My daughter encouraged me to try out the iFit app on her tablet that she uses with her exercise bike and for other workouts. Basically it's a bunch of different guided workout videos. I started with what

Today was a mix of activities. My granddaughter slept late after a tiring day at the lake with her mom and cousin yesterday. So the quiet morning included turns on the rowing and climbing machines, washing

*Photo: The day started at midnight with a bit of sleep in the morning. * After falling asleep around 7 pm on Saturday I woke up at midnight, grabbed my phone, found a missed call from my daughter who

Another quiet day to finish out the weekend. Ground is still super wet in a lot of areas but I was able to get some work done in the garden including weeding and transplanting more squash. Pleased to see

Today's activities have been rather low key. No sitting at my desk doing research and writing articles. No big (or even small) homestead projects planned. No visitors. No trips to town. When I wasn't moving

Having connection issues so I'll make this report quick. I was neck deep in setting up my Raspberry Pi desktop again today. Having issues with getting a Bluetooth connection to my phone. About the only

Photo: Clockwise from top left: 1) This tiny Raspberry Pi took up most of my whole day. 2) Despite the rain, some of the squash is blooming beautiful. 3) Sipping some evening tea as I write this. 4)

The day was going fairly well. No rain. Just cloudy much of the day. Fingers crossed the clouds won't start pouring out buckets this evening. Then, I broke an egg. It wasn't a freshly gathered egg from

My day could best be described as slow but steady. At least it was until around 7:00 pm. Began the day playing with grandkids. Later, I tried to settle down for some reading but kept being distracted by

It's 7 am as I'm sitting down to start on today's report, to be posted later this evening. If things go right. If the sun ever comes out enough to charge my battery bank. But first, here's where the last

Photo: Like this plant holder (made by a family friend), my day had its fair share of twists and turns - but mainly in a good fitness kind of way. I was up early taking care of little daily chores. Got

Photo: Dewberries (like blackberries, but not) grow wild all over our property. Walking around my yard today I spotted the first berries of the season. Today was a day of reading (The 100-Year Lifestyle),

Two days of rain and more on the way. Yesterday I had some major service issues that kept me from posting a report. It would have been a lame one anyway. I let the weather get the best of me and simply

For something a little different, today I'm stopping every hour or so (not precisely hourly) to note my activity. It's as much for me as for this report. 7:26 AM It's a quiet Sunday morning. Coffee is

I was really getting into the Spring weather and then the cold comes back. I've already stored away my winter clothing. This morning I was happy to find one lone sweater hanging behind the door. Yeah,

Rain, rain, rain. Just when I was getting all excited about Spring the floods come. Where I live it happens to be the lowest spot in the whole county. Great for digging a well (main well on the property

Due to technical issues I was, according to my Actifit count, one lazy lady yesterday. My phone misbehaved, ending up on the charger most of the day, so what little activity I engaged in (and it really

I use the phrase "just move" as a reminder that I don't have to be continually working out or going on fitness walks as long as I don't sit and vegetate all day. **"...a body at rest tends

In January 2020 I started a daily walking routine. The goal was to walk 20 minutes every day in 2020. Even with COVID I managed to do just that. During storms or cold weather I would throw on a YouTube

Took a rain day from my outdoor work today. It's not been a hard rain or storm ⛈️ but frequent moderate sprinkling. In between the showers I hear water drip-drip-dripping from the roof and trees. With
