The bean plants and the balloon haven’t changed much since last week.
Bean plants:

(The two little blossoms that were on the plant on the left dropped off, no attempt to produce a pod.)
Notice the snow outside! The picture was taken yesterday morning when we had a brief snow shower. Then the sun came out and the snow melted.
Balloon:

The roots of the sweet potato are growing, and the top is starting to spout.

I was thinking about a fun way to work on my dynamic balance and thought of dancing. So I asked Claude AI. It said,
Even 20–30 minutes of dancing 2–3 times per week can produce meaningful improvements in balance within 6–8 weeks. The best part: it rarely feels like exercise.
That sounds good to me, so I started looking on YouTube for dance videos that are safe and fun to try. I found a few that fit the bill. I’m streaming them to my TV set using the Roku YouTube channel, so it’s easy to watch as I do them.
In the process I found this video, which I’ve saved and will try.
The big change, of course, is tonight those of us in the U.S. have to switch our clocks for Daylight Saving Time. If that doesn’t signal that winter is over, I don’t know what does.

Awesome news
…stay balanced!
I have been trying to do this walk the line, started 3 days ago and have not been able to conquer it, will try, try and try til I can. I can’t ride a bike or skate or jump on a trampoline, even as a child because of lack of balance.. maybe I will be able to do this and it sure will not hurt.
I am watching this video, its different than the one I watched, but a lot like it.
I do balance exercises every single day, and have since 2015. until a few months ago I did the same one the therapist taught me. now I am adding to those and changing out on different days…
I am back . I aced the stand heal to toe.. 30 seconds, the one leg, right leg 16 and left leg 5. my left legs is my weak hip and sciatia
the three exercises are the ones I have done since 2015..
That bean plant just keeps on going. I wonder if it doesn’t get a pod because it’s in a pot instead of planted in the ground. That sweet potato looks promising
