This Weekend on W.4th Street

Not much has changed from last week to this week, and actually last weekend seems a bit more sunny...what's up with that? Today is suppose to be beautiful though, and I plan to do it up right with the first cookout of the season. Bought a new grill and everything, just have to put it together now...then sit and enjoy the sunshine . I just can't believe that this tree hasn't even got a bud on it yet. Well, enjoy your weekend!

Spring Update

Here's this week's view of Spring! (Click on the pic and see all the colors in all their glory) As I predicted...no leaves yet, but the sun is shining the world looks brighter, the grass looks greener. No buds yet either! Now, we had a bunch of rain this past week so that ought to kick things off real nice. Oh and all the daffodils are in bloom across the street! I don't have any flowers in my yard yet, but soon...very very soon. First I have to get out there and rake up all the dead leaves...I think I'll start a compost pile somewhere! All those dead leaves and my morning coffee grinds would be great! My neighbor is planning a vegie garden out back, won't that be nice to have fresh veggies and to freeze some for the fall and winter months?

Exercise for Life!

You would think that simple stretches would be easy...wouldn't ya? well, let me tell you...when you don't do them regularly and then you attempt to get in shape....just the easiest, simplest stretches take a toll on the body at my age! I just don't understand it! Back in the day I could be running all day and all night long..climbing trees, swimming, running as a child, then dancing til the wee hours of the night, and let's not forget...I'll those crazy positions you could bend your body into...NOW!!!! Now, my legs hurt, my feet are sore, my back is thumping all from some tiny hamstring stretches! OMG! So, I'm going to Physical Therapy, and "SHE" gave me just a few little stretches to start out with 2 times a day...nothing much...but I'm in so much pain...using muscles that I totally forgot I had! It's insane!
