@bluebicycle Yes, equipment prices are a total sham. I only have a couple of free weights and then just use my own body weight as resistance. I'm sure I could benefit from a few more pieces, but I get by. I had an awesome mat, but my dog thought it looked yummy and shredded it

I've been walking a lot more now that the weather is nice and its the only time I'm away from the house except for the occasional store adventure. We have walking paths in my neighborhood and plenty to look at, so it is a nice experience. My kids have been going with me, so I haven't been moving as quickly as I'd like to, but we are having fun together. We had several ducks chase us down looking for food yesterday. They thought it hilarious. There was also a daddy goose watching us to make sure we didn't get to close to the mom sitting on her nest. We stayed far away. Angry geese are scary.

The pollen has eased a bit, so we can sit outside and eat our meals. That has been a lovely change. We have a creek and woods behind us and we see deer and all kinds of animals when we are quiet and observe. Also, the blue jays are back. I have a window feeder and it is fun to watch them fly in and out all day. I also enjoy the cardinals. The finches are cute too as they usually feed together with their mates.

I hope everyone is having a good week physically. Love to all.
