Treadmill Time

Wow! I fell asleep so early last night (7:30) that I woke up early (2:30). I hemmed and hawed in my bed for a while, but I was wide awake. I decided this morning would be the morning I got my butt back on the treadmill, and I did! Only 20 minutes this morning, but I feel great about it because I thought I might be able to do only 5. Now to just stick with it.
It took a long time to find the right time to exercise; now I know that in the morning before I'm exhausted from work is the best time for me. I used to think about exercising all day at work and by the time I got home it was the last thing I wanted to do.
Time to go to work! It's going to be a good day.

Stay-cation

These are the last two days of my stay-cation   We worked in the yard this morning; trying to get it ready for winter planting. I trimmed the unruly boysenberry; I've let it go so long it's impossible to tell which canes need to go and which ones I should keep, so I cut the entire thing back to about two feet. Next spring I'll take a more pro-active stance on caring for the vine. I should dig it up and replant, but this way I'll get some boysenberries. We went out this summer and picked some wild blackberries and made jelly. This was the summer I learned to can fruit and jam properly, so I really want some boysenberries next year.
