Finishing coffee outside....It's threatening rain....dark clouds....but pleasant. I haven't dressed for the day...still in my snuggly robe. I came out to check on the progress of the lilies that have poked their leaves through the earth. There were several pairs of eyes peering back at me in the dark when I took our Yorkie out for a pee before bed last night. The battle with the deer has begun...plants have been sprayed but I like to double check.
My Facebook memories reminded me a year ago was the start of one of the craziest years in my lifetime. We had an appointment to sign papers at an attorney's office south of us....stopped for a nice lunch at Ted's Montana Grill....the last for several weeks...then stopped at Costco & Walmart. They had been cleaned out of so many items. Panic buying had set in. It feels surreal reading my words from a year ago. Things are starting to get back to a semblance of normal....but not entirely. We have had our vaccinations...as have many of our friends. I do wonder what the next month's will bring.
I am quite pleased with myself that I have managed to maintain a healthier weight thru it all. It may have been easier since I wasn't trying to balance social occasions with eating at home. No impromptu evenings out with extra wine & food. Now that we will start to have a few social events (still being careful), I will have to remain mindful of making good choices and maintaining balance.
I kept my sanity this past year walking in the neighborhood each day....we live in a rural community so didn't run into many people. And hours were spent outside in my gardens. So exercise and the joy of seeing bright flowers and lots of green.
I think dinner tonight is Salmon & asparagus. Maybe baby carrots...or I should cook the full size carrots in the crisper.
Well, need to decide activities for today. Hope everyone has a nice weekend 😊
