Sunday

Zinnias on the way!

Church day and we did church.  In fact we both did choir.  It was harder than I thought it would be.  There is so much to remember like time signature, line ones notes are on, and more.  The notes were really tiny, so it seemed.   Remembering I'm an alto and not a pew singing soprano was just another thing.  Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. 


Straw flowers just beginning to show off.

There was lunch and then an afternoon of taking it easy with one exception.  My church friend Dot asked if the garden was open tomorrow and I said sure.  She's almost a neighbor living a mile south of us.  So she's visiting around 10 tomorrow.  So the snippers came out getting rid of Day Lily stems that the deer created.  They are so creative and if that is to continue, they will need to find another yard full of Day Lilys.  All of mine have proven to be pretty tasty.  So there was an hour or so of work that just hopefully made most of the plots improve their looks.  

                                                                A great mixture of plants.

There was a lengthy phone visit with Jared and Kimmy.  Next weekend they will make their way north for the 2026 year of camping.  If I could get there in a time capsule, I certainly would.  

Supper happened and the rest of the evening was a TV evening.  Easy does it. 

        Three different colors of Butterfly bush are waiting for butterflies.  They are filled with nectar.

I'm happy to be back on the chair.  Afternoon garden work isn't very easy with the sun shinning.  But I'm a glutton for punishment, you know.

                                   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...
