Getting Healthy and in Shape !

What a fun morning. I have joined the Gym here in our small town. It's great !  One of my Grand Daughters went with me and is also joining. One thing I am really looking forward to is I will have a personal trainer. I am so looking forward to this. Of course tomorrow I will probably not be able to move.

I will keep you posted on what's happening and the progress I am making. Wish me luck.   Tootles

Mornings

This is my view this morning. It's cool with a lovely breeze. I even had to get my jacket.
     I was thinking about comfort zones. you know we all have them and everyone has a different area that's best for them. I find it very interesting how some people will go to great links to stay in their comfort zones. They will even cause hurt feelings, and even fighting with another person, someone they love just to be able to stay in their zone. Its that uncomfortable for them. I believe they feel not in control. They have let someone else be in control and that is just too scary.  They feel they have lost their edge or they no longer have that identity that sets them apart.  Now they are part of a group and the scary thing for them is _ What if someone ask them a question or asked them to do something. If they are not in their zone they don't know how to function. Interesting !? I think yes.   Tootles

Peaches and 2 Apples

My apple crop is 2.  Yes, I said 2 apples. They are beautiful and just look at all my peaches.  Yum!  I am going to make peach preserves. I love this stuff.  I have it on everything.  Not only toast but any meat, with scrambled egg on corn tortilla.  I even add hot sauce to it and have it for dipping. I am going to be very busy and the smell in my house will be wonderful.

I just pulled Banana Bread out of the oven then put a chicken and potatoes in. Dinner !!  Hey, its all about easy and very very good.  Tottles

The Pigeon are no longer at this Address

I think we have new residents. Now I haven't seen them but I do hear whispers and snapping of twigs now and then. It's all such a mystery and I do hope we can figure it out. The Dogs are quietly barking and sniffing around, with their heads leaning to the side and their ears upside down.  Not to mention our cats, Angus is staring at what we don't know, then looking about scratching his crown , trying to figure just what is there, upon the ground.  We have peeked through our windows between the blinds to see what mischief we can find. I'm afraid we have found nothing to point to and say, "There is the culprit who's moved in the pigeon house and SCARED us away .  Oh, we will

  

Figure it out, just you wait and see. I for one would welcome the Magic, to see how it grows.  To feel it around me even in my toes.  I think they are in the berries, not hiding you see, just living their life as Happy as can be. That is my story and I'm sticking to it. Tootles

The Tarot

Here I go learning more. I've used a Tarot Deck for years and have numerous decks. I love to find different ones. One time in my life I did not have any cards, that is, with me, so I made a deck of Rider Waite cards. I looked on line and they had a pattern I could copy.  I colored them myself which at the time was great therapy.  Believe it or not I love this deck.  I'm sure its because I touched each card not only with cutting and coloring but my spirit, my soul and of course my passion is in every card.

Now with this book " Seventy Eight Degree's of Wisdom " by Rachael Pollock, I am able to learn even more about each card in the Tarot.  I think its going to take me awhile to get through this but when I am done I feel it will be an opening up of another part of my Sprit. Tootles

Pigeon House or What ?

How about this little gem. Some people see throw away, I see treasure.

I'm fixing this up for my yard. The worst has been cleaned out of it, well almost, now I'll do the final cleaning. Then the fun begins. Where to put it in my yard and deciding just what to put inside. Oh !  The possibilities are endless.

This will keep me busy as Jim is working now so I do have lots of free time. I'm so use to him being here I really miss him.  I mean you can only read and watch TV so long. I'll keep you in the loop.  Tootles

Lavender, Lavender, Lavender

Oh, how I love this sweet smelling plant.  I told you last week about making lavender oil. Well, here it is

That was fun and interesting. Will be doing more fun things. Until tomorrow. tootles
