A satisfying bike ride this morning. Appreciating the beautiful greens in the area despite the ups/downs of the terrain. To borrow from another BlueSky post: the only red, white, blue I felt like celebrating.

Great afternoon for a bike ride through the countryside. This is the moment in spring when the fields appear yellow. I’m imaging the German bike routes in my future … #biking #springflowers #meadows #countryroads

Wishing you all the best possible week. And remember to look at the sky or a bird or a piece of art to help catch your breath occasionally.

Looking for beauty close to home as the context in the US deteriorates. My cactus bloomed in November and again now. #grateful #gardening

Perfect afternoon to be outside, hiking in the winter woods, along the river. Most importantly: away from social media and the chaos flooding out of DC.
