This just popped up in my feed and made me so happy – I think it was just nice to see something life-affirming. Two of my neighbors have babies born just before the shutdown and I wonder how they are managing as I keep a safe distance as coo at them as I walk the dogs.

Also, today my parents celebrated 60 years of marriage. I am hoping at some point I’m going to be able to visit them again. For me, not seeing my family has been the hardest part of this.
And finally, love this little video. When my friend was fostering puppies, we’d always bring Bixby over when they were ready for socializing and the transformation was astonishing. When they could take on the “Big Dog” their confidence would soar. And Bixby would just play along.
How are things going in your world? Everyone hanging in there? What do you do to unplug? Today I actually gardened, it felt almost normal and it was nice to say hi to the neighbors. I gave a box of sidewalk chalk to the 7-year-old next door (who before all this would come over and ask to see the ducks). She rewarded me with drawings all in front of my house.
