I failed totally at posting ONCE A MONTH!!  Good grief.

This is basically a photo dump for the future.

Since March we have been living in this strange new world. I do not think this will be our new normal but it is our FOR NOW normal. I know everyone doesn’t take it seriously but we do.  I love seeing my Daddy but he is older with COPD so that means I can’t ‘live my life as always.”  Because he is important to me.

We spent huge amounts of time outside in nature.  It is one of the few things that calm my soul.

SEPTEMBER

We have so enjoyed our Botanical Gardens membership.  Each time we go we discover new magical places.

Picnics and ducks at a local-ish park.

Brushy Lake at Bankhead Forest. Another beautiful day. (I am updating this in November on a chilly day. These pictures make me miss summer!)

Then we went to Joe Wheeler State Park to meet sweet friends from Tennessee.  It was so nice to finally meet Rebel and Ruby in person.

Shoal’s Branch.  We have discovered so many amazing outdoor places during these last few months.

Nature

We had a beautiful moring exploring downtown and seeing Jamey Grimes’ amazing exhibit “Roil” at Carnegie.

Hiking and finding a new waterfall!

Hidden Rivers farm opened and we went with friends and loved it.

September was a beautiful month with a lot of time spent outdoors.  Honestly the last few months have been a bit strange but being outside makes us feel more sane.  It is one of the “blessings” of coronavirus; we found so many lovely outdoor spaces and spent so much time in nature.
