It's Monday, so I Best Be Working

Today was the first day in what promises to be quite a busy week. Because it's the end of the month I'm busy editing submissions from my site. Today I worked on the Writing Corner submissions so I was reading stories and poetry most of the day. Boy there are some creative kids out there. I love editing this section! Every e-mail is an original and I love to see what kids are thinking about these days.

The sun was out today and it actually felt like summer. When I took the dogs for their regular noon time walk I found myself looking for shade to walk in to keep cool. Coming up the street and alongside our property I had a lovely surprise. My clematis had its first flower. It put a smile on my face and so I have made it my picture of the day. I hope you like it a much as I do. Isn't God's colour palette wonderful?

This afternoon Reebs and I took a break from work and went to the gym. We both managed to walk/run 3 miles. What a workout! By the time I'm done, I'm pretty pooped but also quite pleased with myself for being able to exert myself like that. I'm sure one day I'll lose a few pounds too.

This evening I went for a walk with a dear friend. There's nothing better than walking and talking and solving a few problems along the way. We walked along the boardwalk down by the lake and surprisingly it was still on the warm side even down there. The setting sun cast a beautiful shimmering reflection on the lake.
