Yesterday, the weather was all over the place. It felt as if it would rain from midday on, but held off until near sunset. I took an exuberant long walk up and around Mt. Tabor while on the phone to my parents. We spoke for over an hour, during most of which I was walking. Well, that felt great in my body; stretching and using muscles and breathing deep. all while connecting with my parents.

For dinner, I fixed some swiss chard and rice while A brought home a couple of pieces of baked chicken. delightful. Then she and I took a walk around the neighborhood, a more relaxing stroll than my earlier exercise. We have new neighbors moving into the house behind us and we stopped there to welcome them. They invited us in to see the work they were doing; scraping off wallpaper, pruning shrubs, removing carpet. Our 10 minute walk became an hour!

When we returned from our walk, I noticed the sky was doing remarkable things. I got my camera, turned right around and went out again. Forty-two shots later, I returned home amidst the heavy drops of rain that were just beginning to fall. The air was warm and the sun was just setting and the rain felt good. like a release.
