A beautiful spring day

Thursday, April 16, 2009

It's a sunny, beautiful day; in the mid 60's, and not too much wind.
I got out for a half hour walk this afternoon, then did 40 minutes of raking leaves; raked for 20 minutes at time, taking a break in between. If it's nice through the whole weekend, I will probably be able to finish the yard.

My hip was hurting when I got up this morning; I had to take a pain pill around 11am. I think my body is getting use to them; they don't make me quite as sleepy any more, but I still wouldn't take one if I had to drive. I'm not feeling too bad now, from the raking. Having a little acid reflux pain though. When I was taking my break in the middle of my leaf raking, I had an apple. I probably should have waited to eat when I was finished, because after my break, I was bending over to pick up the leaves to put in the yard waste bag. Doing a lot of bending with food in your stomach is no-no if you have acid reflux.

While I was raking, I was noticing all the plants coming back up; tulips, some poppies, lambs ears, and a few perennials that right now I don't remember the names of. The grass is even starting to turn green. That's one of my favorite things about spring, seeing all that stuff come back to life again.

    You sound like you feeling really not too bad...and you accomplished a lot...The woman that had my townhouse before planted 4 perennial beds with lots of flowering trees and bushed...I can hardly wait to see what comes up!

    Not quite as warm here but a sunny day. You are making me think that I should get out and do some yard work. emoticon
