Since TBI: How has it changed outdoor activities for you?
Summer in Minnesota is fast approaching and with the nicer weather people are getting outside and enjoying what Mother Nature has to offer. What types of outdoor activities do you enjoy? Are there things that have changed the way you spend time outdoors since your injury?

Walking the labyrinth, watching dragonflies, hearing birds, discovering new areas at my nearby park, Lake Como. Humidity takes a toll on me, so I try to stay inside when it’s bad outside.
I am fortunate in that I live in Grand Marais, there is no end of things to do here. I am in the midst of some serious landscaping projects at our home that we bought eight years ago but I've been too busy to finish. I love fishing, but since my accident am no longer allowed to go alone. Mind you, I rarely have trouble finding someone to accompany me. Downhill and cross-country skiing, but that is winter. I usually camp at least once each summer with my son and grandkids,, but COVID is wrecking that this summer. I have a large vegetable garden(for living in town). So, I am very busy, mostly just slower at things because of my age and my inability to stay focused.
