Can you say Moonlighting!

When in doubt, look to the heavens…

Alas, this week featured a lot of beauty, light, and tranquility while looking skyward. Seriously, I don’t remember having so many continuous days with clear skies in recent memory. 

The evenings were just as wonderful. The waning full moon didn’t stay hidden, illuminating many a fitness endeavor this week as well…

One “Fall” Swoop

…and just like that, it appears the fall season is here to stay.

Well, at least that’s the story from this week. Although we did have some pleasant afternoon temps, the mornings were chilly, the air was crisp, and the wind returned with somewhat of a vengeance.

 I know the summer-like temps aren’t completely in the rear-view mirror, but ugh. Why, oh why, is Summer such a painfully short season in the Midwest? It’s a good thing I have perseverance and grit, both of which are crucial in getting outside (still) on the daily.

A Seasonal Chat over Coffee

Anyone up for a gathering of sorts, around a virtual table, with plenty of coffee on hand?

Well, it doesn’t have to be coffee for your beverage du jour. Actually, any beverage will do (I’ll be sipping a hazelnut cappuccino), but the conversation will be amongst friends and is guaranteed to be fun!

If you’re game, allow me to begin…

August’s Final Hurrah

How, exactly, is August (almost) over?

I gotta say it’s been a month full of adventure, fitness, and fun. I don’t dread September’s arrival, but I’m not too keen on the final days of summer looming on the horizon. The best I can do is celebrate and embrace every minute before the daylight depletes and the cold sets in…

‘Fessing it up for August

 

…and just like that, it’s time to hit the ‘fessional.

You know the drill, a few ‘fessions released, exposed, and shared does us well. Besides, there’s no sense in keeping all this stuff to myself, LOL.

So, here’s what needs disclosing for August…

Look to the Sky

Some say the sky’s the limit.

I’d have to say the sky’s not only the limit (figuratively and in reality), but it’s also quite beautiful. This week, there was plenty to see in looking skyward. Not only was the sunrise breathtaking, on the daily, there were numerous celestial things going on, and it was an astronomer’s paradise. 

It also was another humidity-filled week, with plenty of summer weather to behold. Of course, I was all about that!

Because I Can

Well, it was a week!

The weather was very seasonal…hot (at times), cool (on a few token mornings), and humid (as per usual). There was a little bit of rain, but it was in moderation. There still is a plentitude of standing water in the fields and streams, though the levels appear to be gradually dwindling.

Myself? Getting outside on the daily, as usual, was without question. I may be in denial in acknowledging  the slightly lesser daylight, but I’m definitely soaking up as much of summer as possible.
