Pretty, Plus Painting Progress

I took some time this afternoon to take the picture out of my camera and file or discard what was there. I ooh these in the last few days. I find I  reach for the camera more often now that I blog.

 I like to see pictures in blogs, and usually they say more than a lot of words could.

There are many flowering fruit trees,  wild and in orchards, blossoming right now.

I have always just taken them for granted.  This year I am seeing them!

Another sunset from the deck. 

 Although the color in this one is not a vivid as in some of the others I shot that night, I liked the way the bare branches are silhouetted against the sky.

  (That tree in the center is about 150 feet tall!)

And last weekend's painting progress:

Craig did the cut in trim painting I couldn't quite reach from my 8' step ladder, and

painted the  part of the stair well to the downstairs that could only be reached with the extension ladder.  I painted the lower part on Wednesday.

AND ...  I have started walking again.  I let myself be lazy for awhile!

Exercise Goal:
1000 miles on the treadmill, 

1.5 miles Wednesday

2 miles Thursday

Total walked = 314.5 miles  

Someday I will be hiking 1000 miles in National Parks!
