There is no such thing as taking too much time, because your soul is in that picture.

I know in my last post I talked already about how much it has rained and flooded soooooo much here in north Georgia, and how I was battling a case of spring fever since we only had one decent snow this winter. Well, this has turned in a very rainy spring indeed. The good news is that the temperature has mostly warmed up to a comfortable range. The bad news is (like most of the country) we are social distancing and trying to refrain from going out in public as much as possible, especially in places that may be crowded. Since the coronavirus began to pick up pace, and schools here closed, my daughter and I have been stuck in the house a whole lot. She was getting stir crazy before the school closure officially began. and the incessant rain has not helped us. We both have a difficult time staying inside all day, unlike my wife, and the rainy spring is causing us to be creative keeping ourselves entertained. The only getting out we have done has been for me to grocery shop, and for us to take walks to the duck pond in our neighborhood. It has also been difficult tending to my at home teacher responsibilities and making sure my daughter completes all of her learning activities each day. Thankfully, we did get a nice weekend day a few weeks ago that we got to take advantage of. My daughter and I took our dog, Lucy, to go hiking for the first time on an actual trail. She loved it, and we had a good time. I wish we could have better weather to enjoy the outdoors at this time when that is the only way to get out of the house and get any exercise or just take a break from the stuffy indoors. I know we are lucky here near Chattanooga that we are still able to go out at all. Since we live across the border in north Georgia, we are able to still go to some playgrounds, parks, and trails to engage in some physical activity. Even right near us in Chattanooga, they have closed all city parks, and I know in other areas of the country that have more cases than we do, people are not allowed to leave their house for non-essential reasons. Once again, the current state of things AND the weather make it impossible to offer portrait sessions at this time. Keep posted, and I will let you know as soon as we are able to set something up. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures and videos of Lexi and Lucy from the recent day hiking!!
