Well at least I feel productive don't know that I really am.
Saturday got lots done - OK if you consider cleaning the tops of the kitchen cabinets and then lemon oiling the wood productive. It's always so nice when I am done. The cabnets look great. Definitely a highlight of the kitchen, maybe even the whole house. From there I cleaned the rest of the downstairs - well I haven't vacuumed yet - we have an extra pup in the house at the moment. Vacuuming would be an exercise in futility.
When the sun went around the front of the house we went to the front yard. Uncovered some of the plants that were thankfully NOT traumatized by the landscapers dumping pounds of mulch on them. I have a few variations of monkey grass coming back - no real surprise there. The Easter lilies are popping up strong. I am always amazed at how soon they pop through but then take forever to bloom. And thankfully there is new growth on the lantana. I think it will be some time for the calla lilies. I am hopeful they will show their pink blooms again this year. Struggling are the oleander. It got too cold too quickly this year. They definitely got hit by some frost. I am torn between planting them in the ground or repotting them to pots that I can bring inside next winter. Two very different scenarios.
From there I went to the gym - 3.75 miles on the treadmill in an hour. That is the longest I have stayed on the treadmill in quite some time. My legs feel it today. I had a really great stretching session afterwards as well.
And lastly, I deposited my tax return and promptly helped the economy by stopping off at Target.
Overall a good day.
