Sleepy Muses
Karl and I walked 6.3 miles today. We walked at two truly lovely times of day.
This morning I woke up extra early, which was not part of my game plan. Nevertheless, I vowed to make the best of the situation. So we made ourselves a cup of rich, delicious roast and a luscious latte, respectively, and proceeded to enjoy the utter delight of a breezy late spring morning.
One of our discoveries along the way was a teeny tiny little mushroom at the side of the road. It was a thing of simple beauty.

As the day wore on, I was lucky enough to be doing all of my work via laptop today, so I was able to be outside as I worked. Wow – it got hot! I’m pretty sure it reached about 81 degrees today.
But then Karl and I took a second walk: what now passes for a ‘little’ walk – 2.2 miles. There was a massive storm cloud hovering right over us the whole time we walked, bringing a shift in the wind and dramatic changes in temperature. It felt like the temperature dropped about 20 degrees in minutes.
The winds were invigorating and felt like they were sweeping away old ways of thinking and tackling issues.
But the sunset.

I have to post this now. Seems to me I have more to say, but I am 100% worried that I’m going to fall asleep quite literally before hitting the ‘publish’ button. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve nodded off already. Sometimes, the Muses need sleep too, and quite frankly I think mine just stalked out of the living room, took a bath, and are ready to retire for the evening.
They don’t care how great my photo of the sunset was. They want to sleep – or threaten to strike.
