My Very Own Walk-A-Thon Machine

April 13, 2014

Good morning.  It's a bit cloudy outside at the moment, but the weather man promises us a sunny day with temps in the mid 60'sF.  Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer.  I hope so because I want to get my new planters set up with flowers. 

Plus, I want to go back to the Garden Center and buy a lilac bush.  At my last house, I had so many beautiful lilacs in both purple and white.  I miss them so.  I also had a mock orange bush at one time, and it smelled so sweet.  Hopefully, I can get another one.

Friday I gave Dee Dee a glass planter filled with light purple tulips.  They are so beautiful and she can plant the bulbs in her garden after the blooms have gone by.  Here's a photo of these beauties.

She went with me Friday to pick up my new Walk-A-Thon machine.  Now I will be able to walk a little bit every day, even when it is raining.  (That's supposed to be a bit of humor.)  SIL Eddie brought it in the house for me, and hopefully he'll come back soon and set it up.  I tried to do it myself, but the darn thing is too heavy for me to lift.  I took this photo from the cover on the box.

 

 

There are no special frills on this contraption, just the basics.  I'm just wondering if this gadget can make my body look like this one again.  What do you think?  Hmmm? 

Did anyone notice that gorgeous moon yesterday evening?  When I got to work, the moon was just sitting up there in the sky looking so beautiful, so of course I had to take some photos.

The pink afghan that I am working on is almost finished.  It needs less than twenty more rows and I can start the next one.  However, it is too big to take to work with me now, so last night I took the yarn for the new green afghan and got that one started.  I was going to use a different pattern, but after tearing everything out twice, I decided to use the same pattern as the pink afghan.  I can work on this one at work and the pink one at home.

Yesterday, Joe cleaned out most of the garden areas, so we'll be able to plant the new bulbs and flowers this week.  He also cleared a big area where we can plant a lot of wildflower seeds.  I may even pick up a few hostas for that same area. 

There are little green leaves coming on my rose bushes, so it's really feeling like Spring here.  All my daffies and tulips are coming up.  The daffodils are budding so pretty soon we'll have some beautiful splashes of yellow in the garden.

That's my news for today.  Before I go, I want to share an adorable photo that Deanne took of her beautiful Kitty.  Kitty was lying on her back on a chair (this is how she sleeps) and it looked as if she were saying her prayers.  "Now I lay me down to sleep......."

Now I do believe I should maybe run the vacuum or wash the dishes before I snuggle under the covers for a nap.  Then again, maybe I'll wait until after my nap.  Hmmm, decisions, decisions!  So, till  tomorrow, Y'all have a fabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
