Got Outside Today 15/31 #sol17

I got outside today
Finally
I braved the wet dreary Seattle rain
That hasn't let up in days

I got outside today
Walking
With the baby in the stroller
And the dog on his leash

I got outside today
Smelling
The sweet fragrances of spring
Magnolias beginning to bloom
My nose and eyes beginning to run
Oh allergies

I got outside today
Listening
To podcasts as the neighborhood seems too quiet

I got outside today
Helping
To charge my extroverted batteries
Just by witnessing others
Rather than the silent solitude of home with an infant

I got outside today
Adding
To my double dose of vitamin D and placenta pills

I got outside today
