The Weather is Just Fantastic

Oh you would not know how much I enjoy this weather. This morning started out as a tremendous Saturday morning on that you just know without checking for the on the forecast that it’s going to be right up there as far as the weather.

 

I went to the gym after tending to things as everyone does on the weekend and there after I heading to the gym with the same mindset in doing what I was going to do and there was not many people there but yet I enjoyed it so much. As I had mention on my previous write. After training and a friend of mine that I came to know she was working in her own way and then as I had in my locker my camera I told her what I was doing and she thought it was rather neat. As we both were training after it was all done I wished to get a few captures of what I am doing. Within my training that is. Yeah I do have a birthday coming up but I don’t really place all that much weight into birthdays. My family is ill right now and as I have just relinquished some very good ties – I see it as just another day. But that all said, it was the one thing that pushed myself into re harvesting what I have done as I do wish to enjoy things and this literally is one of them coupled with something that along with other areas of life do bring about something that is meaningful to myself. So that was a portion of the day.

 

Then came the outdoors and I went along with one friend to the river. We just took it all in. Mind you while doing this I was taking a few pictures of a variety of things and they have came into full blossom now. The weather that is as the temperature went up to such a high that everyone was out and enjoying the outdoors. Here it’s really that time of the year where everyone just is doing something or another and tomorrow I may head out to the family cottage, I will see.

 

Towards the end of the day I headed out to the other side of the river it’s sort of near where I live and there is a variety of houses that have been there for years and some have been torn down and I headed over and was about to finish off the day and I ended up running into an old friend that is older than myself but has a house that is within this stretch that oversees the river from this east side. We talked about the economy as he recently retired as a head of an investors group and there after I asked if I could take a few pictures. What fascinated me was that his wife had taken the outdoors and created a theme which was a little Japanese combined with a modern style.

So although there are pictures taken, I just enjoyed the acquaintances that just took place.

And I must admit I am feeling the pains of starting what I have mentioned within my own self challenge but it’s all going well.

The sun is just setting now and I think that I have found a foundation after making this move as finally everyone is out and in comparison to winter it’s certainly and enjoyable thing.

That is what weekends are for to me especially at this time.

  2. Sunshine and water are the most revitalizing things in nature --- When both these are present, I always have the desire to hug a big tree - very energizing !

  4. Annette so true, and this city really does come alive as everyone has and was so fed up with the winter we had as it was the longest I have ever seen in my life. But it's very energizing.
    I have hugged a tree but I have certainly enjoyed swimming Annette if that counts! It really was a great day from over here.

  6. Annette I am literally unstressed go figure. I place those things that have happened now in the past and as of last week, there was much soul searching in what I wished to do and how to go about it. I do love swimming but the water is too cold right now however I may head out to the family cottage. But I do love the water and all the things that go along with nature especially at this time.
