finches and frogs

Late for gym today as I had to drive A. to school, my bad–rolled over when the alarm went off.  Did not quite 2 mi. on the tm w/incline, 7 min. on rower, and ladies lite aerobics.

Bought a new finch feeder.  Call it an early Mothers Day present to myself.  The sock-like mesh ones get torn to shreds by the squirrels and the clear plastic ones have so few holes and make the poor things hang upside down to feed.  This one is a metal mesh so I’ll see if they seem happier with it.  Goldfinches are soooo pretty.

Bfsk.: Grapenuts w/skim, decaf tea w/skim……..snack: f.f. cottage cheese and strawberries………..lunch: cube steak, greenbeans……..snack: pear……dinner: 1/2 cheese steak sub…..later: hot fudge sundae @ McDonalds       ok till the end of the day, no will power

Picked A. up after soccer practice—ate on the run (the cheese steak) and off to the barn.  We are getting to know some people there, everyone seems nice.  Tonight I met the girl who was being paid to exercise Rachel before we leased her. Rachel was good again, A. had her do a few low jumps again.  We were there till well after dark (last to leave) and when we were leaving there were frogs all over the driveway on the way out to the road.   A. kept leaping out of the car and shooing them off the side of the lane.  Don’t think I killed any.  Today was too warm for April—there really is no real Spring here; this happens every year, we are either in the upper 40’s to low 50’s or, like today, upper 80’s and humid.  The evening, however, was perfect!!!!

The club has a 5K and 1 miler on the agenda tomorrow (of course, tis the season), so off to bed I go.  G’nite, chickadees.

    Great job on the exercise Ms. Soclose -

    Those frogs are pretty spooky but fun at the same time?! I bet they’re pretty loud - reminds me of summers in Virginia…..

    Hey ms. soclose -

    I was there for about one year - my senior year of high school! Seems like a million years ago…. I worked odd jobs too before joining the army. One of them was in Williamsburg! :)

    I can’t say I miss VA. It was muggy, incredibly hot and a real rough year for me as I had to make new friends at the high school ;(
