I rode bike today chasing spring toward Aspen. I think I'm going to be stiff tomorrow (another bike day). It would be very hard for me if I couldn't be physically active. I'm thinking now of all those good veggies you're going to have, fresh from the garden!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-63121746944215037952016-03-27T16:33:57.861-05:002016-03-27T16:33:57.861-05:00I cannot garden as the mold in soil irritates my b...I cannot garden as the mold in soil irritates my breathing.

I walk everyday 12000 plus steps, but apparently one good deed does not spread further than the muscle used.. (I got terrific butt muscles, if I can ever find a good use for that!) ROFL! Maybe I should include a few squats. I planted my pansies but I put the planter on the table. I am the epitome of LAZY. Happy Easter sweet lady!

It's hard to tell my youngish brain that my oldish body can't do everything it used to do without a care. I have found that yoga and running is helping. <br />Hope you are feeling better soon. <br />The burn means we are still kicking, so I'll take it over the alternative.Brighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299215170393879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-19312283715371215682016-03-26T13:13:40.193-05:002016-03-26T13:13:40.193-05:00Ginnie,

They are so easy and take about 12 minutes. I think it's time to post them again because, even though I have painful and severe scoliosis I can still get through a day if I adhere to those exercises.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-31195387738671798572016-03-24T12:21:15.235-05:002016-03-24T12:21:15.235-05:00As for the cold sweet Patti, I prefer to have neit...As for the cold sweet Patti, I prefer to have neither but if I could choose I would go the shortest route. Hope all your burns have healed and you are enjoying gardening. There are several things I have not been able to do since injuries beginning a few years back but I am not ready to hang it up. I am learning to compensate as best I can. So far I have done some pruning, raking and picking up yard debris with no burning, hope I can keep that up. I did have to hire someone to keep my yard mowed though, I cannot do that any longer. Hope all is well with you sweet friend. Hugs and nose kisses all around from me and mine.Just Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759998899852167388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-83716856397530741422016-03-23T20:53:37.274-05:002016-03-23T20:53:37.274-05:00I'm with you about gardening!
