Another Wednesday

Another Wed. The garden is beautiful although last night there was frost. Bummer. I did manage to get most fragil things covered. From now on we should be good to go. We are having a wonderful spring. Monday Joe and I did a change out of banners, etc. at church. Easter banners are put away. The next big change over is Pentecost, then comes Trinity Sunday and then we're in to the lazy days of summer. I repaired another banner and it's back in the closet.
Friend Andrea had a wonderful luncheon yesterday with at least 30 of her friends. What fun.

I shopped a bit for plants on the south side. Didn't find anything that was different than what I have. I'm just anxious to get back in the dirt which should happen this afternoon. We have plenty of rain over the weekend and should have more this weekend although not so much. That's just fine.

Handbells are tonight, Soup Kitchen tomorrow and Choir tomorrow night. It's just the same old same old. Saturday I have a meeting with all the groups that work at Bread and Bowl during the month.

Wed at church

This morning is my volunteer work at the front desk at church. All kinds of interesting questions come across to me. The weather has been perfect. It reminds me of the weather we have camping. Cool days with low humidity. The sun is so gentle. The potatoes are up. I'm thinking about planting corn and beans. Cabbage and peppers are ready to transplant. I hope we can use some of this stuff at the soup kitchen. The flowerbeds look wonderful. I planted petunias yesterday and then dreamed that it snowed last night. It 's a risk and we'll see if it's a good one or a bad one. I'm still checking on deer visits. They have been less and less. Perhaps they have finished cruising. Tonight is bell practice. Tomorrow is soup kitchen day and then choir as usual.

Sunday Eve.

Goodness almost a week has slipped away. The weather has been beautiful so it's out in the flowerbeds getting things spruced up. There are so many perennials up. Such fun to see what's going to hop out of the ground in the spring. Last summer I cleaned out most of the daylily bed. It was almost a dud at that point. I did keep one on each end of that bed but filled in with some new plants. All but one made it through the winter. I've added more from other beds and it's time to edge the bed which I didn't do much of last summer. I'll add some annuals to keep the color going. Five beds are finished and ready to go and there are three more that need work. One of the three is going to be closed down to ivy and hostas only. Wooo...there are a lot of flowerbeds when I stop and think about it. My knee is holding it's own for most of the time. Yahoo. Yesterday we went to Noah's first birthday party. Andrew is just precious and polite right along with Noah. It was a fun afternoon seeing them play in their home setting. Food was good. Tomorrow Doug is getting his left eye lasered. The right one came through in great shape. I hope for his sake the eye problems now have been eliminated. His cataracts grew back fast and furious. That happens for some eyes and Doug had it happen to him. Tomorrow I hope to work outside again. It's such satisfying work to see things in good shape again. It helps to have the deer eating somewhere else as well. They did love the asparagus.

Monday Morning

The town is going crazy with the Butler Bulldog Team. Check out Indystar.com for all the news. Tonight's the night. Easter Sunday was a busy one. Saw lots of people at church. I made a decision not to be in the choir yesterday but stay with Hospitality. That was a smart move. I certainly slept for a whole bunch of hours in the afternoon and woke up at 6:45 this morning. That's an all time long "winter's" nap for me. Yesterday I decided to hit the road early today and do a grand put away at church this morning. You know...get it done. Now I think it can wait for a few days. A break would be good. Maybe Wed. This morning it's another three month check up with the doc. Thank goodness for phone reminders. I had it on my calendar for the 12th. Tomorrow I'm meeting my old retired teacher friends for lunch at Muldoons. We haven't gotten together all winter. Two of them travel during the winter months. The weather has been wonderful. I might get to the flowerbeds again for an hr. or so this afternoon. So tonight it's GO DAWGS. That's Butler DAWGS.

Go Butler

The town is going nuts over the Final Four. Hope all goes well for Butler. It's been a fun run. Big morning at church getting ready for Easter. I see no reason to worry about the morning. I think it's all in hand. I bought lots of flowers yesterday and delivered them to church. The banners have been selected and now it's just a lots of hanging morning. And...tonight at 6 we'll be in front of the TV with the idea that Butler will beat Michigan State. That's the plan. Go Butler.

Wed.

Life is moving right along. I think I'm in pretty good shape for the rest of the week. That's a big YAHOO for sure. Tomorrow is soup kitchen and the rest of the week can just happen. 90% of my preparation is finished. The weather is really warm today. Indy is ready for the NCAA games. Butler is going crazy which is fun to see on the little 4000 less student body. I finished a quilt top yesterday and this morning cut out another one. The sewing machine is calling!!!!

Holy Week

Yes...this is Holy Week. One of my least favorite weeks because it seems like there are to many people spinning out of control at church which impacts my life. It's the same every year. I told the staff that they need an assigned Nanny to see that all the details that they want to happen are known well in advance of their service. Someone who can keep track of the big picture holding them accountable. It's not going to happen but it's a suggestion. Palm Sun. is done and now three more to go. I worked today for 3 hrs putting away Palm Sun and some things are finished for the Thursday service. Friday's will me simple and Sat. we'll bring in the big stuff. Lots of flower shopping on Thursday and Friday for Sun morning. Tomorrow as well as every day of this week I will need to spend some time working ahead. The weather has been beautiful and will even get better. I spent 2 hrs. at Goodwill this afternoon and my summer clothes are well in hand. 45 bucks bought a whole bunch of stuff including a few little things for Eli. I need to get them in the mail. We went to Steak and Shake for Supper today. I've shortened my new pants. I'm ready to watch the ladies play basketball. Go Butler!!!!!
