Badminton Followed By a Beautiful Moon Bath of Poor Air Quality

October 1 2020

Air quality was back in the red/unhealthy today, so Thomas and I played badminton in the indoor sport court. It was our first time using it.🏸

As soon as we get a basketball, a volleyball, and a pickle ball set, we have those as options, too. Looks like they’re almost finished with the outdoor sand volleyball court and the bocce ball court too. Fun! 🏀 🏐 🥒 🏀

The air quality finally improved just before dinner, so Lillian and I went for a moonlit walk. Beautiful moon bath.

Lovely walk this afternoon. Air quality not so good, but not too bad for a walk.

Lillian and I have been having our walks after dinner. It gets dark on us so we stay in our community and walk around. They’re slowly finishing more buildings and opening up more of the property. Last night, we saw that the sand volleyball court is finally finished! Can’t wait to try it out!

Sunrise this morning. Fingers crossed that we’re past the worst of the smoke.

Thomas and I went for a hike on the Tamarack Lake Trail earlier this afternoon. Incredibly beautiful and peaceful.

Thomas had fun hitting rocks into the lake. I included some blooper photos of trying to take selfies with the wild wind that was blowing, and a blooper of what happens when Thomas takes my photo … He keeps taking the photo until I take my phone away! Crazy kid!

It finally cleared enough for a walk. Lillian’s choice: Our old neighborhood, with a refreshing cool breeze. Bonus: We got to see a cormorant in bat pose! Cormorants and pelicans are two of my favorites.

I am good tired this afternoon. A swim this morning and then a lovely hike to Tamarack Lake with beautiful people. Thank you Fran, Melinda, and Barbara. And to the four legged fur friends you brought along …. Stella, Hank and Boo. Deeply grateful for being invited with you ladies. Nature’s beauty is magnificent.

We had a cracking loud thunderstorm in the wee hours Monday morning. Woke me up with how loud, with bright lightening that lit the entire room. Woke Lillian on three different occasions, too. Thomas didn’t wake, but the cracking, booming sounds incorporated into his dream! It was wild!

So happy for it, though. As it cleared the smoke and I was able to go for a walk Monday morning and this morning.

Yay for the smoke having cleared!! Went for a long walk this morning.

There were many wonderful walks, clouds and sunsets during the two week stay at home vacation and social media break.

Sunset walk with Lillian.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of roses.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of thorns.
Sometimes I know exactly where I’m going.
Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m coming or going.
Yet, the walks I take, the scenes my eyes frame, the photos I take, being in nature, always brings peace and comfort.

Wonderful early morning walk. I love these lil fuzzy ornamental grasses. They glow in the sunlight.
