I love the energy of spring! I also love the names of this moon: "Budding Moon" or "New Shoots Moon"--so apt for what's happening right now. Thank you for your words!
Lovely topic, Lindsey. I think I’m already living friluftsliv! Every day except really rainy or snowy ones, I hike at least 2 hours through the forests of pine, cedar, fir, and oak here in the middle elevations of the Sierra Nevadas. That much forest time is transforming. I’ve come to think of the forest as a village of friends who allow me to visit and join in the life of the forest every day. I’m still an outsider (since I don’t live in the forest) but a familiar and welcome one. I’ve lived in this area for 42 years, so I definitely have roots in this place and environment.
Ha! It sure does. I ordered a copy for me and a friend! I remember the first time I saw a Great Lake. As someone who has always lived on the coast, I was shocked at how similar the vastness felt!
We are having all kinds of weather in southern Idaho lately. Blizzard yesterday and 70 degrees and sunny this weekend. Love spring and all of its contrast!

Beautiful!
Well you have me convinced to buy another book! Being on the friluftsliv!
That TBR list keeps getting longer 😂 I think you will love it! I wish I lived on a coast - but my beautiful Great Lake is just a 20 minute drive away.

That is true. My corner of Lake Erie is narrow and if the weather is good, sometimes you can see nearly to the other side!

Yes! I have a friend in Utah who had a blizzard last week too - so wild!
Thanks for the mention, Lindsey! I have the Open-Air Life book but haven't even looked at it. I will sooner than later....
