Peaceful

Cooking

I tried yoga again. It was MUCH more difficult this time (it wasn’t a beginner’s class), but I liked it a lot! The instructor was a six foot tall stick and I have no idea how she held some of the poses for so long.

I’m glad my early morning was peaceful because work was a bit hectic. I hate how my job ebbs and flows with crazy days and boring days. I’d like some steady, long-term projects that amount to something big!

I finally got the chance to sit down to dinner with Matt, so I put a bit of effort into the meal and made stewed apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. I let them burn a bit, but they sure tasted good.

I also threw together some TJ’s polenta with spinach, carrots, and an apple chicken sausage.

I figured the mosquitos must be gone with the temperature drop, so we were able to enjoy the patio after a summer of avoiding it. It’s just so peaceful outside these days – the light has definitely changed.

I relaxed out there for a while, enjoying the birds (or bats?) and I think I just might take a walk. What’s your favorite thing about the temperature change (and I don’t mean favorite food item!)?

    I also prefer more challenging power yoga classes to the slower vinyasa classes. I like the challenge!

    I like how pleasant the air is and how pretty the sky looks.

    I mean right now, we in MN are in the midst of a humidty-free 80 degree heat wave, so I’m enjoying the wonderful summer weather we didn’t have because it was oppresively hot and humid.

    In all seriousness, I dig the fact that the changing light makes me crave sweet potatoes/pumpkin. Candy corn. Crisp air. The fact that I can be comfortable in a sweatshirt and leggings and not fret about putting on more layers.
