Observations From Indoors

[forestofglory]

It's tricky to write about what I'm observing in the built enviroment when I have been spending most of my time in my house. I have been in a building other than my house twice since mid-March. Once was to go shopping, and once was to go to the dentist.

So I've mostly been staying close to home. However going to the dentist I did have to drive across town. There's several new building going up downtown and since I now don't see them very often they always seem much bigger than the last time. Things like that seem to grow in leaps and bounds when you don't keep an eye on them.

There are still plenty of deer around, there's a doe and two fawns that hang out in our backyard sometimes. The other day on a walk I saw a buck with velvet covered antlers disappearing into some bushes.

And exciting new development is that the local botanic garden is opening again! One needs an appointment, a you have to wear a mask, and some paths are closed. So R made us an reservation and we went yesterday. It was great to be back. I'm sorry that I missed the spring iris, but there where still flowers, trees, and winding paths. So I was glad to wander for a while.

I'm glad you got to wander in the botanical garden.

The deer sound lovely, and so do the winding garden paths.

Ooh, lucky you with the doe and fawn in your garden! That's amazing!

Sounds a bit like on slowing down allows for a deeper relationship with the smaller elements of the environment around you with this post. Deer in back garden sounds magical!
