Cathy, I do not care for trying to keep a plant from taking over everything. Pulling out ferns would be a lot of work. One of our houses had so many different plants growing over each other and vining stuff that climbed up the trees and shrubs that I spent hours trying to pull out and stop from growing. The yard and planters were huge. Then our last house had bamboo trying to take over. I finally got it stopped, but had to dig and cut the roots and put some stump killer on them. Lily of the valley and violets would be nice and the smell is wonderful. I cut my hydrangea back more this year and it seems to be doing wonderfully. Last year I tried trimming like the instructions say for the endless summer variety with old wood and it kept dead areas and just did not grow much. I think I should have trimmed back the rose bushes more than I did as they are 3/4 of the way up the fence. They require a lot of work keeping the thirps off and the dead roses trimmed off. They are loaded with flowers right now. I still have more mulching I need to do.
Carolyn, nice work on Stacked sets lower body today. We are having off and on rain showers here. I did not know there was a tornado warning till it had turned into a tornado watch last night. I guess my husband was monitoring at work though. I was busy trying to get my computer to let me clear cache and history. It did an update and things were not working right. It ended up that I had to go in and allow cookies. Microsoft Edge would not let me log in. Frustrating, but I got it worked out. It took up too much of my evening though.
Valerie, I am glad the fabric bands are working for you and that you like them. I use mine more than the latex ones. The bad thing about relying on digital copies is you never know when you are going to lose it all. My books are in Kindle and if anything goes wrong there I would lose those like I lost my Sony purchased books. I still have some cookbooks in iTunes, but only seem to be able to get them off the really old pads. I typed up some favorite recipes off the iPad to be sure I still have them.
Nice that you got in a good ride on the trails today.
I have done lots of varieties of yoga. Many stretch workouts are yoga moves. Chris of CDorner usually calls hers stretch and mobility because she says when you say yoga some people have an idea of yoga as something they do not want to do. I enjoy a lot of hers as there is some nice background music, and different types of work. Todays was meant to be a good slower more relaxed stretch. She told someone that said they were going to go do another workout and she said not to that type of stretching before a workout. I usually am not fond of the cardio yoga which moves a bit too fast trying to move through balances and lunges and that sort of thing. A nice flow is good though.
