Lesser Celandine
I just woke up from a nice hour-long nap. I feel refreshed, though my neck and shoulders (despite the Aleve that I took) are still stiff. I'm really starting to think about going to see the doctor about this.
The first half of my day was amazing! I haven't had so much happy solitary time in a long while. I had my very first Tai Chi class this morning at 9:45...I had to wait outside of the RPAC for while, because I got there at like 7:15...but I had time to eat breakfast, doodle a little, and stretch before class. I really loved it, the instructor was awesome, and I can't wait until next week. We learned two moves within the form (we're learning Guang Ping Yang), but I think that after this quarter, I might study under her formally to learn a more energy focused style of it).
After class, I decided to walk home, and walked home along the bike path. I remember to take my 3x40 binocs, though I wish that I would have brought my bigger ones with me. Next time I will. Today I saw a hairy woodpecker, a downy woodpecker, a red-bellied woodpecker, 7 goldfinches, lots of robins, cardinals, and red-winged black birds, song sparrows, a great blue heron, lots of canada geese and mallards, and best of all all, two belted kingfishers and a mating pair of wood ducks!!!! HA! I love kingfishers! So exciting.
It didn't take long before I wondering off the paved trail and into the woods. I did a few sun salutations by the bridge though and did go over to the wet lands, but mostly kept to the trails alongside the river. There are tons of wild lesser calandine flower blooming. Their flowers are bright bright yellow and shiny. My make me happy, but I only picked one, and it was for Freyja, so...I don't feel guilty. I didn't get home until around 2...then I read a little and took a shower and then took a nap. Such a great day!
