A Snake, Free Plants and a Vintage Bag

Monday was a good day -- ordinary, but one of those unexpectedly nice days.

It started with my morning "things" that included a bit more of a yoga "workout" and an easy 3 mile walk to rest my back.  On the walk I dropped off a couple of rocks (and borrowed 2 more).  I was down at the creek fire pit scoping a place and I just missed stepping on a big black rat snake (harmless and helpful snake -- but STILL!).  Hightailed it out of there before I got a picture.

Quick shot of the big face rock I left on the stairs -- and my shadow.  No lingering after the snake sighting so no time to get my shadow out of the way!




Afternoon was hanging with hubby on the porch (and the 4 dogs).  It was a breezy afternoon and we chatted before he left for the airport.

When he got on the road, I worked on Spanish, prepped the big rocks I grabbed earlier and happened to check FB (related to something else).  A new neighbor posted free veggie plants because she ran out of room in her garden.  Yes please!  Got a squash and a tomato plant PLUS some great gardening information.  She has a beautiful garden already this year.  All from seeds -- starts in January and has an indoor greenhouse.  Wow.  She's a good resource for my itty bitty garden and the big gardening woes.  

I ordered another raised pot and am heading to Pike's for more supplies.  I need to move some things around after talking with her.  I can't tell what is growing well in my pots and what isn't.  I might be too much of a helicopter mom and killing my plants with attention -- hah!

Life coaching this afternoon.  Stay tuned ...

Hoping for anther peaceful day.  Lots of me-time doing things that ground me.  I'm getting more and more relaxed with this lifestyle -- gardening, creative stuff, plant-based cooking, Spanish, etc.  I like it.

Oh, and got a goodie from Etsy.  I've been eyeing this bag for a bit -- 1970s and my current favorite color. It's big enough to actually use (i.e. fit glasses and phone).  The owner packaged it in a vintage scarf. Got me in a mood for more vintage bags that I can use (I have some evening clutches) -- 2 other bags on the way.  Stay tuned.




Hubby arrived in Paris and is on a second flight to his destination in France.  He comes home Friday night.

As I said, I'm looking forward to another good day -- but the "second day jinx" is on my mind.  Have a good day -- next day is the pits.  Not scientific, but it seems to hold true lately (hormones -- I think when I get a big up, it's followed by a big down).  Fingers crossed.

I guess I (we) can decide to have a good day -- so let's have a good day.  Stay well.  Later gators.
