It's a sunny 43°F out. Comfortable in the sun, cooler in the shade, balloons in the distance. Perfection.

Look at all this yard work that needs to be done. We gotta sweep our gravel back into place every once in a while because the dogs and coyotes make a mess when they play. We also gotta scoop the poop. It's so hard y'all, let me tell you. 😛

For real, I do NOT miss the rain and storms and humidity of the south, or fighting back nature at every turn. We've been here for 3 months now and I still love it. I was never an outdoorsy person in Alabama, but here I'm up for hiking, biking, skating, whatever. Even when it's down in the 30s all you gotta do is catch a sun beam to warm up.

For those of you who love the south:  I'm so happy that you're happy. I sincerely mean that. But for me this has been life-changing. I'm still in awe at how much I love being outside now. I'm so much more active than I've been since probably band camp back in high school. This is so nourishing for my body and my mind. It's exactly what I needed and I'm so grateful. ❤️❤️❤️
