Same here. Let’s hope that people can figure it out if we see another spike in cases.

Some abide with rules but others still fall back into their old pattern . But is such a relief to know that are emerging from lockdown.

It is good that you two are taking precautions. maybe the numbers will drop off soon.

Let us hope that we use these summer months to figure out how to deal with the virus, just in case there is a resurgence in the Fall.

June we will venture into shopping and maybe even dining out! But Kansas has better numbers than Arizona, I think.

I can understand that some fall into old habits, but it usually only takes a moment to realize it and go back to the ‘new normal.’ I will continue to be wary about being in public places, and likely try to go at off times, and of course masked and gloved. I am heading out today to buy plants today, and hope people are observing the social (or actually physical) distancing guidelines.

We are lucky that our local fabulous bakery has been open, and it is walking distance so we have enjoyed some treats on special occasions. They allow 2 masked customers in at a time.

Personally, I think Covid-19 will get very bad again, and nothing we have done will help that. I suspect we’ll need to repeat, and hope that I am wrong. I think you are right, if we can successfully move through the new normal, we should be better off. However, the US has many people who feel independence and their right to choose is ‘their right,’ without thinking deeper to the consequences. While I agree independence is important, this is a time to follow the laid out guidelines.

With the lockdown just starting to be removed, we figured there wouldn’t be many people in attendance. Still, it was nice to get some sunshine.

Doreen, it is amazing how much we are all missing the some of the small comforts we have grown accustomed to having. Let us hope that we are all on the road to recovery.

It looked somewhat scarce for such a beautiful day. Sorry, but then again you looked like you had plenty of room to move around and see things better. Thanks, enjoyed your article.

It has indeed been difficult times. I was so very relieved last week when my region relaxed the rules slightly & let us get a haircut! I was surprised at how much better I felt after that. Stay well & safe!
