    I already do.  Most of the time I do my daily walk with a friend.  I would like to start walking in the woods more or around the lake.  That's a goal I have set for summer.

    Yes, I knew I was!  Better although it is still a huge challenge to avoid it.

    Consider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?
