Last week I wondered whether I put my seeds in too late for indoor seed starting. I was happy to discover the seeds sprouted right away. The beans are already getting tall.

 

We've been having fires this week. A wonderful way to get off the devices and relax in nature.

 

As the weather warms up and we actually had some sun, it's been harder to find places to walk that aren't full of people. So we mainly walk in the mornings and go the opposite area most people are going. This week we saw a family with goslings and a bald eagle.

 

Here is the May Declutter Calendar. If you fell behind, start again with May instead of trying to catch up.

3. Do a brain dump on paper of stuff in your head.
4. Refuse to hurry at least a couple times this week.
