Lazy Leisure :o)

Ahhhh, a low impact day.  Today is my transition day to tomorrow's night shift at work.  As an added benefit, my bride was off today as well :o) 

I was able to sleep in until 10:00, but the last hour and a half was very restless.  We had a nice morning of puttering on the computer, getting caught up on J-Land.  Noonish, Beth headed out to the store, and I headed out to the backyard.  I am so glad that the winter is finally behind us, today was in the mid-60's.  I decided to get my "workout" in via outside activities instead of the recumbent bike or treadmill (I did manage to get a little weight work in though).

My goal is to slowly empty the old garage in preparation for converting it into a workout area.  To that end, I hung my new bird house (a golf bag that I got from Beth for Christmas), hung all of our wind chimes - it is such a pleasant sound with the gentle breeze - and filled the bird bath we have off of our deck.  Also, with the sustained coldness behind us, I turned on the water to the outside faucets (always a milestone, 'cause that really means that Old Man Winter is gone for the year).

While all the "growth" is dormant, I also headed to the garden area and made the path wider around the deer fence.  Also, I have created a path in the marsh, that the wildlife love to use, and that we occasionally meander along.  There is one particular area that the mower gets caught in, so I went out with the shovel and made the area wider and flatter.  I have to admit, by the time I was done, I definitely needed to hit the showers.

Tonight will be American Idol and stir fry with our new Wok :o)  Beth will head off to bed, and I will most likely watch a Matrix movie or two. 

So, thanks Wifey for a nice day. Spring is definitely in the air.
