Flowering Trees












We were up at 6:30 this morning so I could get ready to go to water aerobics. The water was a bit cool, but I still enjoyed it. Twenty-three showed up today. I sort of prefer fewer people in the pool, so there is more room to move, but I know if not enough ladies attend, the college might decide to drop the program.
After I got home and ready for the day, Hubbie and I ran a couple of errands...to pick up yellow squash for a veggie soup for a weekend trip, and to the bank. Then, for lunch, I made fajitas from whatever was on hand. On tortillas, I placed thin slices of deli turkey, sauteed green onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers, canned black beans (rinsed to take away some sodium), chopped green chilies, and mild salsa. Then I rolled the tortillas, wrapped them in foil, and heated them in the oven.
After lunch, Mother and I went for a walk at the college lake. It was an absolutely gorgeous day for a walk. The photos above show the beautiful flowering trees near the wooden bridge at the lake. The only other people at the lake were three kids fishing...a teenage boy and his two siblings. Obviously, he is responsible for taking care of his approximately eight-year-old sister, and his approximately three-year-old brother during spring break this week.
We spent the rest of the afternoon doing things related to the trip. Supper was sauteed beef strips with onions and bell peppers, served with baked potatoes, and salad. Then Hubbie and I spent our quiet hour in individual pursuits...he reading his novel, and I researching on my laptop. Unfortunately, I encountered an install.exe window and had to find a fix for it.
Later, we watched the news and Wheel of Fortune that I'd recorded on DVR, followed by Dancing with the Stars.
