Saturday

 The day started after a good night of rest.  So, onward and forward or something like that.  There was the usual yogurt with added things and then a wake up hour with my TV friends. The daylight hour brought a walk to fetch the paper and a look at the Dahlias who are in a bed on the way to the paper.  Good planning I would say.  More surprises are on the way.

The morning hours were spent with finishing flower arrangements for the neighbor's party..  I call arranging just stuffing flowers in containers.  But arrangements sound a little glamorous.  There was nothing glamorous unless one thinks only about the flowers. There were Dahlias among the group snipped.  Filling six containers took some time and then I walked 4 to the neighbors.  I'm keeping the last two to be sure all holds up.  Artemisia sometimes gives me a headache. 

I had a great phone visit with brother in law Dee. I miss the Georgia visits we once did each Thanksgiving.  But we'll make this do for now.  A Protein drink brought my body back to life and I spent some time at the sewing machine with the next ten burp cloths for Goodwill babies now tucked in with the 40 already finished.    

The afternoon was a total basketball afternoon.  Minn. the top team beat Los Vag. the second from the top in a great great entertaining game.  L.V is now third.  Then it was on to Chicago again the Fever.  Not as exciting but still entertaining.   I texted my Minn. friend during the first game and my Dahlia buddies and then my great Ohio friend who also follows any game she can find...Or so it seems.  We texted each other during the games we watch together.  

After all the ball was finished we walked down the path to our neighbors party.  Good food and good work putting together parts that will be used in Bills next African trips. providing clean water places where needed. Bill has done more than 75 trips abroad providing the necessary items and setting up systems.  Today's party is a thank you time for his supporters. 

So another good day to place on top of all the good days that have come before.  There have been many.

                                   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...

 Another good start to the day with my yummy yogurt, almonds, blueberries and coffee and the TV.  But not for long.  It was back to the beloved sweat shop with burps.  That's the go to when the need to do something else comes along.  It was the last 10 of the next 100.  They will be in my closet until nearer Christmas.  Some of the burps are Christmas themed.  There was additional ripping, then folding and finally ironing where need.  The pipeline is filled again with additional work ready willing and able to become more burps. Starting on another 100 leads to the next 100 a total equaling 2500 burps.   I worked on a sign to advertise the No Kings event of the day.  Joining a big group even though it is outside is not going to happen.  But I had an idea up my sleeve. It's that germ thing and the energy thing that will keep me close to home.   Then another late morning in the garden after the warmup.  I notic...
