Getting Outside Early...

I'm getting my outside time in early today, as I'm heading to Barrie for a late Mother's Day get together of lunch and the new Avengers movie. I'm happy to say I haven't gotten any spoilers of the new Avengers movie and Mom and I are both super excited to see it. Can't wait!

The View From Here

Some days I spend my outdoor time reading under the apple tree. It's a great place to get some shade and hear the birds sing. I took a few photos of my view looking up -  it's a cozy place for reading.

Outdoor Breakfast

Part of the 30x30 Challenge is to spend more time outdoors. One way to do that is to move something I typically do inside, outside. My normal breakfast routine sits me in front of the computer, but while having a sunny morning breakfast outside, I can read a book or just listen to the birds sing. A great way to start the day.

Beating The Rain

Armed with my trusty umbrella, I'm heading outside on my walk. (Aside: I have had many untrustworthy umbrellas in my life...they are an item that one must spend over $5 on for them to be reliable). The weather network thinks I'm safe for the next hour or so, but I'm ready if the rain starts again. I can't complain, though. The weather for the past two weeks has been phenomenal. It's been so good, it's almost made me forget the oppressively cold and miserable winter we had. All my memories are full of sunshine.

But today: cloudy and rain. We need a good downpour, so hopefully I'm back inside before it hits.
