On the Go

Yesterday I felt like "Where's Waldo and what's he on?" I was here, there, and everywhere beginning w/Mass, volunteering short while at rectory, home to eat breakfast, then off to run errands (bank, grocery store, neighborhood nursery, etc.),  went by see Vicki and Joe's great new stove, picked up an ordered item, stopped back by the rectory, came home, pulled some weeds from the East pathway (squatting/kneeling/keeping back straight), emptied all the wood blocks out of my garden cart into the trash bin (all weighing less than 25 lbs per trip), visited w/family on the phone, did 2 loads of laundry, swept the tile floors/spot mopped, watched DWTS, and called it a day/night about 11:00pm.

Today  Off to Mass this AM, volunteer at rectory, then home to putz some more. Still another chilly, cloudy day in the forecast. Thinking of doing some minor shrub/ornamental grass pruning/cutting. I am still doing well, feel better each day and glad I had my back "fixed."   Making a list of "To Do" things for the end of April when I am officially released to begin gardening.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Same Song

Mass this AM, ran errands, home to putz and try to stay warm.  Wet, overcast, chilly at 41 degrees. That is pretty much the forecast for the rest of the week. 

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Brrrrrrrr !!!

Volunteering at Chancery this AM, Mass at noon, run errands, and then home to start another week.

Supposed to be an overcast chilly day. Thirty-two degrees at present and of course still dark. We were all up too early this AM----someone was hungry and being a cry baby----(Not me).

Stay healthy, safe and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Where is Spring?

Thirty-six degrees and rainy most of yesterday. Went to Mass in the AM and "chilled"out the rest of the day. Was cold clear into my bones and really made my muscles stiff.  Did laundry/dishes and then just took it easy in front of the fireplace most of the day w/the "boys."

Thirty-two degrees this AM. I hope I did not set the clocks so far ahead on the 13th that I passed up summer and am into the next winter. Plan to go to Mass this AM, do some reading, and watch TV by the fireplace this evening w/the "boys."  If anyone finds Spring---please bring some here.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Yesterday

Yesterday:
Mass in AM, took a walk in PM, removed all the elastic shoe strings from my shoes (can now lift leg to put on and tie shoes w/o discomfort), made some soup for the weekend, Stations of the Cross in the evening, fell asleep in recliner while reading in the evening w/"boys" in front of fireplace.

Also, throw in some some nursery shopping. Bought some sunshade, 5 Sienna Sunrise Nandina shrubs (described as Green, Burgundy/Red/Purple, Good Fall Color), and 8 pots of herbs (parsley and rosemary). Getting ready for the end of April when  I can garden again. Plan to put the herbs in a container on the deck. 

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Sun Shining

Sun shining, cool but sun shining. Everything is getting greener by the day---trees/flowers budding and blooming.  Back field full of deer, neighborhood cats, and barking dogs in the back yard. Mass this AM, then off to run errands. 

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom
