No Fooling, It's April!!!

**JoThrive** · 04-01-12, 06:00 PM

April is such a lovely month. Here in the Rocky Mountains it is actually springtime in April, although we could still have snow and frigid weather. But the early flowers are blooming, the trees are beginning to show their new leaves, and there is a mellow feel to the air.

So it is April, and what are we going to do about it? Personally I plan to make April a good month for me.

During the month of April I will be as active as I can manage to be. I will do the necessary yard work. I will walk, as waling is one of the best of all possible exercises. And I will finish up my just-started spring cleaning.

As for eating - I plan to continue to stress the good foodsin my daily eating - the veggies, the fruits, the lean meats, the legumes. These are foods that are good for m. Why should I eat "junk" when so many good foods are available for me!

So I'm planning to enjoy April and the springtime. It's a lovely time of year for us all.

CCC - Welcome home, my friend. It's always good to get home after a vacation, isn't it? And I'm sure that your bosses at both of your jobs are glad to have you back working once again. Unpacking takes a bit of time, but it will get done.

Aria - Thanks for stopping in here at the RS forum. It's always nice to see you.

The weather in Wonderful Wyoming is begiinning to warm up now after our most recent snow which was last Monday. The fresh snow looks so lovely on the top of our mountain. My DH and I are planning to go shopping later today, just for the fun of it. Our shopping trip will also include luncheon, probably at Red Lobster, which is always nice.

Let's smile at the world today, and the world will smile back at us.

Yes, it will.

CCC - I'm sure the bosses at both of your jobs are happy tgat you are back available to work for them. It's always good to be home again after a vacation. Hope you are having a very Happy Easter!!

We are having a Happy EAster here in Wyoming today, although it is very cold here. However it is bright and sunny today.

Easter is such a happy holiday, even though it is cold. We know that with the Easter bunnies hopping down the bunny trails, that it will soon be spring weather everywhere, and that is always good.

Keep smiling --

CCC - I'm sure all the churches were packed on Easter Sunday as that is such a special time of year for all Christians. Glad you and your parents had a nice Easter dinner out. May the blessings of Easter continue with us throughout the year.

It is another cold and rainy day here in Wonderful Wyoming, and I have a meeting to attend today. Some of the spring flowers are boooming now through the cold - I have picked some daffodils and some tulips alrady, and other flowers look like they are getting ready to bloom. This is a lovely time of year for us all.

Let's stick to our healthy eating plans, and enjoy life.

CCC - It's always nice to get money back from your income tax filings. We didn't get any back this year, but maybe next year. Enjoy spending it.

It is another cold and cloudy day in Wyoming. We really didn't have a bad winter this year, but spring seems to be slow in coming.

Let's stick to our healthy eating plans, and enjoy the day.

CCC - I hope things are continuing to go well with you with your two jobs, your power walks, and youyr other activities. Has spring come to New York State? It's coming nicely to Wonderful Wyoming.

In fact when I get through with his post I will go out to our little garden and plant some radishes. We are expecting a bit of rain tonight, and if I get the radishes in the ground before the rain, that'll be a good thing.

Let's all keep on plugging along, doing the best we can. Remember, eating healthy foods does more to keep us healthy than does the eating of junk foods. Yep, that is a fact we should all remember.

Keep smiling -

spring very briefly came to nys last friday. temps were in the high 70's/low 80's on friday. hung 3/4 of the wash outside to dry. smelled great when i took it down. ran errands today after i worked out at curves. we're going out to celebrate mom's birthday again on saturday. one of the clubs we belong to gives members $10.00 off their dinner bill during the month of their birthday. we're going with a family friend who is also a member of that club and who also has an april birthday.

CCC - Sounds like you are having a pleasant spring in NY State. It is so nice to be able to hang the washing outdoors - it gets such a nice smell. And a very Happy Birthday to your mother. That's nice that that club helps people celebrate birthdays that way - helps make things special.

We are having a spell of very cold weather here in Wonderful Wyoming after a few days of very warm weather. Right now we are having a mix of rain and snow, but I know the bad weather won't last long.

Have a blessed Sunday, plus a great week.

we had a nice dinner out tonight. had intended to take some clothes to the thrift shop today but it was closed today. that was unusual for it to be closed on saturday.
