Swimming lessons in California sounds like a must. The 100's! To early for that. Chris you should get a hat with a flashlight. Walk at 00 dark. Much cooler then.
Rocky tilled the new garden some. Took out lots of rocks. Will amend later. Lots of compost and manure to add. Walked the dogs today. Then when shopping for supplies. Decided to make the new trellis identical to the existing one. New clematis is pink and red, double. I just love all the vertical flowering plants. I wish they were fragrant. Perfume? I could spray it on them.

Shelley, when Pat was walking with me we would get up and walk in the middle of the night. Dark makes me crazy, tho. He likes it because it's cool and breezy. Give me sunshine!! Not 100 degrees but cool sunshine.
Kathy, I'm with you...UGH!!! My weight has sky-rocketed! I am so bummed. Back on track today...sigh.
I'll be seeing my trainer at noon today. Should be a new workout.
Later, my friends
Chris0 -
Chris I used to jog in the dark. Footing could be dicey. But it was the only time I could.
Shelley0 -
Shelley - your gardens looks great! Can't wait to see them in bloom. I got all of my urns done Sunday and then of course a severe thunderstorm blew through. Story of my life lol!
I'm going to grab a sunrise yoga class at 7am this morning before work. I pushed back a call....feeling like I need it!
Karen1 -
Full body strength training workout at PF. Then went to park for a 3 mile walk.
Kathy0 -
Kathy great workout. Great for mind and body.
Karen thanks. I should take photos from the street. I understand your frustration over the storm. Two of my roses got caught in last weekend's late frost. Burnt the leaves!
Rocky helped me put up my new trellis. Decided it should be just like the other one. I like things to rhyme. We started to amend the soil. Lots of work there. Still need to move the little lace leaf peony. We had to order the border for pouring the edge. No one had it in town.
Our neighbor put a small lost dog in her home. Rocky listed it and within minutes the owner responded. The little guy crossed 2 busy streets to get to our homes. Lucky little guy. Some kind of miniature breed. Australian shepherd? Brightest blue eyes.
Have to check on my new clematis. Still has not shipped. Hmmm, what to do with a trellis and no clematis? Buy a new one.

Did 60 mins with my trainer this afternoon. Over 100 again today. I hope tomorrow morning is cooler. I need to walk!!
Chris0 -
Chris I hope you can get your walk in.
My mom and the rest of the family is over vivid now. Glad they are all in the clear. I went to a nursery after work. They did not have the clematis I ordered. But they did have a nice one. Now where will I put it? I will find a spot. Rocky grilled a buffalo tenderloin for dinner. With a sweet potato. Add some green beans and call it dinner. Yum.
I am sending prayers to all the victims and their loved ones in Texas. I know you are all doing the same.

Wednesday was a 45 minute swim lesson and 30 minutes treadmill at PF along with an abs workout.
Kathy0 -
Grabbed a few pics of my flowers yesterday....can't wait to see them when they fully bloom. Mom buys this fertilizer from QVC that she swears by....calls it her "magic elixir." It seems to really nourish the flowers. I'm excited about the herbs...basil, rosemary and sage!

