Yes, I think I can! Like the little engine I have to tell myself these exact words in order to get me downstairs to do my walking. I don't feel like it at all right now, but I have to force myself if I don't want to end up stiff as a broom! The sun is shining today and it is a lot warmer for a change, so I hope to be able to do some gardening after lunch. How is your weather right now? Beautiful I hope.

We can do the cleanup and we already have some Spring bushes out and early flowers. My favorite time of the year.

I have been outside for grocery shopping late in the morning, the only time it has stopped raining. Now it's pouring.

@marlina No fun, especially if you consider that it snowed here early this morning. Now it's sunny, but cold.

Today is another glorious warm day, in the low 20's I believe the last time that I checked. I'm hoping that you can get out and get some gardening done. I intend on buying a planter to put in the urn on the front porch when I go out to do a little shopping this afternoon.

Cold, gloomy, rainy w/snowflakes, though I haven't seen them - they were reported while I was doing laundry. We're getting more of this same weather over the next week. I hope you did, and glad your weather is nice.

@marlina I think it's exciting in the fact that I never know what to expect from it. You know I love winter, however, now that spring is here, I do want to see the warmer temps and sun for a little while. Only until the unbearable hot days of summer, then winter can come back.
