2024 Happy Blog Challenge Continues

Happy Monday!  Here are some things that brought some joy to me today: On Mondays I try to get up early so I can get to sleep in the afternoon to be able to get up to work overnight Tuesday. I woke up before my alarm and I got some exercises in this morning.  Since I like spreadsheets, I also started one to keep track of what exercises I'm getting done. It is my goal to get at least something done everyday, more on days I don't work. Today I got a little bit of everything on the list done. The list will probably grow as I think of more more parts to exercise.  This afternoon I got to walk with my friends Amy and Stephanie. We walked along the Rockingham Rail Trail near Lake Massabesic.

I didn't figure out what a beautiful day it was outside until the afternoon.  I got my errands run and I got the sump pump to work.  Two good things checked off my list. A walk around the yard showed me that the crocus plants have recovered quite nicely.  A few maybe were squashed by the snow, or maybe they were older, the rest look great.  The daffodils are getting closer to blooming.  Next to the daffodils something purple is coming up.  I think it is a hyacinth, but I don't remember from last year.  I know I planted something new in that area last year, but I don't expect that to come up. Daffodils and ?  Crocuses Here are some more pictures from yesterday's total solar...
