Friday

 Now here is some useful information.  It was Friday all day.  Well at least it was useful to me if it wasn't for you.  Every little bit of what ever it is...is helpful to me.  And the Fever crashed last night.  But I would say they have the game all they had.  There's always the next year. 


                                            The color intensifies at cooler weather comes.

Another good night of sleep.  That is after I got to sleep.  I'll take whatever I'm given.  The morning was all the usual stuff until I turned on the TV.  Humm.  Another Spectrum goof morning that lasted till the middle of the afternoon. I suspect more construction excuses.  I just love to hear someone talk.  That didn't happen. It was silent until I thought of Mozart and my iPhone in the afternoon.


                                        I found four munching away on the fennel.  

So the morning was quiet unless the sewing machine motor counts.  I sewed a lot with burps and turned the insides of the burps to the outsides.  It rained last night so I was putting off working in the garden.  I just didn't want to mess with a lot of wet stuff.  The garden is for another day.  


                This little guy on the Rue was about half an inch long.  I suspect a black Swallowtail.                                             There were more on the Rue.  I just couldn't get their picture. 

I've been watching a lady do a lot of crock pot cooking on Facebook.  She's crazy but what she makes really looks good. The tomato soup makings came from her.  I was inspired to do something with the crockpot today and I did.  There's soup for tonight cooking all day long.  At this writing some is ready for the freezer and some for supper.  And that reminds me that I emptied the freezer of some unmarked somethings from last winter.  So we're starting all over again with fresh somethings.  Yes. marking and dating would be a good thing.

                Here is the Parsley muncher. Three plants necessary supporting Swallowtail eggs. 

Doug made a trip to the dentist after lunch.  When he returned I was off to Goodwill again being fresh out of flannel.  The first stop revealed a great fleece for four more little baby floor blankets.  Then off to the second Goodwill where I found six flannels but I left three on the rack.  They were a bit faded.  So three flannel sheets came home with me.  Seventy burps are cut and in the process and there will be more than enough flannel to get to the next one hundred maybe next week. 


                                                        A prolific dahlia plant.

Yes, it seems that Swallowtail caterpillars are everywhere.  Last year I wintered over 12 chrysalises.  One  one hatched deformed and the others did not hatch.  I'm letting nature do her thing this year.

So it was another busy day.  Busy is what I like keeping me in the loop of thinking.

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 ...
