Behind

As Rod so gently reminded me yesterday,

I'm BEHIND!

It's been a busy couple of days.

Like it always is when you return

from a vacation.

Then you have to catch up all the 

stuff you didn't do while away.

But I'm caught up now.

Mostly.

So let's take a look at my photos and

see what we all missed, shall we?

I bought a new purse!

It was so nice using Nancy's little

red purse, I missed it!

This one is a little larger

and certainly NOT red.

But I like it so far...

And then on Saturday, Kyle and I

got a wild hair.  Rod was taking a 

VERY well deserved nap on the couch.

So we went to Lowes.

Sat in their comfy chairs in the a/c

and discussed our wild hairs.

And this is what resulted.

We had three bottle brush trees that

the previous home owner planted.

I kept hoping they would DO something.

But 13 years later they are still

scraggly, pathetic and just ugly.

So Kyle chained them up and

pulled them out.

Tractors are the BEST TOYS!

This one had a root on it that went

nearly all the way to the ditch!

6 feet of tree and 40 feet of root!

No wonder the tree never did anything.

All the energy was going to that root!

Loaded them up and took them to the street.

(See! I told you I didn't take our Christmas

lights down last year... or the year before...)

LOL

And then we planted four pretty little

Hibiscus bushes.

They are pink, red, pink, yellow(ish).

All have LOTS of buds.

I'm looking forward

to having something pretty along the drive

in the coming weeks / months / years.

They are small now,

but they grow fairly quickly,

Especially since I'm watering them.

And going to put some fertilizer on them.

If I remember to buy some.

Otherwise I'll just go to the pasture

and get some "natural" stuff...

(grin)

It looks better already!

(And a new gardenia bush, but its inside

the fence and I forgot to take a picture of it...)

Yesterday was a nice, relaxing Sabbath.

And this morning I'm continuing the trend

by following my eating plan (started a new

2 week no cheat challenge yesterday and

so far I'm 100%!)

(And down a pound)

Also started my annual T-Tapp 60 Day Challenge

on Sunday which only meant taking pictures.

This morning I entered all my 

measurements (which are DOWN from

the ones I did 60 days ago on 2/15/18!)

uploaded my photos (ick)

and did a 27 minute workout that

focuses on healthy hormones and menopause

management. Which is what I need.

I'll do that one for the next 4 days

and then we'll see.  I have LOTS to 

chose from. Sometimes sticking to the same

one is what I want, and sometimes I need 

lots of variety to stay on the band wagon.

Considering I've done approximately 14 

workouts in the past 12 months, I haven't

landed on the right combination yet...

LOL

Wish me LUCK!
