@rosemarya I had a looong walk today - over 4 miles and over 1 hour - spent part of the time chatting with my winter walking buddies. Remembered to take a bottle of water - stashed it in my sling, and it kept my hand cool until I drank it. Tomorrow will be a quick walk between calls and appts, then Saturday my friend comes across town for a hike by the creek and takeout from our local burrito place. Has my mouth watering, planning what I'll be ordering. Simple pleasures.
Just finished a lovely patio visit with my friend, scoping out her plants that have been 'resting' in my garden for a year and helping plan the gardens in her new yard. And she was admiring all the changes I made before surgery - of course, we had to pause and pull a few weeds.

@rosemarya I didn't get outside but I did walk in here 6 floors and some more it just feels good to walk and other exercises . Yes you will have a good night sleep ,me too

@rosemmarya, Always think double stars are added when we have to give ourselves an extra push to get started on something we'd rather delay. Good for you for taking that walk today! Yup, I also walked early and then dug, composted and transplanted some liriope.

@rosemarya This morning i was out chopping blackberry vines and dead madrone. The large cart my husband fashioned for me took off down the hill, even after I blocked a wheel. How dare it! Down the hill, staying on the sidewalk til hitting the corner, then off into gutter and spill contents. It's a dead end street, so no issue of getting into traffic. What to do? Make lemonade! Uprighted the cart and continued my chopping down there. It was already 1.5 hrs into my 2 hr shift limit. Boy, was it a long and steep hike back up. More gutter cleanup and weeding tomorrow in the early morning coolness.
