Thursday

 Another interesting day with a lot of variety.  Super good sleep with wake ups but back to sleep without an hour or more long break.  That's just fine.  I watched a little Joe with the thought I need to make better use of my time. No new news seemed to be the order of the day. So I gave thirty burps their first go around on the sewing machine.  The machine told me it needed a break so I was off to church for a morning of finishing up for the weekend.  

It was Heidi, Laurel and I this morning.  Many loose ends got woven into the baptismal workshop on Saturday and Sunday.  I would say all is well and ready.  Darren ask that we be observers during both days so it seems I'll be a church lady on the weekend.  



I left church at 12:30 and headed to H H for another skein of yarn. Knitting Saturday and Sunday afternoon will be a filler for me.  

Then back home for lunch with the afternoon agenda being soup making  and of course crouton making.  It was chicken fresh vegetable soup with a lot of chopping.  We had that for supper with more in the refrigerator for another day.  

        Rescued from a summer on the picnic table.  Empty spots are covered with Hens and Chicks.                      Two succulents are leaning far over the side of the container.  We'll see how that works.                                                                                  So far, so good.

I ended the afternoon with knitting hoping to finish another scarf later this evening. The knitting I'm taking to church Saturday needs to be just simple knitting, not where it's a bit complicated with places I can drop stitches.  I hate it when that happens.

The delivery of protein drinks and cancer meds arrived at the door this afternoon and now all stored where I can access them easily. The beat goes on and I am grateful.  

And another day when the garden work didn't happen.  I made a trip around the garden but that was about it for today.  Oh, well.  Tomorrow is another day.  It just could still happen this week.  A friend is coming by one of these days to liberate a patch of Lenten Roses. I'll keep just a few plants. That's my new place for Dahlias next spring.  I'm a bit tired of seeing green for 12 months of the year also with hidden flowers in a bed just outside the kitchen window.  I spotted 5 caterpillars on the parsley pot near the patio late afternoon.  Some days they hide.  Some days they don't.  OR I'm just not looking in the right place with eyes that can't find them.

            Some Monday work with many things dug out while others are not still bringing interest.

So, I've been gifted with another enjoyable work day.  Although there was no rain, I'm reminded of the song...Showers of blessings.  I have had many showers.  I think they must be dry in feel.

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 ...
