April 2015 Happenings

 On April 1st our 100 Days Challenge Group page on Facebook was accidentally closed down. On Facebook a group of us communicated with each other the desire to continue the challenge which was to last up to April 10th at the earliest. On April 3rd Kelly from 100 Days Challenge created "My Daily Fitness Challenge Group" on Facebook. I am so thankful that she did. It not only gave us a place to continue posting our progress on our 100 days challenge but there no time limit for completion at this group site. We have congratulated each other on our completion of the 100 days challenge, continue to post our daily fitness experiences or rest days, give and receive lots of positiveness, encouragement, inspiration and friendship. A BIG THANK YOU TO KELLY.

On the 3rd of April Jess and I were shopping at Home Depot in Liberty, MO and where I noticed the beautiful blossoms on the trees in the parking lot so I photographed them. I got my activity in by walking through several stores for over an hour. 

On the 5th of April I walked over the bridge that is along the Rainbow Trail on a beautiful day. Then on the 15th of April I put together a Food and Fitness Journal to help inspire me to keep my fitness enthusiasm going and to motivate me to work on my food and nutrition.

Yippee! Jess and I finished making and painting the bird houses on April 10th.

The bird duplexes were hung up on April 11th.

 The 1st occupants were the Sparrows.

We had hoped that the Sparrows would love these dwellings. We made the birdhouses with them in mind. 

Alas :( the Sparrows have been over ruled and Black Birds of several varieties have taken over both bird houses. The above bird seems smaller and fluffier than the bird pictured below.

There has been a lot of activity at the bird homes the last few days. This excitement revolves around these larger Black Birds squabbling among themselves on who has possession of these residences.

At least there are birds that love these bird houses. In fact many birds love them. The Sparrows have gone on to their plan "B".

Jess has been diligent in making garden pavers for two weeks. It took 3 days per set of 3 and he made 4 sets. They look fabulous. THANK YOU SO MUCH JESS.
