Ahh the Sweet smell of Spring!

I have been battling the desire to stay in bed for the past few mornings.
Why? Because I really need to get some excercise and the best form is walking. However---the bugs are AWFUL...I don't think I can really accentuate how horrible they really are.
So... I thought..if I could get up at 6 a.m. I can get a 45 minute walk in before they get bad.
Mosquitoes & Blackflies.
Evil little things.
Besides the fact...I am way too busy during the day to fit in that time for a walk.
This morning..I got up and out the door just before 6:30. Better late than never right!?
I put my bug jacket on anyhow--just incase! I really didn't want to spray myself with bugspray.
So..I went! A lovely morning it was---the scent is sweet out there. There are trilliums blooming right now, in the woods...just gorgeous.
I heard rustling in the trees--I looked over and saw a deer running back into the woods.
Then just up the road... a fox ran out just a few feet in front of me.
So cool! Things you don't see when you are snoring in bed. It's truly blissful. The sound is amazing as well. Many different birds singing their songs.
I only saw a couple of bugs...and that was nearing 7 a.m.
Hopefully tomorrow..I can manage to get up just a bit earlier..to go a bit further.
I have been very busily baking. I had 2 cake orders for Wed. And I have one for Friday- & A Wedding Cake for Saturday as well as another birthday cake order! 
Things are great!
My hubby is thoroughly enjoying his new job. He is currently training right now...a lot of reading and saftey training.
There is a deeper peace in our home that has been missing for a long time.
I didn't realize the underlying stress that was in the air for so long.
At Canadian Tire...he was doing piece work. --- For Example..if someone came in for an oil change...and the oil change pays 1/2 hour. Let's say he runs into a problem and for some weird reason that oil change takes an hour. He only gets the 1/2 hour.
It wasn't a salary. Sometimes he would come home from work with just 4 hours pay for the day (despite the fact that he worked longer than 8 hour days).
And that happened often.---They needed customers in order to have work & get paid.
So..now it's salary. There is no question that he will get at least 8 hours a day! And there is many chances for overtime.
He is way more relaxed..and that just flows into our home.
I am truly thankful to GOD for this!
Have a great day everyone! I am off to bake!

Thank you for telling me that! That is just more encouragement for me to get moving. I know that once I develop the habit..I'll wake up automatically.

The insects are bothersome (here too). Sometimes I use a spray or a lotion against the mosquitos and the tick's.

That new job sounds really great! I wonder how such working conditions as with the old job are allowed anyhow. I think only some people can take this for a long time without getting serious stress problems.

Thanks Marie...the new job is such a huge blessing!
This week has been a better week for walks..cool & windy...that won't last though...once that wind dies down..
Elke..I use a spray normally...& will probably have to get more used to doing that if I want to enjoy my walks!
Anne..I am exactly like you...they love me!
I know what you mean about the old job...that is the way it works there..and if it was a busier place..well, it would have been alright...
We are just so super thrilled to have gotten into this new one...It' made a huge difference.
