3. Every spring I have to relearn this.

I keep reminding myself that I need to set a timer on my phone - 30 minutes - then take a break. I try to do no more than 2 30-minute sessions in a day or I'm paying for it for several.

I am batting .500 in remembering the first time. This year, I broke my foot, so until I have surgery, I'm pretty much sitting on my porch looking at my weeds and the perennials that need to be divided. I might get hubs to do that for me later today as well as digging out spreading rose clumps.

It's been full on spring here in North Texas. We have had LOTS of rain here too. The wildflowers are abundant. flying_wahini Apr 2024 #2
