MY OKLAHOMA GRANDS, all played Soccer THIS SPRING. They stay physically active for sure. I wish I could have seen more of their games in person. Next year perhaps.
THIS girl is now a woman.
AND LIL MISS is a runner.
GRANNY NANNY LOVES HER JOB.
BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY HERE ON THE PRAIRIE WITH BRIGHT BLUE SKIES THAT ARE CLEAR. Nice weather as Hubby is working on the lawn raking and planting new grass seeds. He has hopes of finishing up our large yard today.
The grass that was there died out for a second year in a row. The soil should be better, but we are not going to revamp it. Where the sun hits the ground and shines all day, the grass yellowed and died out. The grass that is there is suppose to be in the shade not the sun. IT COOKED. Not what you want when yearning for luscious greens.
It seems that there is much one needs to know when dealing with lawns, trees and flowers. Being carefree and careless when it comes to a HOME PROPERTY will have consequences for sure. Ignoring ownership responsibilities will be a mistake. Upkeep is an ongoing thing. Like most things, learning as we go along.
SO as he reworks the lawn, I continue to round up things to take to the COTTAGE. By the backdoor waiting to be hauled over to the COTTAGE, I have a stack of plastic storage tubs full of snapshots and pictures. The order I do have, I found in smaller storage boxes. I will thin through the pictures probably next WINTER when I can sit and reminisce. For now, I will relocate them placing them in a dark closet.
Even the smaller boxes are heavy to me as I notice I am not 20 anymore where I had more strength and stamina. Pacing myself, I am on the go though. This phase of carrying so many boxes, shuffling furniture, etc. is very physical and I know it is a great way to exercise. I should not be overweight, but I am. Diet and food selections need to be nutritiously DENSE. Not eating so many carbs is a secret to weight loss plus eating organic fruits and vegetables. Selecting the correct food selections is something I have had to change as I was not eating in a fashion that helps to maintain a healthy weight. My DINNER PLATE was out of whack. ALSO when ones HORMONES are off, it can cause issues and usually does.
SO who am I trying to be after all but a healthier woman that's inching her way to being 70 years old and counting? I seldom have alcohol. I don't drink soda pop or coffee. I've cut back on milk and drink almond milk now days. I don't smoke. I don't gamble. I don't do recreational drugs. I don't stay out all hours of the night. I don't eat constantly. So what do I do to contribute to being unhealthy? I'm not a machine, but very much a human.
I am conscientious about the amount of food I eat and have been more aware of what I am stuffing in my mouth. I know full heartily that I have got to eat a larger variety of fruits and vegetables and more of them. I also need to arise earlier in the mornings and get into a routine of walking early in the morning. Stay active physically and mentally. Make sure my hormones are within a healthy range.
THIS SATURDAY, I hope to get the pile of photo boxes relocated. Hopehopehope. The boxes are heavier than I like and it will take a hot minute to pack them in the car and then unload. When it is completed, I will go ahh. Not bad for an old woman.
STATE EVENTS are coming up. One Grandson will go to STATE for GOLF and LIL MISS will go for running. I pray they do well. Cheering on all the grandkids in their young lives.
You know watching the grands grow is a blessing.
