Thursday's Transitions

For the last couple days I have been going on my walk the first thing in the morning. This morning I was out the door around 0600 and went for a two and two thirds mile walk. It felt pretty good and I was not as sore as I had been earlier in the week.

I was able to go for the early morning walk because I watered the roses and berries last evening. I though that by watering them after the sun went down it would give the plants a chance to get a drink before the water evaporated from the heat. I do not like to water the lawn especially in the evening as it encourages moss, but I figured that the roses and berry gardens are cultivated enough that that would not be a problem.

Anyway after I got back from my walk, I made myself a sunny side up egg and an egg beater omelet with some sweet onion, mushroom, yellow and red peppers, I put the omelet on a couple slices of dark rye sour dough bread and it was soooo good!

After I ate I emptied the dishwasher and loaded the dishes from breakfast into it. I also did the hand washing pots and pans from last night. Then I went into the living room and read the paper. Then I went outside and pruned the roses and straightened up the grape vines.

I had told the lady next door that I would mow her lawn for her this week, it has been so hot that I had not done it, but the weather is suppose to start cooling down. I used my "new" electric reel mower and she was really impressed with it. She thought that it was probably light enough for her to be able to use it.

The mail had come by this time so I went out and got it, but there really was nothing there worth keeping other than the visa bill. I had wanted to go to Costco this morning or early afternoon but Kathleen was moving a little slowly today and we did not get out of here until after 1500 this afternoon.

While I was waiting for her, I decided to make one of my fab food lunches which I described in an earlier post so I will not repeat it here. I also pulled some more of the ivy from along the driveway. Slowly but surely I am getting the ivy pulled out, I am probably a little more than half finished.

We finally got back from Costco about 1730 and I was really spent, walking on the hard concrete floors really does me in. For the two hours that we spent at Costco we only spent a little over $100, we got several things but nothing very expensive.

For dinner tonight Kathleen made a salad, in our new large bowls and added some of the left-over cooked new baby red potatoes, cooked carrots, the left-over salmon, and some other greens. Then for dessert we had a couple Madeleines cookies (petite French cookies) and a demitasse of espresso. Needless to say I am rather stuffed!

Well, I walked about nine miles today and my feet are letting me know it. They did not start hurting until after shopping at Costco, so I am sure that it was from the cement floors. So I guess that this is it for tonight, so good night.
