Here was the venue for my morning walk - Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, really roaring after the weekend rain. Walked 3.5 miles with my friend, including 30 flights of stairs. We'll see how my glutes feel tomorrow!
We were impressed how many wore masks or had them ready in case they came close to anyone else. Saw a group of young men holding a work meeting in the picnic shelter - each at their own table. Very encouraging that some are still being cautious.
Came home and planted the first of many patio pots, the rest will have to wait for potting soil...seeing if the local garden center has any for curbside pickup in the morning. Writing this on the patio, alongside our almost-ready-for-summer pond, just need to get the fountain in and connected. So grateful for the nice weather and peaceful backyard.

@sueimnm Wow another beautiful photo. I am definitely not the only one with lovely places to walk. Talking about masks on the walk, the only ones that are wearing masks on my walk are obviously visitors who are supposed to be on a 14 day lock down. It is pretty safe for walking around here but I wonder where else they are going and the police are not being vigilant enough. We only have half a dozen or so active cases on this island and Kauai hasn't had any for weeks. The governor is trying to keep it that way for a while but obviously it will have to be opened up again at some point. When people arrive they have to sign a document saying they will stay in their room and then they ignore the rule. If caught they may be fined $5,000 and also a year in jail.
My walk was good though and I went a bit earlier to keep it a bit cooler. I hope your buttocks aen't too bad tomorrow and the next day! I am now going to do my stretches before I coll down.
@sueinmn
I'm moving! My place is starting to look so boring even though I can see the water.
Wish I was there instead of here in hot Florida
Ugh ....Mary
What a productive day, I love the Minnehaha Falls as well. Such an austere site!
@sueinmn Wow, am I impressed! I can only get my husband to do four laps on the track which is about a mile and then I do one more. I could do a bit more than that but I don't want to keep him waiting, plus my knees will take just so much. There are more interesting places to walk but I can't get my husband to go to them. We have been going just before dinner, at about 5:00. Few people and I don't need to worry about the sun being too strong.
Have you gone to nursery centers to purchase plants? I am a bit leery of it still, my husband even more so. I would really like to though. Around here most people do not plant their annuals until after Memorial Day. Up until then there could be another frost.

Ohh, how lovely! Thank you for sharing. Waterfalls are hypnotizing for me!
