What’s Blooming Today!

Garden day!  I always love putting this post together.  We had that really hot spell and the garden just popped today.  Our temps got low overnight. I think they were in the upper 50s   It was about 60 degrees when I went out for a quick pre-breakfast bike ride.  I did 6.5 miles in [...]

What’s Blooming Today!

Yay – it’s Friday!  That means garden time!

I was surprised at how many of you have sleep issues as well. I had a pretty good night’s sleep last night, other than waking up from a bad dream.  Hate that.  I did a morning walk around the block and took some pictures of my garden.  [...]

What’s Blooming Today and Crepes!

Hooray it’s Friday!  Work has been swamped this week and if it turns out rainy, I might pick up some lines this weekend for extra $$ to put towards Disney World!

It was the most gorgeous of mornings today.  The heat wave has broken and I had to get out for a ride.  John was [...]

What’s Blooming – the rain edition

We had lots more rain last night, but the sun came out for a while today.  I find my mood is much more affected by sun as I am older than when I was younger.  Or maybe I just notice it more?  I was up too early, though, as our blinds were not completely closed [...]

What’s blooming – the tulip edition

My tulips are bursting this year!  We had some warmer sunny weather this week, which made the garden go bananas.

I leaned over the side of the porch and the perfume of lily of the valleys just wafted up and I saw a big cluster of them.  I am just amazed how how fragrant [...]

Tulip Festival

As promised, here are the tulips – and lots of them!  On Mother’s Day, John and I biked to bagels and met my parents there for breakfast.

Hi mom!

While breakfasting, I had mentioned about wanting to go to the Albany Tulip Festival, but not sure I wanted to drive and hour and spend [...]

What’s blooming and bagels!

Friday! I have trouble keeping track of the days when the schedule gets a little out of order, don’t you? I had a protein drink and went to the gym at the usual time.

What’s blooming today!

It’s Friday and you know what that means! What’s blooming! But first, the daily stuff. I proteined up and biked to the gym. I know a lot of you are in a heat wave, but it was in the upper 50s biking there this morning

Warmed up with 1 mile on the treadmill and [...]

C’est la vie.

Thanks for all your kind words regarding the stolen bikes.  It was just so bizarre.  I was so incredibly happy and having such a wonderful time in the gardens and then we came out to the disbelief of the missing bikes.  Talk about crashing down to earth.  The bikes were not expensive, but my bike [...]

What’s blooming and good eating day.

Woke up to some refreshing coolness today!  The humidity is gone, thank goodness.  I had a protein drink and biked on out to the gym.

To ‘warm up,’ I ran 2 miles on the treadmill at 5.5 mph.  That way I could get all nice and sweaty before hitting the weights.

Not a heavy [...]
