Another beautiful day in the Lublin countryside. Everything is starting to come together. I'm getting more and more exercise, more and more physical activity. I'm forgetting about my back pain.

After the recent rains, there's hope for a successful mushroom harvest. Young boletus mushrooms are appearing. For now, there's enough for scrambled eggs with mushrooms, but maybe in a few days there will be much more.

The change is dramatic, because when I step outside, I'm already on a walk. I don't have to change or get dressed—I just go out and I'm a walking person.

If only the weather stayed the same as it has been for the past few days. It's not too warm, but it's gorgeous.>
