forty miles

Yes! Three days of walking four miles each day and two fourteen mile bike rides for a total of forty miles!! I love October weather and I love the St. Louis Cardinals!

mothers day bike

Yesterday I rode fourteen miles on my new Mother's Day bike. I rode all the way to mile 150 and back. My butt was alittle sore but I love my new bike.Woo Hoo! The day before I walked 5.26 miles on the Washington Park trail; my first time on the trail this year. Today I walked a little over a mile in the hood but rain prevented me from going any distance.

i really wanted to

go biking this morning but I committed to helping with quilts so that's what I did. After lunch I decided to force some hyacinth bulbs for next Spring. I try this every year. Sometimes I have luck and sometimes I don't. This is my first attempt at hyacinths. I used what I had: a mixture of peat moss, perlite and cactus soil mixture. I figured that qualified for sandy soil. Then into the downstairs refrigerator for ten to eleven weeks.
