Here Comes the Sun
It was a chilly, rainy day yesterday, but I still had a good one! I was on track with food all day, and I got plenty of activity, burning over 2600 calories. In fact, to prevent having too large a deficit, I had to have a good-sized snack in the evening.
I have aday off today, but wouldn't you know it—the sun is shining. So far, the forecast for the rest of the week is cloudy and rain, but at least we're on a warming trend. It's getting tiresome having to bring so many plants indoors every night. Luckily, the pressure is on customers—they have graduations and Memorial Day coming up, so they're all hoping to get their flowers planted soon. So we are busy, which is good. All this cloudy weather will be really good for planting. Our scorchingly strong sun can be really hard on recent transplants, so the cloudy weather gives them a chance to get established without additional stress.
It looks like it will be warm enough, that I'm thinking about getting another couple of hanging baskets planted today, and maybe some of the garden plants. The hummingbirds are back from their winter vacation, and they will be hungry for the sage plants I got for them.
