Garden-dancing is a great aerobic exercise!

Honestly, I cannot imagine living someplace like Oklahoma or in any of the interior states. My 65 years have always been on the east coast and within 90 minutes of the ocean. I live on a lake now and love every moment of it. I need to be near water.

Of course, there are lakes and rivers in the U.S. interior but somehow that whole area feels confined, dry, and desolate to me. Yes, I am painting with a big brush here! Just saying that is my erroneous perception. So, I hope your poetry, stories, and photography will change my mind — consider that a challenge, Aimée! 😃
