Greetings my Friends,
And welcome to March! How was your weekend. Mine was just about perfect! After taking a couple of weeks off from yoga due to my back bothering me as well as my arthritis acting up - particularly in my shoulders (thank you dampness and extreme cold), I finally went back to a couple of Yin Yoga classes. It felt wonderful. Yin is such a relaxing practice.
Saturday, the last day of February, dawned sunny and warmer. In fact, it ended up feeling just like a Spring day! For the first time in I don't know how long, I went out for a walk. Due to all the snow melt, I opted to walk along the Perkiomen River Trail in Oaks which is paved. The sky was a gorgeous blue.
There were plenty of walkers and joggers as well as folks on bikes. I think everyone felt a tremendous relief to finally be outside in comfortable weather. There was still plenty of ice along the banks of the river.
Big chunks and shelves of ice. There was even a large amount of ice across the path at one point, but easy enough to get over it.
Scents were in the air. It smelled like Spring - a bit mucky and almost swamp like. No signs of wildlife yet (other than geese flying overhead), but it won't be long now. This coming Saturday temps are supposed to reach 70+!!!
The weekend overall was a great balance of things. I found plenty of time for knitting, stitching and reading as well as getting outside. But I also managed to get some needed chores done (laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, etc.).
Meanwhile, today is a bit on the cooler side. My phone tells me it is 23 out, but feels like 16. My schedule is a bit different this week. I'll be watching Iris on Tuesday and Thursday, so I will head to the grocery store today. We are in desperate need of fresh produce.
Did you have a good weekend? I certainly hope so.
