Hello everyone, Benson here. How was everyone’s April? I hope everybody is looking forward to May! I find the evenings in May to be refreshing, which makes it ideal for evening walks.

As the days grow longer, May invites us to take leisurely walks in the evening light. There’s a golden glow that lingers just a little longer, casting soft shadows and making everything feel peaceful. The temperature is just right—not too hot, not too cold—creating the perfect atmosphere to wander without a destination. I love listening to the soft rustle of leaves, the distant chirping of birds, and the hum of the world settling down for the night. These moments of quiet remind me to slow down and enjoy the simple beauty of the season. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. It’s finally the end of April! How is everyone? To relax, there are many people who like to simply gaze at the clouds passing by. April is one of the better months to do so!

Lying on the grass and watching the clouds is one of those childhood habits that I think we should never outgrow. April skies are particularly beautiful, filled with big, fluffy clouds that shift and change before your eyes. I love looking up and letting my imagination turn them into shapes and creatures. It’s a peaceful way to spend an afternoon, a reminder to slow down and appreciate the simple joys in life. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone? I hope everyone has been able to enjoy April. When I’m outside, I really enjoy the warmer breeze that’s in April. In a few months, that same breeze won’t be as refreshing.

There’s a moment in April when you feel the season shifting—not just by sight, but by touch. The wind, once crisp and biting, turns warm and gentle. It carries the scent of damp earth and fresh blooms, a subtle but unmistakable sign that winter is truly gone. I love standing still for a moment when this happens, closing my eyes and feeling the warmth settle on my skin. It’s one of those quiet, perfect moments that reminds me why spring is so special. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. I can’t believe it’s already the middle of April! How is everyone? Has anyone enjoyed the April showers and the spring bloom? I think one of the most underrated things about April is being able to consistently air out your home!

After months of keeping the cold air out, there’s something freeing about finally opening the windows in April. The fresh breeze carries the scent of new leaves and flowers, filling the house with the unmistakable energy of spring. It’s a simple pleasure—hearing the distant sounds of birds and feeling the soft air drift through the room. Every time I open a window in April, it feels like I’m letting spring inside. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone doing? I hope everyone has been enjoying April and the weather so far. I think April is also a time when everything springs into life.

One of my favorite moments in April is when the trees suddenly burst into bloom. Seemingly overnight, bare branches transform into delicate clouds of white and pink. The sight of blossoms dancing in the wind brings a quiet kind of joy, as if nature itself is celebrating the season. These fleeting flowers remind me to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the present moment. Whether it’s a single bloom or an entire row of flowering trees, these soft petals signal the heart of spring. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How was everyone’s March? I hope it went well and that you got to experience many different things. April is here, is everyone excited? When I think of April, I think of rain.

April showers are more than just a cliché; they bring a refreshing change to the air. There’s something special about stepping outside after a spring rain—the scent of wet earth and blooming flowers is almost intoxicating. The world feels washed clean, as if nature is pressing a reset button. Even on rainy days, I find comfort in the sound of droplets hitting the roof, knowing that each drop is helping new life emerge. April’s rain might be frequent, but I’ve learned to appreciate it as a sign of growth and renewal. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. Welcome to the end of March! How is everyone feeling? Did everyone have a good March? What did you accomplish? What did you experience? I had a great March personally. Part of why March is good for many people is the first appearance of green into our surroundings.

In March, the first hints of green begin to appear, breaking up the browns and grays of winter. Whether it’s the first leaves sprouting on trees, patches of grass peeking through the snow, or tiny plants emerging from the soil, these little splashes of color feel like a promise of what’s to come. I love walking outside and noticing these changes, feeling that sense of anticipation grow. Spring isn’t fully here yet, but it’s close, and these tiny glimpses of green are proof that life is returning. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone doing? We are deep into the middle of March now, how is your month going? Has March been an interesting month full of adventure and experiences? Or has it been an easy breezy kind of March? Speaking of breezy, let’s talk about the feeling of the wind, especially in March.

There’s a distinct kind of breeze in March—one that no longer carries winter’s sharp bite but instead whispers of warmer days ahead. I love standing outside and feeling that gentle, cool wind against my skin, watching it rustle through trees that are just beginning to bud. It’s a quiet but powerful shift, a reminder that change is happening all around us. These breezes feel like nature’s way of nudging us out of winter’s slumber, encouraging us to step outside and embrace the transition. Until next time, take care everyone.



