Springtime!

The dog and I took a long walk in the Park today -- it's full of birds and springtime smells. Very nice! Daffodils are sprouting up by the hospital and some of the plants and flowers we planted in our little garden last year are coming back. The building next door is doing some seasonal clean-up too. They're finally repairing the roof from the fire last May and the crack-smokers living under the stairs appear to be packing their stuff into large black trash bags and moving on. Let's hope for some more positive activity over there.

I had a nice practice this morning. Focused on the breath and everything went very smoothly; standing poses flew by. But as soon as I hit the Marichyasanas, I lost all my energy and suddenly felt hungry. I went through the rest of the series and took it easy. Skipped Sirsasana because I was pressed for time. And then the dog joined me for the final resting pose.
