It has been 138 Days since I began posting my Daily Food Diary! ππΊ
Yesterday, I blew my nutrition goals again BUT once again, the extra calories were justified.
Yesterday, grandson Rory came over to help clean up our front yard.Β He did the heavy work of raking up the lawn, but I cleaned up two big flower beds and and I helped him bag all of his hard work. (Several bags!)

It will be a few days before Rory can come back to work up the garden planters for me. It rained all night and it doesn’t look like we will be seeing any sunshine until next weekend. It is frustrating, but it will be nice to see the city turn fresh and green.
Molly and I took another solo trip around the neighborhood yesterday, after Rory left. The humidity makes it harder for me to walk, but hopefully we can keep getting out there this week.
Dan is here and he is fine, but the cold wet weather is affecting his joints so he has been focussed on working in the garage. I can’t wait for him to finish the new planters he is building. I think I have enough plants to fill them, but that remains to be seen.

Nice photo of you and your grandson, Anne and how thoughtful of him to come to assist with your heavy yard work. These dreary, drizzly days have me in a down mood, so kudos to you for keeping a positive spin on it.

Thank you, Terry. We don’t see Rory often since he’s “all grown up” so it was a special day. And he did way more, way quicker, than Dan or I could! I might be bonkers after another week of this. π
