My poor, neglected dog
I’m so tired after yoga & gardening in the sun that the only thing that motivated me to take my dog for any kind of walk was the idea of renting a movie. We took a quick walk to Blockbuster. Its barely worth noting. I want to track how often I let her down. Still, […]

A gardener’s work is never done

Planted a 2nd round of bush beans (the first planting is just past the dicot emergence stage)
Pulled a bunch of weeds
Harvested lettuce
Trained tomatoes
Prepped pots & garden mounds with soil for a forthcoming dibbling […]

And on the 5th day my arms said…
“We’re getting stronger, but….”
Can we handle flowing thru chaturanga tomorrow to get up to 6 (and then possibly 7 days in a row when I got to Monday’s class?). I’m not sure, so we’ll see. I’ve hit a goal of doing at least 5 days of yoga a week, up from 3 just a month […]

joggin’ the dog
This afternoon the sun is out, but the storm clouds are still floating about & converging into showers now & then. I decided to brave the chance of getting wet & walk Shiloh this afternoon right after yoga. I was already sweaty & not quite ready for lunch, so we went for it. About 1/2 way […]

Core Yoga
Class was great again today. Lisa is such a wonderful, challenging, but encouraging instructor. Too, one of my regular teachers came to the class, plus a woman new to the studio, and a few regulars like myself. It was a class filled with chatter & laughter, which isn’t always appropriate but really fit the group & the […]

Ah…my old friend Flow!
Yeah, I didn’t mean “Aunt Flow”….
I meant I went to a great Hatha Flow class tonight & feel back on track with my yoga & my attitude. Whew! The past few days have been looooww for me. Something kicked into gear today…maybe the rain calmed the pollen that’s been making me crazy hayfever-y…I dunno…but I […]

Dog walk in between showers
I saw that bright yellow thing peek out between the big gray mass in the sky, so I grabbed Shiloh & went for quick walk around the neighborhood. We met a fat chocolate lab & managed to get home before the rain started up again.

Processed Foods
As I’ve been reading “Fitness Over Forty’s” post yesterday about craving greasy fast food and watching Running Kate post her daily diet, I’ve started thinking a lot about what we put into our bodies.
Off the bat, I’ll tell ya’, I really don’t spend a ton of time worrying about what I eat. I do try […]

Weds Yoga
I went to my regular 5pm Weds restorative yoga class planning to use that slow, 1 hour class as a warm up for the 6:15 Hatha Flow. Alas, I just pooped out. I had a huge allergy attack last night after pulling weeds. When I woke up this morning, it was still with me & […]

Shear Madness!
I went out to see a new client today who hired me to help them evaluate a space for a new hot tub. They have a cute yard with enormous rhodies, pieris, viburnum and other established shrubs. Such a blessing to have established evergreen shrubs that flower! The sad thing is that at some point in this […]
