Quite A Nice Day Again

 We might have a freeze next week, but not a hard freeze. Until then it will be even bordering on warm during the day. I can't complain about the weather-- yet. 

Nice Morning!

 Cool and sunny with no breeze so no wind chill problems. I was out in the morning sun wearing next to nothing behind my privacy fence, soaking up the rays. I won't have many opportunities for such activity once winter sets in. Enjoy it while I can, I say. Last evening I drank most of a bottle of an aged Llano Blush. Quite good, and something to savor. Bottled twenty years ago, it aged well. My project this morning involved making natural trellises for bindweed out of the old sunflower stalks. Yes, I have bindweed, and some other as yet unidentified vine with large leaves growing in my backyard and I welcome that stuff. I can kill the bindweed easily if it ventures into any areas where I don't want it. I've already experimented with various common liquids and I've found a few things that are effective and not environmentally harmful. For me to know and for others to learn for themselves. 

I had a weight session, first thing, of course. Later, the gym. In between, a few errands. 

Sunny Cool

 It should be warmer tomorrow. I was able to do a lot and I got lucky on something. I found a terrific bargain and snapped it up. 

Wintery Today

 Not freezing but cool and wet. I'm glad I did a lot yesterday, when the weather was fine. This spell of wet winter should be over by Saturday, when we get some sun again. Bad timing for the cotton farmers, who rarely catch a break lately. The ground is still saturated from our recent heavy rains and that means a lot of run off into the playa lakes. Well, I like to see those things full. But I really hate gloomy weather like this. 

I won't be getting much done today. 

It Looks To Be

 Yet another nice day coming up. Seasonal temps and some rain in the forecast. I got some essential stuff done yesterday and I feel good about that. I don't have much on my plate today apart from the gym. I can't emphasize enough the need to exercise on a regular and consistent basis, and have some weight training and resistance work as part of the routine. I've been doing that for at least 35 years, NOT body building but strength training. I found time for exercise even when I worked. I'd get home from work and hit the weights and follow that with a brisk walk. Weekends were for bicycling and jogging. It can be done, and the benefits are lasting.
