Wednesday

 What a strange day.  I'm thinking weather.  I wanted to keep the warm inside instead of letting in the cold.  Strange for August, I would say.  Then there were the rain storms with thunder and rain down pours just like when we receive hurricane rain from the south.  There was a lot of that for sure.  So it was a pretty much an inside day.  The lawn guys didn't come.  Garbage pick up was early. It certainly was just a different kind of summer day.

So what was I up to.  I would say I was at the sewing machine for the whole day.  And the first part of many parts has been complete.  How many parts to come?  I haven't counted. When I'm finished and the banners are at church, I'll know.  I'm happy to say that I'm on the way.  Sometimes starting is the hardest part.  Now if I didn't like to do this kind of project , I might be complaining.  But working with fabric and just letting the pattern come as it will is fun for me.  I must admit pattern following drives me nuts trying to create something that someone else did, especially if it's complicated. So it was a colorful day with red, green, blue, black, yellow and white fabric.  That's my kind of world. 

Between the rain storms Doug picked up sticks and leaves and other stuff in the lawn.  He always does that for the lawn guys.  He might need to do that again tomorrow morning.  I suspect the mowers will be back then.  Doug also did a pharmacy run between rain showers. 

The bird visitor today was the hummingbird.  There were so many visits to the feeder making me think that the cooler weather today made him think of migration.  I will admit I couldn't read what he was thinking...that is if birds think.  

I called a cousin hearing about his adjusting to a lot of different cancers.  I don't think I've talked to him for 20 years.  I was a baby sitter for he and his five siblings when I was about 13 years old.  The three boys are scattered all over the states.  The three girls still live where they grew up.  Five of them have had some form of cancer. That seems so unusual.  Maybe not. It just makes me wonder. 

And for the record.  Today in 1967 we said I do which has brought a wonderful life together.  

The Fever won last night.  I think their next  game is Friday.  Football in America is tomorrow evening.  I'm looking for more WNBA tonight somewhere in these USA.

                                   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...
