Trees
Wednesday, September 19th 2007
I made it to another yoga-Pilates class this morning. Knowing the routine, I followed along for the most part but skipped some of the exercises/positions that work muscles I'm strengthening & toning in other activities and spent the time instead working on muscles that really need it.I read Miriam's blog about beech trees this morning and it reminded me that in planning replacements for the box elders out back I'd forgotten that I wanted to include a copper beech. My neighbors down t...
I Love Autumn
Tuesday, September 18th 2007
The weather is absolutely gorgeous in central New York and forecasted to continue for a week or more. The freshness of the air after the dry, stagnant conditions of the previous weeks has definitely revitalized me. I tootled around on my Koga, my town bike, most of the day yesterday, first to the dentist in one village and then down to the other village to get some safflower seed and some dried meal worms for the birds. It occurred to me that if I could ride around all week I'd be sure to get...
My CK Goal
Monday, September 17th 2007
I'm not gonna be sittin' here long this morning; it's 64º/18º in the house and I can't bring myself to turn on the furnace just yet.But this is it, this week the final (I hope) push to my CK goal. To that end I've checked the star chart and if I'm reading it correctly, the full moon will again be riding low on the southern horizon; I really want to avoid, odd as it may seem, any interference from lunar events and another week without any progress. The closer I get, the more impatient I...
Pompano
Sunday, September 16th 2007
I hadn't been able to figure out what I was doing about dinner last night until I got to the fishmonger's about noon and saw the pompano that Rich had beautifully filleted. It was fabulous.I can't say the same for the Barilla Plus penne that I tried for the first time last night. I thought it tasted like cooked breakfast cereal and had a grainy texture, none of the 'chewiness' I like in my pasta. The flavor wasn't too bad with the pesto but I can't see substituting it for artisan pici, ...
Moving Slowly
Saturday, September 15th 2007
I saw some movement on the scale this morning; I was beginning to think there was some kind of governor preventing it from reading anything below 142.I was thinking about dinner out this evening but I'm so close to my CK goal that I'd really like to do everything I can this next week to drop the last two pounds. And with rain most of last night and the chilly temps today I don't think I'll be getting out on a bike today.