  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone doing? How was the first week of March for everyone? Did it start off well? Last time we talked about spring and with spring comes a variety of blooming flowers. Admittedly I’m not that much of an expert on flowers, but I do enjoy learning about the different flowers that bloom in spring. Do you have any favorite spring flowers?

There’s something magical about spotting the first flowers of the season. After months of muted winter tones, those first bright blooms—snowdrops, crocuses, and daffodils—feel like nature’s way of saying, Spring is here! Even in colder regions where snow still lingers, these little flowers push through, reminding us of the resilience of life. I love taking slow walks in March, searching for these tiny signs of change. It’s a simple yet powerful moment of joy, proof that winter is giving way to the season of renewal. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How was everyone’s February? Was it short but sweet for everyone? What kinds of things did you accomplish or experience in February? Now that we’re in March, our attention turns to the gradually increasing temperatures. March is almost like a pathway to spring and with that comes different activities you can experience!

March is a month of transition, a bridge between winter’s chill and the warmth of spring. While snow may still linger in some places, there’s a quiet shift happening all around. The air feels a little softer, and the sun lingers in the sky a bit longer. I always find that the first hints of spring—melting ice, budding trees, or the sound of birds returning—bring a sense of renewed energy. It’s a time to notice the little changes, to step outside and breathe in the fresh air, knowing that warmer days are just ahead. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. We are almost at the end of February! How did February go for everyone? What were some things that everyone did in February? Did you all achieve your dreams in February? Speaking of dreams, winter will be ending soon and the beginning of spring is coming. Is everyone excited about spring? How will everyone be enjoying the last moments of winter?

As February draws to a close, I find myself savoring the last quiet moments of winter. Soon, the world will begin to wake up with the arrival of spring, but February holds a special place as a time of peace and reflection. The snow is still crisp, the air still holds a chill, and the days are gradually growing longer. It’s a time to appreciate the beauty of stillness before the hustle of a new season begins. February reminds us to enjoy the present moment, making the most of winter’s unique serenity. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone’s February going? Did you all have a nice time last week? What was one thing that you saw or heard last week? Speaking of things to look out for, let’s talk about winter birds, especially ones that appear in February in some places.

One of my favorite things about February is observing the birds that stay active during winter. Chickadees, cardinals, and sparrows are just a few of the feathered friends that bring color and life to the otherwise muted landscape. I love watching them flit around, their movements quick and lively despite the cold. Feeding birds during February feels like a way to connect with nature in its quieter moments. Seeing them perched on snowy branches or searching for seeds in the frost-covered ground is a reminder of the resilience and beauty that exists even in the depths of winter. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone doing? I hope your February is going well. My February has been going well so far, it’s been an exciting month. Speaking of exciting, I think February is a month where we can all look forward to our days gradually growing longer.

February marks a subtle but exciting shift—the days are gradually growing longer. While winter’s grip is still strong, the extra minutes of daylight bring a renewed sense of hope. It’s in February that I start noticing the light lasting just a little longer each evening, as if the world is slowly waking up. This change feels like a quiet promise of the spring to come, even if the ground remains covered in snow. February’s lengthening days inspire me to spend more time outdoors, soaking in the precious sunlight and imagining the brighter days ahead. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How was everyone’s January? Did everyone have a good start to your new year? Was January an exciting month or a more low-key affair? Speaking of low-key, let’s talk about color and February. February definitely has a more muted color palette, especially in places with wintery landscapes. I guess contrasting that to the excessive pink of next week has always been interesting for me.

While February may lack the vibrant colors of other seasons, its soft, muted palette has a charm all its own. Shades of white, grey, and icy blue dominate the landscape, creating a serene and calming atmosphere. The occasional pops of green from evergreen trees or red from a cardinal perched in the snow only add to the visual appeal. This subdued color scheme encourages reflection and quiet moments, a perfect match for winter’s slower pace. February’s natural beauty is understated but undeniable, reminding us that even the simplest things can be breathtaking. Until next time, take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. We are nearing the end of January, how is everyone doing? Are you all busy accomplishing your goals in January? What things have you all been reflecting on recently? For me, it’s been filling my January stomach.

