At the end of August, I felt the summer slipping away and fall creeping in. It wasn’t a problem because I love both seasons. However, there is a change in the morning and evening air. This change lets me know that the seasons are upon us.

Since we enjoyed amazingly clear, comfortable weather, I took advantage of some local scenic spots. Gorgeous skies and limited wind let me appreciate local river parks, complete with squirrels, birds, and turtles nearby.

The water is always pretty this time of year, with the summer haze gone and diminished bug irritations!

Moving inland, I participated in a Forest Bathing event where we focused on mindfulness and grounding activities. During our time in the forest, we smelled different leaves, felt the textures of bark and other materials, and identified sounds of our surroundings.

After the event, I enjoyed the views of the waterfront. Guests were fishing, kayaking, and relaxing as they gazed upon the beautiful lake.

Time spent outside and unplugged is essential to good health and should be enjoyed when the weather cooperates!
