We’re still focusing on our garden during these crazy times and made a little progress this week around busy work schedules and triple digit heat. The starter plants are outgrowing the AeroGarden seed starter tray, so hubby finished up the drip sprinkler system on one of the garden beds to start relocating plants to – […]
New Garden for the List
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Still Sheltering for the List
Thank you for all the sweet comments on Leela, it’s not easy losing a family member. It’s been another interesting week of mostly working from home and trying not to obsess over the news and focus on the positives such as beautiful running weather and grazing goats. And cuddly, sleepy buddies. Oh, and successful deal […]
Sad News for the List
We have sad news this week, our sweet Leela passed away. And it has been sad and strange without her since. It was not a surprise, we’ve known it was coming for a long time now, but it was still painful and tough with everything going on. I really miss our routine of caring for […]
Still Here for the List
How are you doing? Hard to believe we’re going on week 5 of our shelter in place order, I feel like I’m forgetting what normal was before this. But I do get to head into the office tomorrow and looking forward to it. Lots of Miko cuddles and sunset runs have been helping to get […]
Strange, Strange Times for the List
This has been an odd week as I’m sure it has been for you too. Even busier at work preparing those who can work from home to work from home, being short handed, and trying to not let the anxiety get to me or my team. I have stopped going to the gym until this […]
Busy, Busy Times for the List
Happy Sunday and how’s it going? I am contemplating going for a run, but it’s very windy here today which is my least favorite running condition. So maybe the home gym if the wind does not settle. It has been an interesting week here starting with a lot of job challenges. I am still adjusting […]
Bye Bye 2019 for the List
I am ready to to be done with 2019, it was an interesting year of growth and being tested. I’ve got my Green Dreamer planner ready for serious goals and fun for 2020 – new adventures, new recipes, getting out more, and conquering being a manager. Sounds good, right? How was your Christmas? Ours was […]
