Spam, mittens and a perch

Finally got out to the garden yesterday morning as the temp was only 87and the sun had not filled the garden yet. I managed to sweep most of the debris and rake back the rocks around the fountain. Since the leak  issued is solved it was time to do so. I even trimmed a little but all of that is on the ground drying out and this weekend I will try to finish. Meantime, the hummer has found a new place to perch....

This are the bells that Bobby and Dianna gave me last Christmas and it hangs in the lanai. A couple of times when the breeze caught it and it swayed, the little guy had to hang on! As hot as it is, the lanai is just a bit cooler than the garden but more importantly it is all shade.
The question I have.... how do I keep a regular email out of the Spam folder?! The last couple of days my emails from DebbieB have been going into that folder. We email everyday and this is the first time it is happening and I have no idea how to correct it. So, now some of my emails are going to outer space...unable to deliver…and some emails are coming in the Spam folder. Last week Dave came across the courtyard to re-boot the router and at least my tablet is running better, and now I will make it  monthly maintenance to do.

As you can see, I have worked on Santa and his burro. He now has mittens and I am adding the beads as I go along. I am loving this project! More on the burro today.
I have the star fabric strips ready to press and then weave also for today...keeping busy since outdoors is out of the question. Vicki and I were to meet this week for lunch but she is not feeling well so that is on hold. I am of now to create....
Glad to chat with you. Thank you for your kind words ad for your friendship.

And just like that.....

The week is at it's end just like that. Seems the days get lost and time just keeps moving ahead. Today is beginning cloudy again and cooler. The weather is suppose to be in the 70s all week but ending near 90 on Friday. Crazy temps..... lots of clouds but it is okay.

This is the new Dove couple that has been hanging around. Never see them except early morning and early evening. Guess they are still deciding whether to move in  or not. In the next day or two I will check the nest area.
I forgot to show you my Guardian Angel Bell

It hangs off the zipper of my handbag and tingles as I walk. My companion is the Garden Gnome. It is from the same company that the Buoy Bell is from. I plan on getting a few to give as gifts.
I sat outside having tea with Glenda yesterday. She and Don are truly dear friends..... I would be lost without them. these past  months have been made easier with their caring friendship.
I was out on the lanai most of the day reading.....

I am enjoying the Sherlock Holmes FAQ book. Leaning a lot about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The other is my diary... book 2 for me. I jot my thoughts daily in it. I started just after loosing Denny and it does help me cope most of the time. Did you notice the book mark? It is a piece of raw hide with some beads and a feather. I love feathers so this is perfect. When The Brother Alan Lisa and I went to the Botanical Garden I came across

a soft bright white tiny feather clinging to a branch. To me it was a sign that Denny was with us that day as he loved going to the garden.
"Feathers appear when Angels are near...
Coming across a feather in your path, or finding a feather in an unexpected place is thought to be a message from the Angels. White: this is the most common Angel feather, and is thought to be a sign of faith and protection."
Did I ever tell you that I am very superstitious?
Well I do not hear the tumble of the dryer so my laundry is waiting for me ....once again the Faeries are not around. I think I better start looking for them! Glad to chat with you today and share my thoughts and doings. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.
