Hi, all. How is everyone’s walking/exercising going? I went out sort of early today because we were scheduled to do Meals on Wheels. I decided to try the Japanese practice of ‘forest bathing’. The participant stands in nature and soaks in the sights and sounds. It could have been very nice except I had to watch so I didn’t fall in the stream! And a heavy mist started which forecast snow! Oh well, it’s Springtime in the Rockies!

@becsbuddy, I'd not heard the term: 'forest bathing' before but can certainly relate to any outdoor/nature bathing. Being outdoors just transports me to a place of appreciation and gratitude unless...the weather jumps for near 90 and then drops overnight to several days of below freezing nights.
Daughter shared that April snows are supposedly not that unusual in Colorado but in southwest TX, consecutive days of below freezing night temps are really interfering with walks and gardening opportunities. Last night dropped to 28 degrees; Sun and Mon predicted up to 88 and 90 degrees.
Obsessed with more and diff seed starting methods and making sure all are receivng daily checks for moisture/sprouts. Not the same but getting some exercise from daily checking all indoor "sprouting" locations. vbg
