(not necessarily in that order)
Today was a day dedicated to some serious R&R. I’m getting quite good at it, I must say.
For example, I had not just one, but two sessions sitting outside on the patio, enjoying the sunshine and cool breeze.
These are all photos of the view from my zero gravity chair (I found the wisteria leaves to be rather mesmerizing).
I can hardly believe it myself, but today the productivity show moved outdoors…
…I took a morning walk (too many things get in the way later in the day); then — after a morning of computer tasks — cleared an accumulation of junky stuff from our patio; carried it all to the dumpster; swept the patio; and pulled a bunch of weeds.
My reward? Sitting in the warm sun while listening to crickets, birds, and breeze. Then gazing up into the wisteria and letting the bees take over productivity for a while. 😉
Although Crystal Hermitage and its gardens are closed due to the coronavirus, Ananda Village residents are allowed to visit — by reservation; two per hour; masked and gloved!
It was glorious to spend an hour immersed in the beauty and sunlight and fresh air. And as a bonus, we actually got to see and greet a few friends (from an appropriate social distance, of course)!
We don’t usually make it there so early in the season, so this was our first time witnessing the cherry blossoms in their full splendor. Although there are already lots of tulips, the wisteria and dogwood trees aren’t yet in full bloom. So we’ll definitely be making another appointment (or two…or three!) over the coming weeks.
