Thursday

The third of three WNBA games is tonight.  Go Fever.  We have got to do it.  I act like I know how to do it.  That's a joke!  I don't but I can cheer.  I'm sure Nancy and I will be texting often tonight.  


Woo.  The change in dosage in Thyroid medicine has made a dramatic change in my get up and go.  What was once a plodding drag through out the day is no more.  I feel more like I did at least six months ago. It took a while for this to appear again but it's here. 


     Not many of these left.  It wasn't a very good big zinnia summer for the garden.  Maybe next year.

This morning a sleep till almost seven.  Breakfast happened and once again the sewing machine was turned on to finish the last four floor blankets for new born babies.  Then it was on to the burps putting together front and back pieces of fabric for 70 spit up burps.  Then a little knitting happened.  Then came just a little sewing 10 burps together.  The first of two sews for each burp.  

Then it was out to the garden to see what there was to see.  The B Blue and the garden cart came out  landing at the herb garden.  And the work began with the shovel.  Verbena did a great job at seeding themselves growing huge root balls. They seem to be a butterfly favorite.  It took the shovel to loosen them.  All the annual plants that would be killed by frost were removed filling to over flowing one B. Blue.  It really smelled great with all the Basil and Stevia.  So that bed is finished now ready for winter.  The perennial herbs will be back next year filling much of the space. I was bushed and hungry.  


                                                                It's looking pretty bare!

Lunch time and time to cool off.  I was HOT!  There was a short nap. I spent time in the chair trimming and turning those sewn 10 burps turning them to the right side out.  By then it was 2 pm and I was off to looking for more fabric for the Goodwill baby blankets as well as a stop at the drugstore.  At 3 it was time for another PT and an evaluation of what good things have happened along with what more needed to happen to get nerves working like they should.  A lot of good has come from these sessions.  There were new directives to add to the home work I already have. 


                                                                            More to do!

When home again I started working on the new fleece blanket purchased for 4 bucks cutting it into four smaller blankets baby size.  It's hard to resist a pretty fleece a mother would like for her baby.


                                Even more to do. The cannas and dahlias will wait till after frost.                                                                                             Next week should be cooler.

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 ...
