Yahoo To You

Yesterday, I resolved to write regularly on my blog. I don't want to screw up so I'm sitting at my laptop with no sense of direction.  After a deep breath, I'm off and running.

To begin, the photo you see was taken in our backyard. We feed birds all year round so there is always one to photograph. This female cardinal is looking straight at me. I enjoy capturing that moment.

I spent most of my day at home; I'm making homemade body lotion to sell at the farmer's market soon. Today was my second day spent in the kitchen. It's time consuming but fun. The essential oils I add, give them a pleasant scent. I use coconut oil, shea butter, vitamin E, aloe, olive oil, beeswax and a bit of honey in my concoction. I have an ample selection of jars in many sizes to put the lotion in once it is melted down. The beeswax pellets take a while to soften and blend with the other ingredients. 

This morning, I started my day with a walk with my next door neighbor, Carol. We usually walk for about 45 minutes every morning. It's a great way to get the body moving and the company is an additional pleasantry.

I took an aquarobics class at the Y also. I found it enjoyable although I couldn't see what the instructor was doing as she led the class. She was up to her shoulders in water so I just had to guess what moves to make. the resistance the water provides makes everything a bit more challenging to do.

I was pleased to get a call from Norma. She was a neighbor for many years but has since moved about a mile away.

Getting books published is always running through my mind, a constant companion. I'll let you know when things start to happen.

With those words, I close my blog for now.

Sleep well and come back again tomorrow.
