We're enjoying the weekend :) This morning, we had another sweet day, rising and shining :) We love hearing from you all, and hearing about your days :) i was up early this morning, enjoying some nice time here on DS, writing to friends, and getting ready for my early morning nature walk :) The nature is spirit soaring this time of the year, with lots of our nature friends singing happily in the morning :) this morning, there was a bird outside our window, it began to sing, and then more and more birds began to sing :) sweet nature tunes! :) i gathered a big bowl of goodies, and went outside for my nature walk :) The sun was rising up more, and creating that golden glow upon the nature :) it's awesome to see :) i put lots of goodies in our backyard :) our trees have filled in nicely, with the nice new leaves that have grown, there's this amazing peacefulness amongst the nature, especially as the new day is blossoming :) i love looking up at the trees, all of the new leaves :) it's incredible, the views of nature throughout the seasons, and year :) the trees were sleeping during winter, and now are full of leaves, it's amazing :) i love seeing our nature friends visiting our yard :) i saw some bluejays, and sparrows this morning :)

The derby was yesterday evening. i wanted to write from my heart here, about how i felt yesterday evening. i experienced some sadness, after 6pm. as it got closer to derby time. thoughts, feelings began for me, of what i miss most, about the derby day experience. i thought of missing our annual trip to the mohegan sun casino, the convention center, race book, seeing cool sights down there, the excitement of placing bets on the derby, and getting some treats at krispy kreme donuts, and coming home and counting down to the derby. the derby day without all of that, just isn't the same for us all. We did watch the derby, but the sad feelings i personally experienced, it just was hard for me to really get into it. i just didn't know how i'd feel as the evening went on. we all are experiencing times during the pandemic, of missing certain things. the mohegan sun casino, as much as we wish we could have went, we just feel it was an unnecessary risk, as lots of people go there, and many out of state travelers, and we just felt it was best not to go there yesterday, especially with the pandemic still going on. i miss those times, of our original derby days, and sharing about our mohegan sun adventure, and pictures. we're happy for all that enjoyed the derby. we all miss the usual derby day excitement. i felt depressed about it last night. i rarely feel bummed out about things, and the sad thoughts yesterday evening really bummed me out. i had to allow myself to feel sad about it, i just didn't want to surpress those feelings of my heart and spirit. i just hope next year, we're able to return to the mohegan sun, for a full derby day experience. :) i kinda wish i hadn't watched any coverage of it, especially the race, it just made me more sad, than joyful. i think until we get to return to our normal derby day traditions, i most likely won't tune into any derby stuff, until we all get to enjoy it like we use too, with the full experience of derby day. i know so many people are missing special traditions, occasions, our hearts feel for everyone, and you all have our full support. we're continuing to keep safe, taking good care, and we know with time, we'll get to be able to enjoy more, and hopefully next year, we'll have double the derby day experience, with a super long adventure at the mohegan sun on derby day in 2022 :)

Hi Chris Glad you and your family are doing well enjoying a nice Sunday. We have some sun and clouds here in the low 70's. The garden is looking great with all of the flowers and blooms. Its great you've been enjoying all your new collectibles and had a nice talk with your brother about them. Your Redskin/ Washington team collection looks awesome in your photo there. I hope you and your mom and dad get to go for a car ride soon. Hope you and Holly enjoy your shows and movies tonight. Thanks for all my nice hugs today. Have a good evening Hugs to everyone-Stephanie

Hi Chris, sorry you"re feeling depressed about not being able to attend the Derby & a whole lot of other things. I can relate. I miss going to live concerts at the casino, browsing/shopping in some of my favorites shops/stores.

I hope & pray that we will be able to have all the adventures we were accustomed to back in 2022.

Being outdoors is more important then ever! Enjoy it my friend. Hugs! Brooke & Henri
