I hope you are all having a fine day and enjoying the sunshine ☀️. Yesterday I finally got to go for a hike. My PT finally cleared me last week, mostly because I wasn't asking permission but wanted to be out in the 🌲. Of course there were conditions etc., but we made it 1.4 miles (2.25km) slowly and to be honest it felt like hours of PT. Today I am really feeling it and I slept 11 hours. Nonetheless I am ecstatic to have been out in nature, hiking and enjoying the pines and scents, 🦅 eagles and even the barn spiders with their intricate webs.
I also have a lot of information to bring back to my neuro PT on Tuesday which he translates and sends to my specialist. It's a win-win I think. I get outside to improve my mental and physical state and bring back data for my specialist team who actually listens to me.
The photo is a woolly bear caterpillar I found on the trail. They can survive in up to -90 degrees Fahrenheit . Beauty! I encourage all of you to take a few moments to move outside and find something to appreciate, whether it's nature or art or somebody's smile!

That fuzzy critter can be found all the way in the arctic and can predict the weather. If the middle stripe is narrow- it will be a harsh winter. If it is wider, as in this example- milder winter. These guys hibernate and they actually freeze until the weather gets to 50 degF when it wakes and spins a cocoon with its fur 🐛🦋.
That's great. Thanks for the wooly bear info - looking it up, it seems that several states in the US hold "Wooly Bear Festivals". Sounds like my sort of festival! x
Thanks for the info on festivals. Looked them up and unfortunately, none of them are in the PNW. The last place I lived had a Spam festival with a crowned 👑queen 👸🏻 and her court of maidens.😆🏰
Maybe we could work in that hibernation time to be the time in between specialist appointments so no time is lost and pain is not felt. After all, the woolly bear completely freezes until it warms to a suitable temperature 🌞🌸😉😘
Ecstasy from nature...with you there...after a forest walk today, I took of photos of something so magical I didn't know if I was dreaming...checked photos...diffuse late sunlight catching millions of gossamer webs 😲😚🤗 🤩😘 xxx
Oh the magic! You understand me and my fascination with these tiny seemingly insignificant creatures! 🐛🐝🐌🐞🕷Oh happy day!!! And you got a walk in too. I love your spirit😘
