Moon Flower Seeds are Ready

Back in August I showed you my moon flowers in bloom. Several of you requested seeds and I'm happy to announce that the seed heads are dry and I've collected all of their goodness.

If you emailed or commented that you wanted some, I've popped them in the mailbox and sent you an email to let you know they're on the way. I have a few extra sets of seeds if anyone is interested. Just email me with your address and I'll send them on their way.

I hope you're having a great weekend.

FYI: I almost have 100 Tidy Followers (see box on sidebar). When I reach that special 100 mark I'll be having another give-away. Thanks to all of you who already follow. You all are the greatest!

How To Make Your Own Exercise Bike For Next To Nothing

Remember back in April when I had a kidney transplant? Well, the kidney is doing great (thanks, Cathy , for taking such good care of it when you owned it). There was one little glitch, however. During surgery, the retractors they used caused some nerve damage in my right leg. When I woke up from surgery, I couldn't move or feel my leg. The docs felt like the feeling would come back but the paralysis had them stumped. A visit to a neurologist ruled out a stroke and a CT scan showed some fluid which was pressing on L4 and L5 (medical talk which means I couldn't feel or move part of my leg).

I've been itching to get back to exercising (physical therapy doesn't count) because my medication causes me to gain weight and I need to burn some calories. Running? - n...

Plans For A DIY Exercise Bike Stand

Thank you to so many of you who emailed me about plans for the DIY Exercise Bike Stand . I apologize that it has taken me so long to get the measurements to you, but they are finally here! The wood was purchased at Home Depot and the bike pegs were purchased at Walmart in the bike section. The bike we used for this project is a 24" 12 speed bike (I'm a shorty). I used the hardest gear while riding, but this set-up does not allow you to really get much resistance (for building muscle). It was great for getting my legs moving after some nerve damage. I also wanted to burn calories and get my heart rate up and this did the trick. If you have any questions, just shoot me an email.

The Last Harvest

Couldn't help but fall in love with this sunflower in my garden last month. The older grandfellas helped me harvest the last of the tomatoes and peppers before the first cold snap of autumn. Goodbye summer, thank you for your warm, sunny days.
