Rick wanted to drop by yesterday morning to leave a piece of his chocolate pie for Don. When they arrived at 10 am, they had masks on and Sam was with them. So we decided to have a responsible social distancing visit with them – separated by several feet (definitely more than 6 feet.) Sam was on his leash and was handed off to us and we got to hug our favorite little boy.
Rick and Doug, with masks.
Doting aunt and uncle with Sam.
Sam is a licker and he tried to lick my face, which I normally welcome, but the darned mask stymied him. Poor guy! Rick and Doug said he really misses seeing people. We really miss him, so it was so lovely to have some time with him. And Rick and Doug, of course.
It was a cold and windy day and we had vowed to take a day off from outside chores, so we retreated back inside after our visit. I worked on this most of the day:
It’s almost done. I should finish today or tomorrow. We’re mowing today, so that will take up a chunk of time. It’s sunny out there and I can’t wait to get back outside.
I’m currently reading Love in a Cold Climateย by Nancy Mitford, having just finished Thornyholdย by Mary Stewart, a book I had on my shelf for several years but hadn’t read until now.
Puzzles and my garden/porch are keeping me sane. Don’s support and his endless gift of eliciting gales of laughter keep me grounded.
What’s keeping you sane during this time?
Stay safe.
Happy Tuesday.
