My start and finish line leads from and to my front door.

I use the Endomondo app to track and record my effort.

This time last year, I completed my first 5K event benefiting Sheltering Wings and followed up with a benefit for Wheeler Mission called the Drumstick Dash on Thanksgiving Day.  Having a virtual, global 5K event is a great idea.  Thanks Automattics!

Even potting benches need cleaning

Potting benches get dirty and cluttered!

We found this mottled brown laminate countertop in the sale bin.  It has been perfect for this space, my purpose and an outstanding value for $5.  It is installed at the right ergonomic height just below my elbow, which creates a space to tuck away several trash containers storing potting soil and pots.  Dividing perennials is the number one project.

This is also our central bird and squirrel feeding preparation area.  Our fly-in diner serves suet cakes, corn on the cob, thistle, hummingbird nectar, various mixes for wild birds and when the price is right….peanuts.

Cleaned and ready for another season.
