The trees are fully leaved and/or fully blossomed in splendor. White, light and deep pink, yellow and deep maroon trees are all within the view of my studio window. (I need to get some pictures sooner rather than later.)
Unfortunately, well only because it impedes the weekend plans, rain is forecast beginning later today and going all the way through Tuesday! We could get possibly 3 inches of rain over that time. Better that, though, then all at once.
I did finish the few chores I had to do yesterday. Today I need to do some shopping at the grocery store. And then, if I feel up to it, I want to pick up sticks in the lawn. This afternoon is the only time that the lawn can get cut until next weekend and by then we may need something more than a lawn mower!!!
As there is much rain forecast for the weekend any outdoor plans are going by the wayside. I do have two three-hour zoom events...one on Saturday and one on Sunday...about quilting and textile techniques. The event called 'A Sampler Platter' is hosted by the Global Quilt Connection Organization and local guilds can purchase registration which my guild did.
Each day will focus on several professional quilters and textile artists, each giving a 20 minute lesson on their expertise. I have participated in several of these events and have alway found them fun and informative.
I had neglected to put up the challenge for May before the month began. This month's challenge will be very easy for some and a chance to begin for others. The challenge is simple. It's movement...in other words, exercise.
For those of you who already exercise regularly, it will be a snap. For those who don't, you will have an opportunity to begin...and begin slowly and always with the approval of your doctor.
My suggestion is that you intentionally move each day. It can be as simple as walking or as involved as going to a gym and participating in a class. You decide. And you can start with as little time as you can with the aim to increase that time.
For me, as I generally exercise every day on an exercise bike and then using videos on YouTube. I am going to try and increase my ability to walk more. Walking has always been difficult for me so I am going to begin with ten minutes each day and try to work up to thirty minutes by the end of the month.
So, what do you say...can you make a time for a few minutes each day of intentional movement. I hope so because it will be good for you.
Talk with you on Monday...
