I really love the long hours of daylight. It makes me so happy to get up when it’s light out and have it still be light out late into the evening. I feel so much more energetic.
Over the past few months it has been easier to find time to take a daily walk, and I really like that I don’t feel like I’m squeezing a jigsaw puzzle to find time to make that work. In particular, I have been enjoying a late evening walk most days, although sometimes I shake things up and go for an afternoon walk or a morning walk.
Along the same lines, I have been able to find enough time to do more practicing, particularly in the mornings, and I’m enjoying that part of my daily routine as well, even when it’s hard work.
I am really appreciating all the green in my world right now: green grass, green leaves, green plants, and the world seems to be exploding in blooming things the past few weeks. It feels like we wait so very long for things to turn green in the spring, and then they do, all at once, like a gigantic explosion. It’s amazing.
I have a little neighbor across the street and a couple houses down who I haven’t really met who brightens my day all the time when she goes outside to her backyard and swings on her swingset and sings and sings! She also plays hide and seek with the cutest little counting voice ever. I think I might actually write her a letter to tell her how much I appreciate her. I can even hear her inside with the windows open. It’s so great!
I have been loving the harp music I hear in the house. It’s getting to be more complicated, and it’s so fun to listen. Harp music is so very calming.
I am loving having lots of time to read books.
So many Little Free Libraries have popped up in our neighborhood over the past few weeks, and it has become a fun pastime to do a neighborhood Little Library Tour to check out what has appeared.
