April 18, 2009

I'm glad to report that the daffodils managed to peak their flowers out this week. Not all of them mind you, but enough to qualify as spring. That and the forsythia are in bloom makes one hopeful the cold, cold weather is behind us. A quiet week on our front with Joann actually being in town for four days during the work week and her only travel was an in-and-out jaunt to New Jersey. Quite an accomplishment and I'm almost getting used to her being around again. Of course, she heads off to Istanbul, Turkey in a week so it's not like she is giving up her jet setting ways. She still wants to become a super platinum flyer on American before the end of the year. Only another 40,000 miles to go....

I had my usual mix of work and play. Really nothing spectacular to report this week. Much of Pfizer is waiting to see what we will be structured like post-Wyeth so it is business as usual for much of the company. My exercise continues with a mix of running - still in a running suit so far, it hasn't yet warmed up enough for shorts and a T-shirt - lifting and our weekend yoga class. Seems to be enough to keep my sore, but not enough to help lose any weight.

This weekend was finally warm enough to really start tackling gardening chores. We spent today moving some flowers around in the front beds and getting summer bulbs in the ground. Out in the vegetable garden, another crop of peas went in along with carrots and onions. A little rain would be good and some is promised for tomorrow and next week. We have one or two pea plants starting to push their way up and several of our lettuce varieties are already underway, as you can see from the photo. We are heading out to dinner tonight with Deb and Rich for Mexican - yummy, you can't go wrong with a cheese and bean (or beef, or chicken) burrito loaded up with sour cream. Not good for the arteries, but oh so good for the soul.
