Let's hear a colorful cheer for Springtime. . . .


. . . . . . it can't be all doom and gloom!






We can't actually go shopping in the stores, however we can order online if it's 
our thing. . . . . . or we can perhaps shop our closets and storage boxes (my out of 
season things are in those under the bed), which I'm going to do today when once
 again the temperature will be in the high 80's! 
Phew, much too hot for March!
So, although the spring dresses are pretty, I don't have any! Instead I'm delving into
 my storage box today for a pair of lightweight grey linen trousers and a short sleeved 
white t-shirt.
 Today I'm not planning on wearing anything heavy, fuzzy, cozy or black!






I may wear pretty earrings though - I love these from ZARA.

Lifestyle changes are imminent here
We're beginning to feel uncomfortably pudgy as we head into
our third week at home.

Our usual mealtimes - around 10:30 AM for breakfast, no lunch, then the heavy
 main meal around 6:30 PM - are going to change. 
We'll now try an earlier breakfast and our main meal at 5 PM with no snacking at all! 
 More walking of course - more gardening - more cottage decluttering!

Are you finding good sleep hard and waking in the night? I've never had 
that problem before and it's awful.
Now I toss and turn, get up, walk around, read a few pages, even went to the
 kitchen and made warm milk one night (considered splashing in some 
brandy but didn't!).  Waiting for the grandfather clock to strike the hour is not
fun, especially when it's 3 or 4 in the morning!

Are you sleeping less? Eating more? Getting exercise in your garden
 or aimlessly walking mostly empty neighborhood streets?

Are there things you regret not having done before lockdown?
I wish now I'd had my sewing machine repaired - started growing out my 
grey hair a few months ago then I'd be halfway there - had my nail gal
cut my gel nails very short two weeks ago - bought garden plants and 
potting soil last week. 
I wish I was younger and could be of more help to others - but I'm 
glad I'm older in case the world changes so much that I would find it 
really hard to cope. Oops, I said no gloom and doom today. . . . . .so 
I think I'll stop here.

Sending good thoughts to you all. . . . . . . stay safe and keep blogging.
