150s:

DD had an appointment with her PCP yesterday morning, DH & I went along. We walked around the parking lot during her visit. It was her first visit and she wants to see her again in 4 weeks which is concerning. After the doctor, we went to Home Depot to pick some dirt for the raised beds. When we got home I filled the beds that needed soil and planted tomatoes, peppers and marigolds, potted a hibiscus, then watered everything and put out fresh hummingbird nectar. I put together a second trellis and planted yard long green bean seeds. Then I had a shower, lunch, and some couch time. We had 6 for yoga. We had leftover veggie lasagna for dinner with spicy turkey sausage and salad. After dinner I watched a Hallmark movie and stitched. I fell asleep easily and slept well.

It's cloudy today but is not supposed to rain and is headed to the upper 80's. Still have lots of stuff to do outside. There's been more activity at the hummingbird feeder this morning.


Jan- WTG steps 10/11, PU, stretches, blue dot, rollover, AF. Yay for beautiful weather and getting your morning time back. Spreading all that bark is no joke. GL getting stuff done in the yard, always feels like there's so much more to do. Yay for your last day at work, hope your paper cuts heal quickly.

Vicki- Yay for feeling good, getting things done, girls trip to visit aunt and family this weekend. WTG doing WW Zoom, congrats to Jack on good game. I am getting excited for the trip which is a week from tomorrow! I haven't flown since Mom died.

Carole- Hope your tummy is better today.

Cathy- Glad your cold is better, yay for completing tax forms.

M-W Word of the Day

purloin 
verb | per-LOYN

What It Means
To purloin is to take something that belongs to someone else—that is, to steal it. Purloin is much more formal-sounding than steal, but is often—though not always—encountered in humorous contexts, suggesting that the theft is not serious.

// The puppy managed to purloin a few cookies from the plate when no one was looking.

// The studio stepped up security, fearing that someone might attempt to purloin a copy of the script for the show’s season finale.
