Did the first "normal" things in 30 days yesterday and today.

The rest of the world may stop but the grass doesn't. Mowed about half of the three acres I mow, yesterday. The other half today feels good getting some air and doing something that seems normal.

Walked through some neighborhoods we haven’t been through before. Beautiful day, still not too hot. Around sundown so we got to see some of the almost full moon when it came up.

Stayed in the street since it’s easier to avoid people but everyone was keeping their distance as well.

Not a lot of people. Much less car traffic.

We waved and said hello to a number of people on their porches.

We only got a few miles in and I need more air so maybe we’ll go back out after work.

Plus cutting next year's firewood on the cooler days. I hope to have it all sliced and stacked before the warmer weather sets in.

But that is a normal thing for some. The craziness is getting unbearable. A little normal is good medicine.

into my compost pile. I need some grass clippings to get the composting really going.

Would you bring me a yard or two?

I'll maintain social distance and leave ya a beer or 5.

It is the thing that help more than anything.

Seeing dolphins, manatees, eagles and catching our supper is the most relaxing anything in the world.
