Respect Steve. when i squat hard i feel it but what you do is crazy. I feel the fatigue in my legs maybe because i do lots of cardio. I like to hit cardio hard too.

Nothing wrong with it Steve.

We've been having great sunny and warm weather lately which means I have been out in the yard working from morning until night. Springtime is such an exciting time with the trees budding out, perennials popping up out of the soil and my favorite nursery being open for business (It closes during the winter months).

One shrub died over the winter....maybe it just got old and tired. I dug it out and planted a Miss Kim Lilac, which is a dwarf lilac that matures to about 4' tall and wide. Some rosemary I had growing off the patio also looked a bit tired. I dug it out and replace one of them with Pyracantha Mohave which will eventually cover most of the wall it is planted in front of. It is loaded with tiny white blossoms right now. In the fall it should be covered in bright orange berries which the birds like to eat. Today I am going to pick out a Nandina Domestica to fill the spot where I took out the other Rosemary plant.

My son-in-law bought a pressure washer. He has been pressure washing the front walk and driveway. It looks great like new concrete and the sometimes slippery moss is eradicated making he trek to the mailbox much safer.

You folks in the East get much worse winters than we have in western Oregon. We are in planting Zone 8. It rarely gets below freezing and when it does, it only lasts a couple of days. We did get a late snow which confused and damaged some of the less hardy bulbs I have, like Paper whites. They were busy popping up in late January only to get their leaves frostbitten. I doubt they will bloom this year.

Hope you all have a really great Easter Sunday. My wife is fixing a small leg of lamb and a honey baked ham for those who don't eat lamb. I am fixing potatoes Anna. I think we are having green beans for a vegetable. Not sure what else Margie has planned, but it sure is good that she's healthy enough to do some cooking. It is her passion. A longtime friend is joining us for dinner.
