Check out these photos. I had to take them thru the window, because of the snow outside, but loved what I photographed (cannot wait to upgrade my camera soon). There was a woodpecker enjoying the bird feeder later in the day, but the bugger was playing with me, and kept flying off before I could snap one photo, ha ha!
Look at the top of the photo.
A blog follower asked for the hamstring stretches that I was given by one of my daughters. Here they are, but check out anything on Youtube too. There are exercises on there that were also helpful.
I also did floor stretches in addition, and ate a well balanced diet etc. Good advice I was given one day, is 80% of maintaining your health (good weight, or weight loss) happens in the kitchen.

Although I did some bits of deep cleaning yesterday, I realized my pile of paperwork that needs shredded is growing. Our paper shredder broke down, and we do not have a burn barrel here. If you have suggestions for a good quality paper shredder to buy, please let me know. Otherwise, I will be looking for community shredding events (if they still have them).
I whipped up a batch of red lentil hummus for us to enjoy. I do think, so far, it's our favorite of all the hummus recipes I have made, and I have made a lot of different ones (pumpkin, black bean, beet, roasted red pepper, green pepper, other white bean, butternut). I adapted a recipe I located online, but added more garlic and a can of chickpeas. I will have to see if I shared the recipe on my blog. If anyone is interested.
We have warmed up to 12°F this morning. I am hoping the icy driveway melts away soon.
I have some new recipes lined up to try. One I thought would be "new" to us, is not really. It's basically a frittata with added spinach to it.
I have some new crochet patterns lined up to use up some crochet thread. We'll see if it all happens or not. I want to finish the current baby blanket too.

We just had to buy a new paper shredder on Amazon since ours went kaput. It was cheaper just to get a new one instead of trying to take the time to track down a public shredder.
Blessings,

I loved reading what you are doing and thinking. I am glad both of out weathers have warmed.