I am heading to Atlanta for the long weekend. My BFF's youngest daughter is graduating high school. She's like a daughter to me. Will be nice to get away for a bit. Life has been stressful .
Will try to control myself with the food and drink!
Karen1 -
Water aerobics class - 60 minutes. Birthday lunch with my BFF.
Karen what part of Atlanta are you visiting…the city or the surrounding metro area? I can’t let one of my fitness sisters come to Atlanta without the possibly of a quick hello. I’m sure you will be very busy and honestly so is my weekend. But let me know if you have any time to possibly meet? I’m preparing for Punta Cana. Leaving Tuesday for my birthday trip.
Kathy1 -
Swim lesson - 45 minutes and walk - 60 minutes. Need to start packing for sure. Taking parents to Great-grandson’s all-star game tomorrow.
Kathy0 -
Shelley, my heart is broken for they folks in Texas. I have so many bad words for what happened. And so many questions as to how and why?
Karen your flowers are so pretty!!
Kathy and Karen, hope you guys can get together. Paula and I got together a long time back when she was close to me.
Got my walk in yesterday...6.36 miles in 125 mins. It was pretty outside...not too hot because I went out at 9:00 in the morning!!
Got to sleep until 8:00 this morning. The kids went to Disneyland for the weekend. Pics a bit scary for Grandma...crowd not wearing masks...ugh!! The kids promised to be very careful.
Going to see my trainer at noon today.
Chris1 -
Last swim lesson before vacation - 45 minutes, 60 minute walk.
Kathy0 -
Got 6.47 miles done in 121 mins in the very strong wind!! Beautiful day!
Chris0 -
I love the hibiscus the most Karen. Beautiful. Glad you had a great trip. Post some photos.
Kathy when I head that way it will be to see you. Got to meet at a beach. I will be the redhead in jeans and a large hat to keep from burning. You will be in a dress, sandals and kewl shades. I would know you anywhere.
Chris this covid strain isn't as bad. Wishing them all well.
Been busy gardening. Almost ready to pour the concrete edge for my newest garden bed. Going to Colorado tomorrow. Will be looking for anything fun for the garden. My daughter Sanara is coming. And 2 close friends.
Chris there will always be questions and finger pointing when tragedies like that happen. I just wish all schools would be on lockdown while in session. No one can stand up to an assault rifle. And police are reactive. We can't do anything until something has already happened. Check points at schools could help. I am sickened by all the pain that was caused.
Night all,
Hug your loved ones
Shelley0 -
Kathy - my friends live in Acworth, Georgia. Where are you? I have been on a such a whirlwind I didn't even think about it. I fly out tomorrow...would be so great to say!
We just hiked lake Allatoona...3.5 miles. Was great! I've certainly eaten enough....
Karen0 -
Didn't walk today. Made a grocery delivery order and waited for it to be delivered then sat down to read!! Will walk tomorrow. My trainer's daughter has tested positive for covid. My trainer tested negative, but I am not going tomorrow...maybe Wednesday, we'll see.
Chris1 -
Chris I would stay away for awhile also.
My daughter told me some disturbing news today. She said the news is reporting that law enforcement did little to stop that gunman in the school for a long period of time. I don't watch news much. Mainly due to all the negative crap on it. I am ashamed of anyone who would not run to the aid of others in need. My department has a number of veterans. We would run into enemy fire to save others. Especially children. I have been questioning what could of been their reasoning. I have no good answer. Not ones I want to be true. Scared? It sickens me. The flags on our sleeves fly backwards to signify that we run toward danger. Not stand idle by while evil is committed.
Shelley1 -
Shelley,
You are a natural warrior, protector, guardian.
paula0 -
Paula thanks for the kind words. It is raining here. So today I am inside. Staying dry and warm.
My son and his wife came by today. His daughter asked him to come to her graduation on the 11th. In North Carolina. Not even 2 weeks notice. They have rarely asked for our help with anything before. We bought them round trip tickets. I hope they have a good time. It will still be a hardship on them. But this should help a little.

First day in the Dominican Republic. Very busy travel day but everything went smoothly. Just got in from dinner. Going to have an early night and hit the beach and pool in the morning.

Shelley, what Paula said. I don't understand why they waited so long. It doesn't make sense.
Yesterday I did 7.27 miles in 140 mins. Today I set up the house for our housekeeper then sat and read and did nothing!! So fun!
Chris0 -
Arrived safely. Beautiful resort.

Kathy so beautiful. You are blessed to be able to spend so much time on the beach. I would be burned to a crisp. Charred. Enjoy.
Thank Chris. Such a horrible thing to happen. There is to many shootings. I am armed most of the time now. So sad.
Concrete colored and poured today. Finally stopped raining long enough. Took Libby on a bike ride.
Kathy I have not made my goal. 2 pounds to lose to reach one though. oops, got to go to June!
