Is spring here?

We have signs of spring, but March is sneaky, so I am not getting my hopes up. There are buds on the new lilac bushes, that were given to me as a memorial to Jim,(my late husband). He loved lilacs, he would go out to our old bushes on pick bouquets and put them on table. This is the only time he picked flowers, he loved the smell of them. These are new lilacs, they are suppose to bloom from spring to fall. I am looking forward to seeing what they do.
I am taking Water Aerobics, at the Metro Center. a gym with all facilities. It is a hard workout but fun, and meeting new people is fun. After Aerobics, we use the whirlpool heated tub, that is awesome. Now if I go the weight room and couple days and week and follow up with walking and use my stationary bike, I should start seeing results, now for the hard part. doing these things at a regular basis. I am determined.
I am eating mostly chicken, fish, and turkey, but today I am going to have old fashioned pot roast. Yum.
In a couple weeks, I am going to have a new experience, I am going to drive to Maryland, accompanied by my son, I have never driven 14 hour before, I think I am going to take it in two days. I can do it, but itis a little scary for me, but I can't be wimp.
Well, going to finish spring house cleaning my room. See ya!

spring?

It feels like spring, but mother nature is just playing with us, isn't she?
I feel like I would like to plant seeds, and bulbs, but, I know, I can't, so I guess I will plan on what I want to plant.
It is almost the weekend, and lately I like to hibernate on the weekend, and I probably should not, but I love my home, and I do not always do anything useful. I may lay around watching tv, or clean, cook, or read. I just enjoy being home, and almost always by myself. There are thoughts around me, from friens, that I spend too much time by myself, but what else should I do. I am alone.!! I am not feeling sorry for my self just a statement of fact.
Maybe I need to start a couple fun projects like doing my scrapbooking, teaching myself jewelry making. I do need to learn more about how to use the computer and I could improve my blog, by putting music on it. What I am working on is getting my self to start walking, biking and really really get serious about my diet.
What is everybody else up to this spring?
