Thursday

 Well, I woke up this morning,  with my mind...stayed on NOTHING.  Really NOTHING.  It was time for nothing.  And I just took nothing to really mean nothing. What ever came along I would be happy with. But there was nothing on my mind.  

So after the morning stuff I walked the garden and thought it might be time to snip all the Becky Daisy's that were telling me that the good life was over.  So I snipped the spent daisy's of which there were many.  But many were left and the second generation of daisy's seemed to be on their way to replacing the spent generation.  When the cart following me was full, I called it a snipping morning of success.

Neighbor Kathy walked over carrying a basket of vases that I'm filling for a party planned for their lawn area on Saturday.  It's always a pleasure to provide something from the garden for the yard party each year.

I checked out all the Dahlias and when the phone buzzed I took a look and found Dahlia pictures taken in Kathy's garden.  Humm.  I texted right back asking if I could do a real live check on her garden.  Yes.  So, off I went and experienced a wonderful garden walk in her great collection of Dahlias among other things.  Kathy has been a Dahlia grower for years and what I saw certainly made that clear to me.  We had tea on the porch and the words flew for a long time.  What a delightful visit happen when Nothing was planned.  I joked with Doug before leaving about about when I would appear again..  He thought he would see me at lunch.  I would say it was past the lunch hour before I saw him again.

So there was lunch and then a  bit of a nap of course.  Word work wears me out,  it would appear so. 

I thought about sewing...didn't happen.  I thought about knitting...didn't happen.  I thought about NOTHING...that happened.  I watched a Chip and Johanna hour.  Wrote the blog and started supper.  I must admit that supper is pretty easy these days.  My little tiny meals of many during the day keeping my innards happy continues at a successful pace and a bowl of salad for Doug takes less than 10 minutes...We were off to pick up Eric again.  Kat has planned busy days this week celebrating with Andrew's being home for a bit before school starts again. Andrew and Kat kept the car busy.  So we have another chance to visit with Eric as he moves north after work. 

The Fever play tonight but it's not televised.  Big bummer. There is the yearly football game at Canton, Ohio Football Hall of Fame televised.  Canton is my hometown.  I remember so well the excitement when the H of F was built.  So today I call this a nothing day.  Nothing planned, just what came along was the plan.  Tomorrow I'll be looking for fabric for another church banner project.  Now that's a big SOMETHING that will keep me busy for a while.  NOTHING  is sure to disappear in the days that will add up into weeks ahead.

Monday

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...

 It's 7 PM and 66 degrees maybe with a breeze off the lake.  Changed to long pants and a better jacket.  It's cloudy right now with a chance of rain tonight.  Most rains are not predicted so it's maybe yes and maybe no.  So what was today like.  Check what was posted for yesterday with  kayaking deleted. Read, slept, walked and played cards once again.  We had icecream at the Fort Store.  That was a first.   We played a couple of games of Kubb.  It's a great yard game that one can become proficient in quickly.  The WiFi is really slow for picture up loads so one will need to do.   Tonight the JB family will begin packing for home.  The camp kitchen will come down and tomorrow morning the tent will be next.  The hope is that they will leave the campground no later than 10 after their last pancake breakfast at our dining fly.  It's always a sad time but the plan is to do this all over again next year...

3 plus 1 = Jared...Dee.

 This morning...nothing different.  Cards and Pancakes with no rain and none promised.  That could change but so what.  A little rain never has stopped us from doing.   The first big bottle of syrup and the first bag of pancake mix is gone but there is more stashed away.  We never run out of breakfast fixings.  The second book is well on the way. I think it's the same for Doug.  I spent the afternoon with Natasha sitting on the deck and visiting with her mother Dorthy.  She is a great storyteller.  Natasha's dad is our potter friend Dennis.  Natasha is also a potter among many other things.  This is a picture of the shop.  A large deck behind the deck is a sweet place to visit and make new friends.   Today our church friends Jeanie and Neal arrived.  They will be here for 3 nights.  We'll do a little visiting later around the Jared Russell campfire giving them some ideas of what they might like to ...
