My Adorable Small Town Life

Bee Buddy

I started reading The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King yesterday, so it was fitting that I spotted this little guy while I was outside reading. He was very photogenic and didn't mind me getting into his personal space for some photos.

Daffodils Progress

We got a nice helping of rain on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday which allowed for a big burst in growth from many of the outdoor plants.

A patch of daffodils that I forgot about was suddenly blooming, and it was nice to see them again.

Our small patch in the backyard has made a lot of progress. I snapped a photo before the rainstorm and another the day after and the rain really made a difference.

The day before the rain:

The day after the rain:

They will be blooming soon.

Fifteen Days Down and Fifteen More To Go

I got on board with the 30x30 Nature Challenge and I've been having a lot of fun with it. The weather has been wonderful and I haven't missed a day outside yet. I hope I don't miss one at all, as the fresh air has been fantastic.

I'm also on a walking challenge, which I started the last week of April, and today marks my 20th day in a row of going for a walk. I spend most of my Nature Challenge time walking, so it's easy to complete both these activities at once. Plus the weather has been sooooo good! I already mentioned that, but it has made getting outside really easy for me.

I also realize that I have sort of been doing a blogging challenge too, as I 've been posting every day about my outdoor adventures.

Fifteen days down and fifteen more to go.

Thanks for reading.

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!
