Theme: The Great Outdoors

Today's Challenge: Outdoor activities offer lots of health benefits. Whether you enjoy going for a walk, run, or bike ride, tending to your garden, doing a little yard work or grass mowing, or participating in sports, getting outside regularly will give you fresh air, sunshine, Vitamin D, and often a new perspective and creativity boost. Whenever I'm stressed or stuck on a problem, I take it outside. :-)

And that's our challenge today: spend 15 or 20 minutes outdoors doing something you enjoy. And please tell us what you did!

Alternative Challenge: Walk around while you talk on the phone today!

    I posted this earlier, but it's such an important message that I'm reposting. Spending time outdoors is vital for our well being. And it's fun!

    I must have been reading your mind. I worked in the yard 2 hours yesterday. I need to spend about 15 minutes today cleaning up the details after yesterdays work..

    Yay, @corinasue1143! I’m glad today’s challenge works in so well with your yard work. I should do some yard work as well, but a walk through the woods is going to win out instead.

    Happy Friday!

    I got an early morning walk around my neighborhood. It was lovely May Gray weather, the birds were singing, the whole neighborhood seemed to still be sleeping. It was lovely - the longer I walked, the longer I wanted to keep walking.

    I was able to plant my vegetable garden before the rain today.

    It's been raining for the past 6 days. Luckily, not all day.
