Just us.
My dear wife Karen and I were mostly able to carve our own space at Onondaga Lake Park on Easter Sunday.
Some folks on the trails were not wearing masks at they walked, biked or skated. What were they thinking, we asked ourselves.
Others did.
We kept to six feet away. And went to water’s edge for a few moments of just-us ahhhhhh.

I think the getting ‘out’ is key to being well. Even if I go in the backyard, or the front yard, the deck or the porch, it’s better than NOT going out. 🙂

Nature is my saving grace through lo of this! Can’t imagine what others are doing that can not.
Tell your dear wife she looks great!

Yes, Nance, escaping to a slice of nature helps the mind so much during our isolationists times. Be it a big park, a backyard, or, I suspect, a balcony or window looking out over a courtyard or street, the psychological effects of change and release could and should be similar!

i’m so glad that you both were able to do this. heading out into nature each day is really helping me during this challenging time. i also wonder what people are thinking when they don’t take considerate precautions when heading out.

They are not thinking or they are not caring or they are not believing or they are following the philosophies of bull-headed people or all of the above, Beth.
