Tuesday

 Today was a simple day.  It reminds me of sing me a simple song.  Just thinking...I don't hear the word simple used very often.  We usually have days filled and crammed full of things to do.  So, having a simple describe the day should be included with those days that are not so simple.  Sounds healthy to me.  

                                            A supper treat for the eyes! The colors are perfect.

Simple started with a great wake up, breakfast and then a bit of knitting.  Not much but just a bit.  After that I started working on the 50 some burps that were torn yesterday and ready for the first sew around on the machine.  Then came the trimming and turning from inside to outside.  On to the ironing board and then the last sewing.  Folding came next and the burp made it into the container holding now 60 completed burps.  The flannel sheet need is most apparent if more burps are added to the stash.  In the mean time I can rip cotton sheets that are used on one side of the burp.  Donations coming from friends have filled that need right now.

                                            Burps waiting to be finished.  That could happen tomorrow. 

But in between the first part and the last part of burp making I headed south to the Y.  It was time to leave the chair.  Way over time to get the body moving on the treadmill with music in my ear. Woo.  It was a bit of a shock when believing that some of my tired was left over from yesterday's garden work.  I must admit I'm not surprised about possibility at all. The body doesn't snap back like it did a few years ago.

Of course I stopped at Goodwill on the way home and found nothing that would help me.  I will say there was a lot to choose from with plenty of shoppers.  Just nothing that worked for me.

The almost last of the Dahlias along with the Michigan Grandsons.  They are not part of the almost last. 

The weather again proved to be a great fall day of low humidity and everything else that goes with that.  Dahlia flowers were cut once again and the vase were filled again later in the day.   Supper was left overs from yesterday.  I must admit thank goodness, it wasn't soup or salad.  Just a good tasty hot meal worthy of being reheated.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  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.                ...
