This week has been a fairly good one. I'm still sticking to my workouts, though I pulled my back on Monday doing so. I rested some yesterday and used the heating pad, which helped a lot.  My back is still sore, but doing much better today. On a terrific note, I've dropped another inch in my waist in my weight loss pursuit! Yea!! I'm very happy about that and just gives me more encouragement to keep on going!

More good news...my flowers have started to  BLOOM!! Yes, my 'Commander in Chief' lilies are blooming..bright red and gorgeous!! I have only two open right now, but a few more that are ready to in the next day or so. I planted them just a month ago, so wasn't sure if they'd bloom this season or not. But they have!  My other day lily stems have 3-7 buds on each plant!! Awesome!! They will look terrific once they've all bloomed!! I have some weeding to do, but the flowers look great! My marigolds and forget-me-nots are still in the early stages of growth and none have any flowers yet...so still waiting. But I can be patient.  I'm going to post pics of my first blooms later today if I can.
