Well, welcome back, @artist01. I've missed you, too. So, congratulation on getting up and walking. Sounds to me like you took some important steps and got started getting stronger! Praises to you...I'm not doing as well as you on that score. And, feeling it....it doesn't take much or long to set us back in our conditioning...I seem to lose my strength really fast, so I need to follow your lead and get out tomorrow. I'm going to Mayo....of course!..in the afternoon for a sleep dept visit and to follow-up on my breathing questions. Glad for this visit. I seem to be breathing well at night with my bi-pap, but during the day it's staying in the very low 90's....not where it needs to be....so, tomorrow, I'll get advice and also take some walks through the buildings, inside. It's been in the high 80's and quite humid his week and I can't do that outside thing, so this will be perfect.

I'll get some goodies, yogurt parfaits w/berries, and such...for breakfasts for a couple days while there. Then, I'm stopping at Lowe's for a sprinkler timer for the front and 1 for my new watering system on the patio I get tomorrow. Then, my favorite garden place for some flowers. My yucky cute squirrels have eaten the roots of the hanging baskets I had that gave me sooooo much pleasure and color. They also love to sit in the middle of the basket and flowers to eat nuts/seeds or just mess around.

Yesterday I didn't remember the names of the little sweet black headed birds who visit me often, all year. Chick-a-dee! I love them. So cute and fun to watch. They go from feeder to feeder, trying them all out. The huge blue-jay was back today, so I think he's found a new semi-permanent home base w/good seed. Woodypeckers, cardinals, some of the male cardinals are turning red now, Still searching for the names of some other brown birds.

Going online now to learn how to zoom in on my phone camera so I can get good pics for you. I took some yesterday, will send but want to show you close-ups of my friends. Will learn that too....
bless each of you today, tonight with peace and healing rest. elizabeth
