My DH called me at 8am to ask if I wanted to go for a walk when he got home from work. Sure, I said, trying to be cheery, even though he had awakened me from a strange dream. My plan was to get back on track with diet and exercise today, so that was great timing. I put on some jeans that were less than clean, pulled my hair back in a pony tail, slipped on a t-shirt and sweatshirt and waited for his arrival. Shortly after he got home, I was checking out Yoville (almost have enough coin to buy my Cape Cod) when DH made a disgusted noise...he was trying to put my shoes on. You see, my feet are big and so we get our shoes mixed up easily. Anyway, we got our walking shoes on and away we went. It was cold...32 degrees! It was good to get out and walk...I have had so many things going on the last couple weeks that I have really ignored good eating habits and exercise has only been hit or miss. We were walking under the railroad underpass (highline as they call it here) and spotted a tiny little white mouse! He looked like someone's pet. He didn't look underfed, but I wanted to go to every house and ask if anyone had lost a mouse. You just don't see white mice out in the wild like that! I am still thinking of the little guy and hoping that he hasn't become anyone's lunch! We had a good long walk, although it wasn't as vigorous as it should have been. Stopped by the bike shop and when we got home we took our bikes over to have Spring maintenance done. Last year we didn't ride at all, this year, we just have to. DH took a new bike for a test drive, but decided to wait. It seems to be warming up, maybe I can get some outside work done. First priority has to be cleaning out my car and filling it back up with work junk that is sitting on the porch.
I got up this morning and took a walk. We went out for a light breakfast before heading home. I have been doing my flower gardening in stages. I love having flowers, but I am too lazy to do a lot of gardening so I did it in steps: Cut back dead growth from last year Attacked the weed-vine that invades everything in our small back yard. Attacked the weed - vine again...and again...finally found some of its roots and dug them out...that was no small task Put down some bags of garden soil...more exercise...they were heavy Put up a wooden border to keep the dirt away from the grass Today I finally planted my Iris', lilies, and Aquilegia Took a break to write my blog I want my flower garden to be all Perennials so each year I will have a beautiful display without much work. The hardest part will be keeping the invading weeds out!! Time for a shower!! Stay healthy and enjoy the weather!!
Nice flower pics..i have never been to Longwood...will have to get there someday! Thanks for sharing the beauty! It makes me hopeful that spring is near!
