Since not many folks feel as I do about February and I did NOT receive a gazallion signatures on my petition to do away with the month, I’ve decided to quit whining about it. You’re welcome. :0)
I’m seeing signs of spring in our yard and it makes me smile to go outside, though it’s still a bit too brisk to stay out there long. My daffodils are nodding happily, forsythia is starting to shoot forth yellow blooms, my iris are shooting their spears up, and our tulip tree is starting to bloom. NICE!
This is my desk calendar for February. As you can see, I got serious about my yoga practice on the 18th. I finished the month in fine style, earning 12 stars for the month. Hopefully I can earn 31 stars for March, building to a habit of yoga each afternoon.
On my efforts to lose the lard, I reached my 20 pounds off goal. I’m planning to set new goals in 5-pound-increments, since they seem more attainable than the entire amount of lard I would like to lose. I’m trying to eat low carb. I’m eating cauli-rice instead of rice, zoodles instead of spaghetti, no pasta, a low carb tortilla instead of bread (though I haven’t tried them yet), careful choices on very little fruit, as little sugar as possible, cutting down on salt, lots of low carb veggies.
Cooking for us is a bit of a challenge, but so far, it’s going well. My husband has no interest in low carb. He has no interest in low sugar, either, but I’m adamant about him watching that. I’m hoping that by the end of March, I’ll be making good progress in my diet and exercise, moving more, feeling pretty good for an old broad. :0)
My husband is having trouble with his computer. I’m typing for him as he chats with various Microsoft techs. It’s tedious, but doable. Once this is over, I hope to get up to my art room.
I hope that March brings you joy.

Good afternoon, I love the pictures of your beautiful blooming trees and plants. It makes think about all of the flowers, bushes and trees we planted in our last home of 36 years. Hopefully we can plant some things in our yard soon.
I spoke to my husband at home before I started my lunch here at work, and he said it was cold and raining. I am still excited just thinking about planting something beautiful and something deer won’t eat.
I hope you enjoy your month of March.

Good afternoon, Donna. I’m glad you liked the yard pictures. I hope your weather cooperates and allows you to get some things planted that you’ll enjoy for years. Where do you live?

My husband’s relatives had a house on a lake at a place they called Tate, near Jasper, GA. One of the prettiest places I’ve ever seen.
