I have missed everything that grows so much. I don't know that I've ever spent a year so much indoors even when I was really sick. I was walking around just breathing tree-air and field-damp and it was wonderful.
God, same. It really does lift my spirits inordinately every time, possibly because it's been so rare this year. But I do find myself appreciating every scrap of nature and breath of wind, even more than usual, and even more so when I manage to really get out in a forest or otherwise out in nature.
Where on the Charles were you?
Paddle Boston has an Allston/Brighton location that's an easy drive or a longish but doable walk away from us. Becca didn't come along this time, but we've gone kayaking there several times, and met up with friends; in these times, it turns out it's a very pleasant way to hang out while socially distanced, since it's easy to stay a paddle's length apart in any case.
It was windy enough today that they were sending everyone upwind, so they'd come back the easy way, which of course is what I would've opted to do anyway. So we put in at the rental place (a little ways upriver of the Eliot Bridge) and went upstream till we went under the Arsenal St. bridge, and fairly soon after that turned around and came back, because we had socially distanced picnic dinner plans with Becca and were starting to get hungry. A shortish trip, but lovely.
