I was up early today because after all Wednesday is Weight Watchers Day for me. I try to sleep until about 7:30, get up and shower and dress, make Hubby his breakfast, as I run out the door carrying my coffee and a piece of fruit. I mean, heaven forbid that I eat or drink anything until after I weigh in! I’ve even been known to weigh my clothes before selecting what to wear. (Insert loud laughter here, Please!)
Today I got up, went through the morning ritual, and headed to the next town for the meeting. I got there, and put my stuff down on my chair, took off my shoes and weighed in. I didn’t expect anything either way, but when she told me I’d lost another 2 pounds, I almost fell over! I have lost a total of 33 pounds!!! Yippee!!!
The meeting was fun and funny and when I left I felt happy and upbeat. I drove home along the country roads where the trees are blooming and the air is so clear that the mountains just stood out in the distance! Ah, such beauty!
When I arrived home I noticed that our own trees are blooming fast. Our peach trees are just the most beautiful trees right now with their full pink flowers and the plum trees with their dainty white ones.
A lovely Elberta Peach blossom.
Now a little further up the drive we have the Stanley Plum tree. Normally you would think about this plum as a Prune, but I make jam with it!

The apple trees are just starting to open, and the cherry trees are past. The pear trees are not as full of blossoms as in past years, but I hope that we will have at least a few.
Since I keep my tomatoes in patio pots I am able to start them early and move them inside if the nights get too cold. You can see that they are really doing well so far.
I think I will really be happy when the garden and the trees begin to bear fruit and vegetables that we can eat. Diets are so much more fun when you can eat fresh produce!
that peach blossom pic is amazing!!! Beautiful 🙂
and congrats! You are doing SO well, I’m so happy for you!
The peach blossoms are truly gorgeous! I had no idea they looked like that. We have a lot of plum, apple and cherry trees around here but you rarely see a peach tree.
And way to go on those 33 lbs! I wish I had your dedication.
Beautiful pictures Mom! Everything is looking good! Congrats again on your weight loss for the week. I’m about to go weigh in myself!
Have a great day and love you lots!

Love your post – you deserves it!
The fauna has exploded in Oslo, Norway the last week too – had such a lovely, warm and sunny weather you know.
That means we are well prepared for our constitutional day; the 17th of May 🙂
Mmm fresh produce is the best 🙂 Congrats on your continued weight loss!!
Gorgeous photos, esp. the closeups! It must run in the family! : )