January is a month that calls for simple, comforting meals. After the richness of holiday food, I find myself craving hearty but uncomplicated dishes—soups, stews, and warm bread fresh from the oven. These meals are not only nourishing but also bring a sense of warmth and coziness to the coldest days of the year. There’s something satisfying about preparing a meal that warms both the body and soul, using seasonal ingredients like root vegetables and grains. January invites us to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of a home-cooked meal, filling the house with warmth and delicious aromas. Take care everyone, see you next time!


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone doing today? I hope everyone has been warm and bundled up. Speaking of being warm, let me tell you a bit about winter walks in the snow, something that I miss back home.

January is a wonderful month for winter walks. The snow crunches underfoot, the air is crisp and refreshing, and the landscape is often beautifully quiet. I find that these walks offer a perfect way to clear my mind and appreciate the serene beauty of winter. There’s something special about walking through a park or wooded area, where the trees are bare but draped in snow, creating an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Winter walks also provide a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy nature, even when the world is cold and still. It’s a peaceful way to embrace the season’s beauty. So go out and enjoy some winter beauty, whatever that might be for you. Take care everyone.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. We have reached the halfway point of January, how is everyone doing? Is everyone accomplishing their goals so far? Are you all still excited for the year ahead? I want to talk about staying indoors during January. I am an indoor cat, so naturally I do like staying indoors regardless. However, staying indoors during January is special because you can observe so many interesting winter things happening outside but in the comfort and warmth of your home.

January’s cold days and long nights make staying indoors feel especially inviting. I love the feeling of being wrapped up in a warm blanket with a hot drink in hand, watching the snowfall outside. There’s no rush to go anywhere, no pressure to be productive—January is a time for relaxation and comfort. Whether it’s spending the day reading, binge-watching a favorite show, or just enjoying the quiet of home, this month offers the perfect excuse to slow down. After the busy holiday season, there’s something incredibly refreshing about these cozy, unhurried days. Take care everyone, see you next time.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. How is everyone’s January going so far? It’s still quite early in the month but I hope the fresh start has been nice. Today, I will talk about sunlight. Now, I am somewhat of a vampire but I do enjoy basking in the sunlight every now and then. Especially sunlight during the winter. There’s a special quality about it, contrasting with the crisp, cold air. I like it, does everyone else like winter sunlight? Do you also think I’m a vampire?

Winter sunlight has a special quality to it. In January, the light is often soft and golden, casting long shadows and creating a serene atmosphere. I love how the low sun glints off the snow, making everything sparkle. While the days are short, the few hours of sunlight feel precious, and I try to spend as much time outside as possible, soaking in the natural beauty of the season. There’s a certain stillness in the winter air that makes the sunlight even more striking, reminding me that even in the coldest months, there’s warmth and beauty to be found. I hope everyone has a great week ahead, take care.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. It’s the new year and with a new year brings new beginnings, of sorts. Does everyone like fresh starts? I don’t but I’m sure some people do. Sometimes, fresh starts are necessary to bring about the change you’re looking for. We can use this as a marker for new beginnings and launching into new endeavors.

January always feels like a fresh start. The new year brings with it a sense of possibility and renewal, and I love taking time in the first days of January to reflect on my goals for the year ahead. There’s something refreshing about beginning a new chapter, especially after the rush of the holidays. January’s quiet, snowy landscape mirrors this feeling of a blank slate, as if the world itself is giving us a chance to start anew. Whether it’s setting personal goals or simply embracing a slower pace, January is the perfect time to reset and look forward to what’s ahead. Until next time, take care.


  

Hello everyone, Benson here. It’s Christmas Day! Merry Christmas. How is everyone doing? I hope you are doing well.

How is everybody spending their Christmas Day? Are you all doing something special with your family and friends? Are you spending the day indoors or outdoors? Do you think everybody should do something special for Christmas Day? I enjoy volunteering on Christmas Day, but I would love to hear what you all do for Christmas. I hope everyone spends Christmas Day doing what they want to do and find a bit of happiness along the way. Take care everyone!
