M is for My Morning

My morning yesterday was fairly routine, or some might use the word boring, but that's okay. I like boring. Here it goes.

I got up a little before 7 am after laying in bed for a while. I like to plan my day before I rise and shine.

After I got up, I checked my email and logged into my fitness program. I am rewarded at work for participating in the fitness program, so I try to do that first thing before I forget. This is my temporary office while construction is going on. Wally got me that chair for Christmas. It's a gaming chair but is quite comfortable as an office chair.

Then I went to our temporary mini kitchen in the living room for a bowl of cereal.

I watched TV while I ate. I turned on one of the morning shows without the sound and read the news crawlers. That's usually how I know if anything significant happened overnight.

Then it was time to release the cats from the basement where they spent the night. Annie was quite vocal about me joining her here, but I had other things to do.

 Ward and I were off to do some errands. We took the back roads, and it was a pretty drive.

The first stop was the recycling station to drop off some cardboard and metal.

The next stop was Lowes for some mulch. So much to choose from.
The winner? The kind that was on sale.

I managed to get out without buying any plants. That's an old sale sign, or I might have been more tempted.

Next up was Costco for a fill-up.

After getting home, Ward and I were able to get two beds weeded and mulched before the rain hit. The main goal of the mulching was to slow down the weeds
while we're waiting to plant more things.

Although the sun was hot, I enjoyed being outside, where the colors are so vibrant this time of year. The crabapple is blooming.

And the cherry tree is just beginning.

As is this apple tree. We rarely get apples from this tree, but it is pretty in the spring.

Then it was time for lunch and a shower before heading off to work. So there you have it, My Morning.

Until next time...
