The washing machine is helping to get the fabric ready for their next step toward burps some time in the future.  

       .                                            A small part of the ceiling decoration.
                                                We had a wonderful lunch in this space.

I spent some time running the sweeper where it was needed and then it was back to the chair for soccer and a protein drink since I needed a huge boost with so much shopping.  Right?  Maybe but maybe not. I just needed a boost.

T            There was an outside Chihuly display as well as an indoor.  We chose the outdoor treats.

                        That sort of takes care of the rest of the day with two more teams going home.

                                   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...
