i love weekends.

i am trying to get outside more…
and to keep getting outside
once the weather changes.

this weekend has been rainy
but mild.
the colors are still vivid,
with flowers still blooming
and fields still green…
it’s odd for November
but I have been taking advantage of the temps
to get outside.

yesterday was a trail
through the woods,
today i did the boardwalk and watched
the fog roll in off the water…
my only company
the thoughts in my head…
i like that because it gives me
time to think about what i might
like to do creatively…
i jot ideas onto my notes app
on my phone as i walk
and come home
fresh faced
and inspired.

i feel like i have been
full of ideas lately
and there is a small chance
i may be putting too much
on my plate
once again….
but at the moment
it’s all just exciting
and fun and promising.

Happy weekend! :)

For the first time since this COVID 19 thing started,
I felt a little bit more like myself.
I actually got up early Friday morning
and did a real “Friday Adventure”….
tried Dromore trail for the first time….
I did the South Loop,
well, actually, it’s possible I did the South Loop
twice
because I got confused and might have gone
the wrong way.

It’s a wonder I can make it out of a roundabout really.

After Dromore, I found a great, winding
but very narrow dirt road
that seemed to go on forever.

Then I accidentally came across Mooney’s Pond,
which I absolutely love.
I took photos there, too
but will have to share them on a different day.

I had a quick nap in the parking lot
of the trail with the windows open
and a light breeze blowing in
the smell of fresh cut grass.

Then came back to Summerside
to meet up with a best friend
who I haven’t seen for far too long
and we video called another friend
who is too far away…

I came home exhausted and happy.

As soon as I set foot on that trail,
all I could think is
THIS is what I needed…
I realize I have to make a bigger effort
to get out of the house
now that I am working from home.
It is very easy to slide into a rut of
home and home…and home.

The rest of the weekend was
pretty great too….but I have
rambled long enough… :)

(oh. but the other thing I realized
I have missed…is my camera….
this also made me very happy all weekend…
kinda like reconnecting with an old friend)
