Tuesday

 It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Won't you be my neighbor!  Yes...It's been a good day.

Up early and knitting happened until my hand went numb and my arm felt a few electrical shocks. (nerves) But other than that with a rest everything returned to sort of normal.  I had a great discussion with PT Diana about the PT road ahead at the afternoon session. More visits were added.

                                        The magic the sun brings to a late September afternoon 


The rest of the morning was listening to the Jack Smith hearing.  And with all of that I did a lot of ripping and folding flannel fabric.  So the world continues to turn around a few things.  I'm ready to go with more sewing but not today for sure.  There were other things on the docket. 

Doug got a hair/beard cut.  Hooray!  That was his big day event out.

 

        Two zinnias, one on the way in and one on the way out.  The butterflies like both of them.                                                                                                 So should we.

The afternoon brought another session with PT Diana.  And did she work.  I mentioned Michael's hands and her work was even more painful and firmer than Michael's.  A family jingle has been no pain no gain!  Today's session was even LONGER. A total 60 minutes. I've had difficulty turning my head to the left for years. Surgery helped that to happen.  The muscles are very tight.  Woo.  Big surprise.  Driving home there was a major head turning to the left or east at a round about.  What a surprise making me think my neck was similar to an Owl's neck.  Woo.  No pain and all turn.  I didn't know that simple neck movement could come back.  Out, Out. bad muscles and scar tissue.  I'm done with you.  Now the trick is to keep it that way. That's where the exercises will help. There is still more to work to do.  

                                    Where will the wind take these seeds?  No one knows.

I picked flowers for Diana and took them back to the I U rehab.  She earned even more but that was today's thank you for her healing hand work. Blessings on those who can help us gain body strength and flexibility. Theirs is truly a gift to us.

                                                The best year yet.  Three big blooms.


There is still garden clean up to do which will happen again after supper.  Then Doug will cart all the B Blues to the street for the Wednesday trucks.

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 ...
