Wednesday

 


                                                            A few blooms are hanging on.


Today was a gang buster day when it came to burps.  The hammer came down and now there are seventy burps in the container. I started the day with 10.  I'm ALL out of flannel so until I find some everything is on hold.  I've used up every little scrap left over from some other burp project.  Ginny should have plenty but something started needs to end up finished.  Tomorrow on my way home from church I hope to remember to look at other stores that usually come through.  The usual places are not stocked with flannel sheets.  

                                    The patio garden is looking a bit organized and ready for spring.

And speaking about tomorrow.  I have a date with grandson Noah.  He needs to do some volunteer work for school credit and we'll be on our way to church to learn all about Bread and Bowl.  He will work for 2 hours and then his second job is setting up for handbell playing Sunday.  He'll be busy as well as me!  I want to find a few new things that we'll need for Advent. It never hurts to start early to avoid hopefully some bumps in the road so to speak.  Our next big work day is Tuesday for All Saints Sunday.  It always brings a crowd of folks.  After that is the Hamilton Sunday, along with once again a great fall arrangement on the altar for three weeks. Then what seems like hundreds of nativities are placed everywhere leading up to  the first Sunday of Advent.  We are busy.

Tonight I'm taking it easy.  I started knitting but then stopped.  That can happen another day. 

        I love this old maple tree stump in the patio garden.  More area cleaned up and ready to go.                                    Cannas and Dahlias still all in their places until frost. Other flowers are gone.
 

The afternoon was filled with garden work.  The hedge trimmers was busy filling once again empty B Blues.  But not empty for long.  Raking happened and then more clipping which will be contributed to the B Blues on Friday if not before. One huge stand of grass remains today with a few other things.

Supper happened and I made a stop at Beth G's for some donated ribbon.  More to add to the church collection.  So the day was full of this and that.  The weather continues to be just beautiful and promises to stay that way for a while.

 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.                ...
