I am in it most days. Watching the birds, the poodles' antics, the rhythm of the swaying treetops, and relaxing are so essential right now to keep my mental health with the collapse of our democracy in full tilt. A cold craft beer, some pupus, and friendly banter help, too.
Stay well!

I slice bananas, cube cucumbers, and put green grapes in a bowl and stir in a teaspoon of Thousand Island dressing. The bananas provide a mild tasted, the cucumbers provide the crunch, and the green grapes provide the sweetness. The dressing adds a little zest to the mixture. What's I like about this concoction is it is a lite snack with few calories but you still get a helping of fruit and vegetables.
