Poppies

Poppies in a yard between home and the .7 mile walk to my Qi Gong class. I'm getting so much pleasure and benefit from the class. The teacher is a born teacher, and is really good. A couple of knitting friends attend, and the space is lovely. The benefits include improved balance, improved concentration, and the serenity that comes from being quiet and contemplative.
I weeded my garden until close to dark, but didn't hear or see any swallows. I'll be disappointed if they've moved on, but surely they must be nesting right now.
The late evening is also a good time to text my brother-in-law. He stays up a lot later than my sister who needs a lot of rest. But she is having a good week.
