Just got thru cleaning house or part of it don't want to clean all of it at once or I won't have anything to do tomorrow .
I noticed my red Mexican sunflowers have sprouted, really like these for their beautiful red crimson color. My Jimmy Nardello Italian sweet pepper seeds have finally sprouted, sweetest pepper of all.
In the reading dept I'm currently reading "Ambler Warning" by Robert Ludlum it hasn't been a real page turner, hope I can find a good one soon.
Have a nice day

I'm still alive and relatively in good shape and spirits.
I don't know if I'll ever get used to not being able to ride my bike, getting older sucks.
It's time to put out plants so I got out yesterday and planted some Cayenne and Jalapeno peppers. I've already got a sweet pepper planted.
I plan on putting out some sunflower seeds soon since we have rain forecast in a few days.
These past 8 months have been rough, ear infection, and a mysterious sickness that lasted for about 2 1/2 months. A friend suggested that it was long COVID, that's what it felt like. Then along with everything else I made a stupid step wrong and kinked my back which is still bothering me but I'm dealing with it.
If you follow me at all you may remember Roger who rode bikes with me and Jerry, well Roger had a stroke and passed away just recently. I've sat with Roger at the Fuel Center and had coffee for the past 3 or 4 yrs every day and now it's really rough with him no longer there, rest in peace Roger.
I've got to get back into reading, it's sometimes difficult to find a good book and thats why I hate to finish a good one.
Have a nice day

Well it's been awhile since I've posted, maybe I'll remember how this works.
I've only rode the bike a few times in the last two years due to arthritis in my neck, seems that riding position tends to aggravate it.
I have been riding my indoor bike in the afternoon to try and maintain some sort of fitness. I've cycled all my life and love it extremely hard to quit but if it hurts enough you'll quit.
I've got the arthritis under control with Meloxicam thank goodness, neck pain isn't good, to close to he brain, headaches.
I do keep busy in the summer with my pepper plants and animals. I walk the dogs around a half mile trail around my woods twice a day so that also helps keep me active.
My pepper plants are what really keeps me busy, this year I planted Tabasco, Mild Jalapeno, Thai ornamental, Cayenne, Shishito and the popular Italian Jimmy Nardello Sweet pepper, the sweetest pepper I've had.
