Spring Ahead Without Enthusiasm

We had a lazy morn yesterday. We took our cues from these two:


I told myself I was going to acquire dorsum on the 10k mensuration bandwagon. Instead, I went on a stitching marathon as well as finished upwards the southeast corner of my latest quilt block.


Now I've moved the hoop up, as well as I'll acquire to operate on the words for the sign this morning.


So when I was able to tear myself away from my stitching, I did exit for a walk. This time, I did a kind of insy-outsy-ziggy-zaggy trip upwards as well as downwards nearly every street inwards the RV park, trying to acquire my mensuration count up. Along the way, I saw a few to a greater extent than blooming things.


This side past times side i grows inwards abundance dorsum home. This is photinia. It's planted as well as trimmed into hedges betwixt the spaces hither at the RV park. H5N1 few convey some flowers. It tin move left to grow into a shrub, as well as and then it volition move covered amongst blossoms. It also gets brilliant cherry leaves if left to its ain devices. The ones hither inwards the common are kept pretty severely pruned dorsum into hedges, as well as thence nosotros belike won't come across many flowers from them.


Also, I spied this kumquat tree covered inwards kumquats.


Without much success, I tried to acquire a painting demo of i amongst my fingers for scale, but they were high over my head, as well as it was difficult to acquire an in-focus painting demo land standing on tippy toes.


About one-half the spaces inwards the RV common are occupied past times Canadians. They convey their colors displayed inwards diverse dissimilar ways. I liked this i best:


Most are from British Columbia, but I've also seen license plates from Alberta, Manitoba, as well as Saskatchewan. We've also seen several folks from the slap-up Blue Planet of South Dakota.

How's this for a life philosophy?


As for this sign, I tin only assume at that spot are no cats living here. Otherwise, the cats would convey the terminal say.


To the left of the sign, pups on parade.


There were a duet of these guys. I'm for sure this i merely wished I'd deed along as well as leave of absence him alone.


Okay, thence the hawks maintain to amuse me...yes, I said "hawks." Plural. Yesterday, I noticed the woman somebody inwards a nearby tree. She was calling out orders to the manlike somebody who was all the same working on the nest.


Here he is. H5N1 man's operate is never done.


When I was finished amongst my walk, I all the same had less than 7k steps, which was less than I'd hoped for. Oh well. One to a greater extent than trip or thence the perimeter of the common got me where I wanted to be.


When I got back, I made us a dejeuner from i of the avocados as well as 2 of the cherry grapefruits nosotros scored at the create stand upwards a few days ago. It was a yummy salad...a exercise of our diet. That's a piece of prosciutto at that spot inwards the middle. The salad dressing was made from a tablespoon of grapefruit juice as well as 3/4 teaspoon of sesame oil. It was rattling tasty.


We've been pretty expert on our diet, except for the Mexican nutrient nosotros had land Meredith was visiting. The Cooking Light Diet website has changed since earlier nosotros started on the trip. I ever idea it was tardily to use, but it's fifty-fifty easier now, as well as it seems every bit if some novel recipes convey been added. I'm noticing fifty-fifty to a greater extent than diverseness on our menu.

It was Sadie's solar daytime to sentry for the truthful cat side past times side door yesterday, as well as she took her responsibilities rattling seriously.



There he is now. Since I in conclusion mentioned him, we've learned that he is indeed male, as well as he's nigh a twelvemonth old. His holler is "Rocky." He has gotten off his tethered leash a fourth dimension or two, specially when chased past times an unleashed dog. (And i time again I say, who leaves their truthful cat tied upwards exterior land unattended?)


Today's agenda volition move much the same every bit yesterday's...stitching, walking, eating. Yesterday I threatened to exit the scraps I convey amongst me to attempt making a piddling mini. Consider this today's threat. Perhaps having the common pose out of hours inwards the solar daytime volition acquire me going. I know i matter for certain: We've run out of our Dove sorbet bars, as well as those things are similar crack. We're going to convey to acquire inwards search of a dealer on the streets of Hemet today or we'll move Jonesing for them come upwards TV fourth dimension this evening.
