Have you noticed that snails seem to be taking over the world? They seem to be everywhere this year. These two live on my front step. I don’t want to kill them, but I don’t want them around either. I’m not sure if this is a deliberate takeover plan or snails are just very prolific […]

A day of frustration. I knew I should have taken a walk as soon as I got up, but I didn’t, thinking I would do it later. Of course, later I was busy doing other things, cleaning the bathrooms, mopping, weeding – all things that are exercise, but not steps. Day 148: 5757 Steps YTD: […]

Sometimes it’s not easy to be a blogger. I was getting some steps in today by vacuuming my swimming pool. If you own an inground pool, you know that the water is not always crystal clear when you open it in the spring. This year, we’ve had an abundance of frogs, and when I uncovered the […]
