Everything is muddy, messy, droopy, and icky. It won't stop raining. I ventured out with my buddy today to scope out natural spaces in our community for taking learners to explore. It rained the entire two hours we hiked. And it didn't matter! We walked through many spider webs, watched Bella enjoy the creek and the puddles, and discussed ideas we hope to bring to fruition in the coming year. It was just the energy boost I needed to face another day of this bummer weather. I was in such great spirits when I returned home that I decided to add some flowers to my backyard. And now I'm going to get my cleaning and laundry finished so I will be ready to enjoy the sun. Whenever it finally reappears.
