Spring Fever Pictures


Nope, these aren’t new photos. I wish they were.

These are pictures I took last year. They’re my inspiration to hang in there until spring really is here in all it’s blazing glory.

Those are Blackeyed Susans in the first photo, a gorgeous Day Lily in the second and the third is one of the lush, velvety Peonies from one of three Peony bushes that we have.

Jack is outside cleaning out my perennial bed, bless him. As he removes all the leaves that piled up there last fall, you can see the tiny green bits starting to peek through. I’ll take a shot of them when they’re actually big enough to be seen through the camera’s eye.

I, meanwhile, am sticking to the computer. It’s just that I’m on a roll and I hate to quit. No earth-shattering news to report about earning my first “internet million”. Just plodding away learning new things and trying to apply them.

I’ve decided, though, that I need to pace myself. Spending twelve hours a day on the computer is very likely going to land me in the looney-bin. There are those who would argue that the looney-bin has always been just a stone’s throw away from me, anyway, but I choose to think othewise.

So here’s my plan:

I will make a schedule (and keep it) for spending time on my internet “work”.

I will post to my blog every day. Even if it’s just a picture or a blurb that I’m still evading the looney-bin or whatever. Every day. A pledge.

I will take a nice, long walk every day (if it’s not raining or snowing or blowing like mad). Walking is something I really enjoy and it’s fabulous “thinking” time. And maybe I can drop a couple of pounds. Funny how I lost ten pounds and kept them off all winter. The minute we got home to “the frozen north” and were sequestered inside because of the weather, I started to pile it back on. There is just no justice.

I will spend some time, every day, reading. I always read for awhile every night, anyway, but that’s my time for light reading like novels. I’ll spend another hour or so reading to learn.

It’s almost noon and I started this a couple of hours ago. Had a hard time getting the photos to upload right. Never did get it to work so this’ll just have to do. In any case
