sunshine

It's a cool 58 degrees this morning but the sunshine outside makes you want to jog out there. It will warm up to at least 76 degrees later today. I live in a climate that is warmer than most in the US so that being outside is possible. Outdoors brings into the body vitamin D into my system. Starting this month I am including at least 30 minutes or more of sunshine into my health diary. Lately, I scheduled in picking oranges for fresh orange juice, reading outside an hour or more and gardening.  Things are flowering now as my geraniums are looking fantastic.
