Morning Walk

Beautiful, beautiful morning.

This has been such a beautiful spring.  We will be having summer temperatures next week, but for now, I'm loving that it's cool in the mornings.  I'm not quite ready to put away my jacket for the season (I need the pockets for my various glasses, dog treats, tissues, mints, housekey and all the other things I seem to need with me.)

I had planned to walk over to one of the sisters that I minister to and have a porch visit.  But just as I was thinking I needed to get a move on getting ready to do just that this morning, she phoned me.  She said she was already done with texting today and was ready to actually talk to someone. We had a lovely chat.  I'm so grateful for her friendship.

I actually made it on the website yesterday (Project Protect) to pick up a kit to sew face masks for health care workers.  This is being organized by Intermountain Health Care, U of U Health and Latter-Day Charities (our church). Each week for five weeks they are distributing  mask kits to volunteers for sewing - I get so confused by the number of masks they are planning to get - I'm somehow thinking it's 500k but am not sure on the exact number.  I missed the deadline last week, it was full by the time I had someone to split the 100 masks with.  I hope I've done the registration correctly so that when I'm in the long line of cars to pick up the kit I won't be faced with frustration and rejection. 😟 It's all new to me.  It'll be interesting come Tuesday morning.

And this morning's walk was just delightful.  I woke up a bit later than usual, decided to not hurry, The Husband came along with me and I just kept stopping to take picture after picture.  There are two pictures of a path from the street to the trail that is covered with a tree canopy.  The first part is just green tree leaves, the upper part is blossoming trees.  It presently is just so romantic and idyllic looking.  That's why there are two pictures.  I've taken pictures of this exact path in the past but it has always been from the top looking down and there's a fire hydrant smack in the middle that I'd prefer to not have in my pictures.

I'm so grateful to have a couple people reach out to me.  I have treasured those
small interactions.  I'm grateful The Husband is so willing to do the yard work.  It's hot and hard.  And he doesn't flinch, just keeps working. I'm grateful for projects to do, for books to read and for somewhere to get take-out for dinner.  I'm so ready to eat something someone else has prepared.  😁
