yet another beautiful day

It is another gorgeous day here in the mountains of WNC. I have traded in my Tour de France goals for step goals. This makes more sense now that I am working the recovery from surgery angle of health. Yesterday I made it 4300 steps. I was tired. I slept good. I woke earlier than a) I wanted to and b) the usual recovery hour. This was due to the return of the house mate. Somehow Kam can leave the house before 7 AM and I never hear her. She is getting out of bed, taking the dog out, showering, eating, and leaving through the same front door. Then just an hour later doors slam from bedroom to shower, shower to bedroom, and finally out the front door. (OK done ranting!) So, up earlier and feeling a bit battered by a baseball bat around the mid section. )I am really looking forward to those bruises going away. Could be that craving for juice filled with anti-oxidants in it that will help. I just thought it was sugar!) And here we are part way through the next day and I have already got 3044 logged in. Today may actually out step yesterday.

Celie is liking the new stepping thing. She wants to be smelling all the spring smells. I am amazed at how many dead worms and crushed bugs there are in the neighborhood! I am wanting to be noticing the crocus blooms and green sprouts of iris and tulip peaking through the mulch in the neighbor's garden. My garden is also showing some green stuff coming up. It will be quite interesting to see what is there this year. I was given so many bulbs in pots as congratulations and condolences last spring. They all went to the flower garden. I am tempted to put down some good fertilizer. I am afraid though it will smell like dead fish or some other wonderfulness that Celie will just have to roll in and bring back inside! These are the moments that she reminds me she is a dog not just a princess.

The sock is progressing right along. I am decreasing as told. Kam thinks I should have started sooner. She thinks the thing will be too big. I am hoping she is wrong. I have lovely pictures of it. I am just in a bad tech way and cannot seem to get the photos off the camera, or camera phone, and onto the web. There is most likely a book for dummies out there on the subject. I would just rather someone come along and tell me how it is done. Too bad my nephews don't live closer. I am of the opinion that anyone under the age of 16 knows all there is to know about these things.

Happy early spring air to all!
