Let's go to the Garden

Let's take a walk and see what nature has to show us today. Shall we ?

Mornings

My Sewing Room

 That is  my sewing machine, that my daughter gave me and it sews like a dream.  I have a tea towel

over it right now because believe me my house is very dusty.  I really enjoy my room.  It's a comfort and I am always changing it around.  You have to do that otherwise you will never find anything.  Am I right !?  I am always putting something away and can never remember where I put it but when I start moving things around  There it is !
I really have too much stuff and need to get busy at making something.  Tootles

Snow White

I got this at a Thrift Store, the poster that is was already framed.  This is one showing I don't believe I had the pleasure of watching.  I don't remember it anyway but I have to admit I really do love the poster.  It's very simple but bold and lets face it, That Apple is priceless.  What an idea !  Either the guy or gal, who picks these out didn't like the actors OR they have a brilliant mind.  So what's it going to be?  Who is raising their hand ?  Who is stepping forward ?  No one ?  I guess we have to draw our own conclusion.  Well, whoever did this, I like it.  Tootles

Looking over her Kingdom !

Edgar !

How about that Edgar !  He is taking it easy in one of my baskets and taking a nap.  What a cutie he is.  Although he is one of those cats you admire from afar.  We have had him since he was a little kitty but and I do mean BUT DO NOT PET him.  Maybe he will be nice and let you but chances are he will stop just in time before your arm and hand are dripping blood.  I don't know why he is that way.  I do know he has been in some close calls with some wild animals that do come around (coyotes) and I do provide a cat door so he can get inside when ever he wants but I think he gets too big for his britches and gets into these situations that it's not so easy to get out of.  So we spoil him when we can and do not touch him.

Okay, have I distracted you away from me going to the gym.  No I haven't gone back yet and yes I do plan on going back.  I'm just having a hard time doing just that.  I will, I know I will, for one I am still paying for it each month but not just for that.  I know it's something I should be doing just for my health.  I do but why am I not losing any weight or inches.  I have stayed the same whether I am going to the gym or not.  I do admit I feel stronger and of course I assume the muscles around my heart are getting stronger so I guess that is what I should be concentrating on.  Maybe it won't show but I will be doing a lot of good and lets face it that is what is important.  Wish me luck !  Tootles

No Gym ?! WHAT !!!

Okay, Okay, lets not go overboard.  No I have not gone to the gym for a couple of weeks.  We have had some things happen, like medical in the family and that's where I had to be.  It's all good now, Thank Heaven, and I plan on going back Monday.

I have kept up exercising, like using my right arm shoveling in food.  Ha !  It hasn't really been that bad but I sure have noticed it's getting a little soft in places that were pretty firm and I notice my energy level is not what it was.  So I have to say going to the gym has been wonderful and I can't wait to get back there.  It's just a good feeling knowing you are doing something for yourself and it's a good thing.

 Lemon water and lots of homemade vegetable soup, now that is the ticket.

It's refreshing and delicious.  I try to make soup at least once a week and have it for a couple of days.  It doesn't cost a lot and it's really good for you and so delicious.

Hey,  Jim and I were in Mendocino last weekend and I tried Buckwheat bread for the first time.  I have always stayed away from it as I thought it was full of wheat.  NOT the case. There is no wheat in Buckwheat !  Strange !  This bakery is amazing and when I ask if they still had any bread left (it was a crazy day and very busy, Plus their shelves were looking empty) she said they had Focasia and Buckwheat.  I took both.  They were delicious.

Now I am looking up recipes to make my own.  I haven't really checked in Chico Bakeries as just by chance they

might have some at one of them.  I doubt it but should have a positive thought and I'm sure they will.   Tootles
