(not necessarily in that order)
We went up into the mountains above Locarno today, taking the funivia (cable car) up to Cardada — an elevation of 5,482 feet.
There were eight of us, plus a baby and three dogs. We strolled the various pathways, enjoyed lunch in a beautiful restaurant, and I realized once again that there’s nothing quite like really fresh mountain air.
What a lovely day.
The rain very kindly stopped this afternoon, allowing me to get out for a walk and some fresh air. I really needed it, too.
The fact of the matter is that three days of nothing but resting and taking it easy is proving to be quite the challenge.
I know it’s still too soon to start running about like normal, but perhaps tomorrow I’ll do a bit of computer work.
The good: this morning’s workday was wonderful! The best part was spending time with dear friends (outdoors and safely masked, of course), sharing laughter and stories. But it was also great fun being in the fresh air, doing something that’s outside our regular flow, and helping to beautify the Expanding Light grounds.
The bad: my hands, especially the left, are really sore from pulling weeds all morning! So this is enough typing for tonight. 🖐😂
It seems like forever since I was able to sit outside on our little patio, breathing fresh air while enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. The smoke is part of the beautiful sunset colors, visible in the distance. It will very likely be back tomorrow, but I’m very grateful for this break in the meantime!
