I’ve given up on my nails. At least for now. My goodness do my fingers hurt. My nails hurt, the pads of my fingers hurt. Thankfully the soreness in my knee, ankle, shoulder and hip joints has passed. That is probably because we’re taking small breaks now. 30 to 45 minutes here, an hour there. Earlier on I was using our much larger soaking tub A LOT. The quote
I always seem to feel this way when I haven’t written in a while and yet in the past I always find myself at a loss of words. What can I share that is noteworthy? What can I share that would be interesting. Now instead I find myself overwhelmed. There is just so much, too much to share. How can I capture all the moments in a simple blog entry?
Wow, the past few days have been…odd, filled with things we never get much time or money to do. We arrived here to Washington DC, in the Falls Church, Tysons Corner side on Friday and since then we’ve been sightseeing, people watching, watching movies, museum visiting and shopping.

I can say now, in hindsight, I am so glad I never put a massive amount of effort into beautifying our front yard
Well, most definitely the star of the garden this year are the SUNCHOKES.I highly recommend this plant as it seemed that the less attention we gave it, the more it appreciated it.
