    PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION: APRIL FLOWERS

I also do more 'barefoot' type workouts. such as pilates or barre in summer. Hubby's work schedule will change in May and we may be able to start going to...

    PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION: APRIL FLOWERS

    I woke up tired today, even though I think I slept well. I dug up some of the pathway and tried to lay down more of the stepping stones but I guess I’m not level-headed enough because they were all wonky. I got Hubby to fix them this evening when it got shady, while I weeded another bucket full...

    I weeded two buckets in the back today, dug up some of the pathway, and re-placed some of the stepping stones. Hubby’s stride is bigger than mine so I have to move them a bit. Its supposed to be cloudy tomorrow which may help the process. Its usually full shade in the back but the leaves haven’t...

    I'm way behind again. Hubby and I have worked in the yard together this weekend. We bought then laid down stepping stones in the backyard to make 3 paths.

    It rained last night and this morning but finally stopped. Poor April was outside hiding in her doghouse through some of it this morning. I let her outside then the sky opened up. My ankle is much better so I did premix 6-10 of Cathe's Imax 3, about 40min. The plane is a radio controlled...
