Finally Feels Like Spring

I’ve been trying to spend more time outside lately, but it’s been hard with the unseasonably cold weather. On Wednesday, I went on a 4-mile walk out on some minimum-maintenance roads near my parents’ farm.

A fitness app screenshot displays details of an outdoor walk, including 570 active calories burned and a distance of 4.02 miles, with a square route shown on a map.

It felt wonderful, and I wanted to do it again, but then there were crazy winds and lots of blowing dust, forcing me to stay inside. Now today we finally have blue skies, and the leaves are really coming out on the trees.

A driveway leads to a small white building and a parked red car, with an American flag flying nearby and bare trees in the background under a dusty sky.
