It is out Kroger Tuesday day today, so we will be heading out for the weekly shopping and bargain hunting fun pretty soon. It is still chilly, but slowly getting warmer.
What Are You Doing Today?

For lowering blood pressure I have beet root powder with raw cacao powder mixed in warm (not hot) water to help it dissolve. You can add a jigger of pomegranate juice.

My ex sister-in-law said every time her oven got too dirty they would move. Not sure if she was kidding. I am surprised how difficult it is to clean today. I used to clean houses as a side hustle, although we didn't call it that back then. It was always easier to clean someone else's house because you could stand back and see the results and leave. Here I can stand back and see the results in one area and someone comes in and messes it up again. I can't leave.I am finished cleaning my oven and it kicked my ass. It wasn’t even all that dirty. All I wanted was the oven splatters to be cleaned up, and my oven racks to be sparkly. Every inch of my old body hurts. I’m finished for the day.
Next time I will just buy a new stove.

Did my morning routine, and am now on SOC. I will be transplanting starts now that I have more room upon which to place the trays and flats, and this is Kroger Day here too, so we will be going in to town to do church deposits, shopping and such later today.

I'm going to need the recipe for your snack cake, Krys.That sounds so good.
I posted the recipe over in the recipe section. I posted a couple of pictures of it, which I will remove later on, since I didn't take the time to use imgur.
To me it tastes sort of like a big fluffy pancake. My husband says to him, it just tastes good.

I need to sit up and pay attention to these holistic recipes for high BP. ^^^^
I unloaded the horse feed I bought yesterday. Other than getting the horses fed 3X today , I haven’t done anything else.
I’m waiting for High Potential to come on ABC. I love that show.
Curse of Oak Island is on at the same time. I record that and will watch it at a later date.

We got up at 6 am to prepare to go to have a blood test ( both of us ) I went to have one yesterday while hubby was at the doctors but it was going to be a very long wait ….41 people before me , never ever seen so many waiting and think it was most likely caused by the Easter break of 4 days with next to nothing open ( shops were only open for a short while on Saturday )
We was standing on the doorstep of the pathology at 7 am this morning ….waiting for it to open at .7.30 am …we was first in …( hubs was given a form to have a blood test while at the doctors yesterday as well) …….so both got it over and done with this morning

Right now, I am at McDonald’s, having spent 32 minutes walking here, because I have to get all my daily exercise in during the last few hours of the day, because I dismantled my old elliptical glider, having worn it out, and haven’t put the new one together yet, or done any other exercise. A walk to McDonald’s and back, taking a longer route, gets at least my minimums in. I’m just having coffee so don’t nag me about calories.

My watch was still running while in the dentist so it shows 1 hour and 23 mins ….my heart rate at dentist …119 BPM …did I mention ….I dislike dentists
Here we get a free small coffee if we spend $5 on food …..and show our state seniors card

@Kate Ellery, it's about a mile and a half, but I take a circuitous route to get my exercise time in. In total, it was just over 4 miles.

Down to weeding, seeding, planting 75 gladiolas and mulching of about 1/4 of the back yard. Then transplanting all the vegetable babies from the garage and hot tub enclosure. I want my space back!

@Ken Anderson -- I wouldn't have been able to pass up the Blue Ox.
Today we're planting a few things that I couldn't resist at the garden center yesterday. Some new purple fountain grasses to replace the shabby ones by the pool, a couple of pink hibiscus for large clay pots, some mini day lillies in yellow, and some gorgeous purple salvia for the flower bed. I also bought a small false aralia for my patio collection and a light pink Christmas cactus. Happy dance!!

I've never been to Maine. It looks like there's a strong Canadian influence in those names. It makes sense...I just never thought about it.

I love purple fountain grass. There is nothing like surrounding your comfort zone with all those beautiful flowers and plants to relax around and admire.@Ken Anderson -- I wouldn't have been able to pass up the Blue Ox.

I'm cleaning bathrooms and doing some light cleaning around the house. My husband has gone fishing this morning with his fishing buddy, and I can usually get a lot of work done when he is not underfoot. 
I am enjoying my short term solitude.
