To get through these interesting times, we decided to shift our focus to our backyard and make it more of an outdoor getaway and garden. We have a large side yard that had low wooden garden beds and fruit trees. But maintaining the ground around proved to be a challenge over the last couple of […]
New Home Adventures for the List
Did you have a good 4th? It was quiet here, we avoided a family gathering with climbing Covid-19 cases and it was a bummer. But we did discover the 4th is a great day to shop for garden goodies for our new backyard. Check out the progress! Basically half of our yard is being cleared […]
Staying Engaged for the List
It’s been a productive week here while we try to stay safe and sane, lots of busy work days, Miko cuddling, and moving on our garden backyard project which I’m really excited about. Miko was happy to chill and pout at us for not going on enough walks during 4 days in a row of […]
Staying Healthy for the List
Or trying to, it’s not easy these days with so much going on! It has been a busy and not too exciting week here again. It’s getting hotter, so Miko is happy to stretch out in the cool air conditioning after a long walk. But he’ll make an exception for warm blankets that just came […]
Making Positive Changes for the List
Hi there, how are you doing? It’s been another quiet-ish week and weekend here with me partially working from home and the office. Our gym re-opened Friday which I was tempted on, but think I am going to wait it out until July and keep working out at home and going for runs. While I […]
Another Week for the List
And doesn’t that sound horrible? It’s been an interesting week for sure, lots going on at work and just trying to make the most of these interesting times. We had a few days this week of triple digit heat and I tried to go on a weeknight run after work when it was 95 degrees […]
Just Coasting for the List
That’s what this week has felt like for me, coasting and getting through it. Miko has been a sweet little friend still happy to have us home more and spend more time in the backyard or trying to stand on me in our home gym. TV and laptop time are also great opportunities for more […]
Getting Out for the List
Happy Memorial Day weekend! It is so nice to have a long weekend, but we won’t be joining crowds at beaches, lakes, or malls even though things are starting to open back up here. I feel much more comfortable going for a run or dog walk outdoors and taking in the sights. It was great […]
Another Quiet Weekend for the List
Still sheltering in place this weekend with one exciting trip to Grocery Outlet and some yard work yesterday trying to embrace tackling more house projects between binge watching. But evening runs and dog walks have been gorgeous with grazing goats out and cute families of geese. Miko has been my work-at-home buddy in his bed […]
More Sheltering for the List
And it’s getting old, right? The blahs are getting real this week with more of the same. There are still lots of outdoor runs and Miko snuggling. And I had to take a break during this morning’s run to let angry geese clear the path. Don’t mess with angry geese! But we’ve been doing more […]
