Gathering Graces 4/3/2020 Beaver Lodge...A Cure for the Nutty

We are all experiencing it.

That feeling of restlessness....boredom....depression.....despondency.

I have heard it referred to as the Corona Crazies....numbness.....my own personal phrase is "feeling nutty".

And when I feel the "nutty" coming on, I need to get outside.

Paul came home from his run today and said he saw a beaver lodge and that we should take a walk later to go check it out.

Even though it was snowing, Paul, Zoe and I braved the weather as we searched for the beaver lodge.

What an incredible walk.  I loved seeing the trees chewed down by the beavers, the beaver lodge and the beaver dam.  We also saw a trail used by deer or elk to get from one side of the trail to the other.

Here are a few photos from our walk.

Today was Paul's Dad's Birthday and we helped his mom and siblings celebrate by doing a Google Hangout.  It was fun to see everyone and talk a little bit and do some virtual communicating.  This is another way to help keep the "nutty" at bay.
