Making Time for Me

This morning we didn't get out of bed until after 8:30!

Jill's house has been keeping us very busy.  We are all making progress, but it can be exhausting.  We all worked Sunday afternoon and all day Monday getting more things set up and more boxes unpacked. I even got started on a yard project there.  We have to remove some shrubbery in order to put up the shed we moved from the rental.  I began the bush whacking yesterday.

It rained over night, and this morning was gray and drizzly, a good morning for a slow start.  And not a good morning for more bush whacking.  My other choices were to get a blood test, go to the pet care store for food for Josy, find batteries for my digital scale (weight watching is important right now), and restock the grocery supply.  Then there was my own house to clean.  

Tom went off to the other house to get indoor mechanical/ electrical projects done.  Those are not things I can really help with.  I went off to tackle that list I mentioned. 

By 2:00 I had a decision to make.  I could finish the housework, go to Jill's house and work, or go for a walk.

You see, after the rain, we had afternoon sun breaks!  That's the official weather term here for when the clouds clear enough for the sun to shine through periodically.
 I went for a walk!  The heart shaped puddle on the sidewalk was newly filled. 
It did great things for my spirit to walk in the sunshine and an almost warm 60°.


My pedometer registered 3.77 miles as I returned home, and checked out a few things in my own yard that I hadn't taken time to look at for a while.
I discovered that a diseased native dogwood had come down on the garden deck trellis.  More work to do when we get back to our yard. 
 The clematis in the rose tree said "Take your time.  I'm still blooming". 

And then I went back inside and finished the vacuuming and dusting!
