These two had a successful lake harvest this afternoon. Our temperatures went from hot to cold, but these two bundled up and took to adventure and had a good day together.

I am continuing to put the miles on my shoes on the trails. Each time I go out I notice subtle changes. Lately it has been blooming marsh marigolds and blueberry blossoms. I am paying attention seeking out the first ladyslipper bloom. Soon too I anticipate seeing turtles looking for sandy areas to lay and bury their eggs.

I am doing my best to stay present and grounded. Reminding to take my own advice I offered in the article I wrote for Taproot Magazine Issue 23:ROOTS, to live a life grounded in purpose, but balanced by and embedded with experiences that foster connection and joy.

This act of sharing photographs and ramblings of our daily life is a practice in gratitude that brings me joy.

I encourage you to reflect on the good in your life.

What are you grateful for today?

The kids have been in already! We took a quick trip to our family cabin for the Minnesota fishing opener. The boys caught some walleyes and all four kids were in the lake swimming.

I have been enjoying the trails. I have been trail running and road running. I try to get out every day. It is good for my mind, body, and soul!

Spring sports are in full spring. We have one runner in track and three in baseball. We are busy getting them to and from their practices and events and watching their competitions when we can.
