Friday

 

                                      Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves.

The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.

            Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                                                     I'm happy to save a chair for whom ever wants to occupy it.  

The morning brought some cooler weather so I waited till the temperature was a little more to my liking to take the leap to the outside.  The hedge trimmer came out and all of the Hosta's that were heat beaten got their fall leaf trim.  I fed the B Blue.

Not to far in the future, the ornamental grasses will be no more.  That's sad but if left for spring, they turn brittle during the winter and spread themselves hither and yon. It's a mess for sure.


                                     A first time Dahlia bloomer. They come in all sizes and shapes.

There was way to much chair time this morning so off to the Y was the order I heard in my head.  A mile in 30 minutes and 10 more minutes on the Nu Step.  I think that's enough exercise for two days.  Woo.  They Y was almost empty and that's the way I like it.  2 pm made that happen.  I was surrounded by sleepy old men!  


                                        A unique find around the old maple tree stump.

That Y trip included first a Goodwill stop OF COURSE!  No sheets would work but I did find a light weight fleece top for me.  It's GREEN.  Really GREEN.  Something different for sure.  I'm thinking really cold winter right now.  Medicine and snow sometimes makes the body colder than usual.. And Doug likes the house cool in the winter so I'm getting ready for that.

The rest of the day was filled with visiting with neighbor Rachel and daughter.  Some burp ironing happened There was more yard clean up with more to come. Supper happened and the rest of the day was planned to be spent in the chair or something close to that. There are more WNBA games tonight. Woo.  Busy day with more to come.

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 ...
