-- Took pup on short ride while I dropped off absolutely ancient electronics for recycling.

-- Filled all but two flower containers with multi-colored Pansies as it's still too early, and the soil is not yet friable, to add color to the landscaping. What a visual relief to have some color after the drab and recalcitrant winter weather we've had this "Spring"!

Once the weather truly stays warm (for more than a day) I will plant two container herb cutting gardens for cooking/kitchen use.

-- Swept up detritus around fence by alley.

-- Brought out and connected garden hoses.

-- Plotted scheme for dividing and transplanting various plants in flower beds.

-- Took bike to nearby auto repair shop to get tires inflated and ended up on spontaneous 4-mike bike ride through various parks in this gorgeous, sunny weather. Great feeling how the gym workouts on stationary bike have paid off. The ride was easy-peasy even against the wind.

-- Fought off the urge to get a new puppy... sheesh, this time of year there are sooooo many people out walking/training with their adorable puppies that it's tempting to get one!

-- Resting now before tackling a minor woodworking project (which will also involve a table saw).

-- Planning on a very long walk with the pup early this evening - she deserves it.

-- Then for dinner a because I dare say that I deserve it. Maybe a tonight...
