So, I haven't been blogging a lot lately, mostly because we've cut back on our computer time since the weather got better- mainly I've been using it to do basic maintenance on my games, and the Owlvark has been using it to look for jobs, but once that's done, we've just been shutting it off. It's been a little too hot during the afternoons the past few days to do much outside, so we do a lot of reading and playing board games or watching movies, the Owlvark has another radio to tinker with, and I've got some art projects I'm working on. As soon as the evening starts in and it's not quite so toasty anymore, we head outside. We've been going for a lot of walks, we've gone for dinner picnics in the park several times, we go out fishing, out to play basketball or throw the Foxtail or a frisbee around, taken some books to the lakeside and read, the Owlvark has done a few watercolors. It'd be nice to borrow the canoe and bring it up here for a while, too- I've never seen the other side of the lake, after all. It's really nice getting to be active again after the winter. And next year, we plan on having snowshoes (and a car!) so we'll be able to be out and about then, too. We're kicking around the idea of doing some winter camping...
The Owlvark's been very pleased about having so much to go and do, as when I was in England we went to the park a lot when he got home from work- he says getting out and moving is the natural antidote to a desk job. Apparently it's a pretty good antidote for looking for a job, too.
