Hi

 The mister bought a new patio umbrella for our bistro furniture in our garden. Although that area of the garden is not exposed to the sun in the afternoon, but by that time the mosquitoes are everywhere.

Mosquitoes aren't active in the morning, so it is best to enjoy outdoor dining before noon.

Friday, I had to go out of the house early for an appointment. The boy offered to drive me to my destination. It didn't take long, and we were already home after 30 minutes. 

We had Caffè Latte and Cinnamon Rolls. I baked the rolls the previous night using King Arthur's recipe of the year.  Surprisingly, the recipe has less ingredients than the recipe I usually use. It was indeed pillowy soft, and it didn't disappoint.

For lunch, I fulfilled a promise to my son that we'd buy lunch at the food trucks at the nearby park. This event, Key City Food and Farm Market runs from May 7 to September 3, only on Fridays from 11 am to 3 pm. 

The mister and I had Vegan Falafel sandwich from Three Daughters Food truck. The boy had Pit Beef Sandwich from the Moose Pit Food Truck.

We ate our sandwiches at the park too.

I also bought a dozen pack of  fresh pastured eggs from a local farm, Good Soil Farm. I wished I bought a bulb of their German garlic, to use and to plant some. Well, maybe next time. 

Saturday was nice. It was cooler so we had our coffee outside, and spent most of the day there too. I did some cleaning at our farmacy, transferred some plants that didn't do well at their current location. Some I transplanted into pots that I put in our greenhouse, and some into vacant spaces in one garden bed. 

Tomorrow is another week. I can't wait to list new items in my online shop. 

Full speed ahead!

The Walkathoner

I have been walking (with a little bit of running) more than I used to for the past few months already. It's like I am a walkathoner now, except it's not for a charity or a fundraising event. Since 2014, my goal per week was at least 21 miles. Starting mid of this year, I upped it to 30 miles per week. I think I am doing good. I don't walk around our cul-de-sac anymore, but at the park.

One morning, the other week, I was a bit worried since I was feeling weak, and I had a slight fever. The mister was sick first and then a week later, it was me. I opted to stay in bed most of the day, and recuperate. You know, I had to feel better for the rest of the week because I had a goal---the 30 miles. As I said before, since eating mostly plant based food, recovery is sooooo quick whenever I get sick. Two days later, I was back at the park walking again.

Dear readers, this is my "gym." It's beautiful and  most of all, it is ((( FREE ))).

I see this around the park and in our neighborhood. I hope Diesel finds his way home.

Yesterday, at the park. #frederickmd

It says "FREE PORTRAIT".

Pokestop

For the past months, I have earned from 27 to 40 miles per week. From Sunday to yesterday, it's a total of 21.54 miles already. Goal is 30 miles for this week.

As far as I can remember, I have a sedentary lifestyle. I have never been into sports, but crafts, and arts. I love to stay at home. I do not know exactly what I am now, but I am certain that I am a couch potato no more.

Let's do this, Lili. Rain or shine!
