Loving April

April started out cold, windy, and intense. But there is still so much that I am enjoying.

Tulips from our garden near the wooded area in the backyard, along with an outstanding sunset from this evening after the rain.

Last weekend, the family wined and dined at a new restaurant in the Arrowhead Shopping Center in Herndon. The Szechuan style dining was delicious and will become a frequent location for lunch with the girls..

Smithsonian – National Museum of Asian Art

While in the District of Columbia this week I did a quick pop in to the National Museum of Asian Art to see a few of the ancient Chinese bronzes.

We live in a heavily wooded area, and the fox along with racoons get into the neighbors trash containers to find items to eat. They drag their goodies into everyone’s yard for a midnght snack., but no matter …….. I always appreciate getting outside regardless of the reason and the season!

Evening Sunset

I find when life piles up and I can’t deal with one more problem or issue …… I take to the pavement, and nothing beats an evening walk to end a trying day. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy my morning hikes throughout the neighborhood, but there are so many people about ……. dog-walkers, other walkers, kids going to school or lawn crews removing the last remnants of fallen leaves.

Walking in the night air this evening the sun went down …. quickly, and while scanning the sky there was an absolutely gorgeous sunset emblazoned against the clouds. The brightest of colors circling the atmosphere as the sun set was a phenomenal display.

As I navigated the streets I could see my neighbors working on their holiday displays. Quite a few houses were already stunningly decorated with each block looking like the Vegas Strip.

When the sun is going down
That’s the golden time of day”
