Fun read! And I appreciated that the main character is a software engineer who became burnt out and changed course to other pursuits.

Travel mishaps left us “stuck” in San Juan for a night…but I’m not upset at all.

Nature filled Saturday

We’ve been lucky in Atlanta that the tail end of winter and beginning of spring has had some really pleasant weather so far. Most days are cool mornings followed by temps warm enough for t-shirts.

I spent most of Saturday outdoors in nature, taking advantage of the weather.

Saturday morning was spent with Trees Atlanta helping to remove invasive plant species from the park in my neighborhood. The target was Carolina cherry laurel which is considered invasive in this area, but native in the Carolinas.

Later, I took the dogs for a walk around the trails of Mason Mill, which has some nice elevated boardwalks and trails that head off from it.

Here’s some photos of one of those trails that starts out running underneath the boardwalk.

Then it winds off away.

Active freight rail passes through the center of the park.

This was my first time trying out these paths and it was fun to find two City Champion Trees, meaning they are the largest examples of the species in the greater Atlanta area.

A view from the boardwalk trail.

Later, we met up with a friend to walk around Murphy Candler Park.

From left to right we have: me, my partner Beth, and our friend Shubam. (Hi, Shubam!)

It was a great day! I’m feeling content that I was able to spend so much time outdoors. Easy access to nature, even right outside my door, is one of the things that I really enjoy about living in this city.

Finished reading: Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler 📚

I really enjoyed this series, but ended up preferring Sower over Talents. Very glad to have read the two books back to back, as I felt I may have bounced off of Talents if I had too much time between the two.
