Lesson 639: Foolish

Hello, Readers.
I spied this pretty robin on my walk.
She is just so perfect.

Nature is a fine place to be right now.

You never know what you'll find on a walk.

A Forest Gump feather, 

Bluebirds,

Bluebird houses on a teddy bear tree,

and a teddy bear waiting for you to see!

Hazel is all tuckered out from all the walking we've been doing,

and from her sudden ascent to fame

being featured on the dog walk forecast

for Channel 12!

We are finishing our third week of social distancing.

This is my Alone Together shot of the week.

Here is my Always Together shot of the week:

Grandma and Grandpa 

on their 53rd wedding anniversary.

April Fool's Day is one of my mother's favorite holidays.

She's an ace.

This year she told me someone posted on facebook

that Hazel had fleas.

Got me.

Being a chip off the old block,

I couldn't let the holiday slide

despite all the crazy of reality.

I texted my sister that the 6-12 inches of snow

would probably melt fast......

Got her!

I saw this idea on pinterest,

 I replicated the eyes to stare back at us

as we frequently open the refrigerator

hoping to find something wonderful

magically appeared inside.

Would I be a fool not to give mention

to World Autism Day on April 2nd?

Cousin Bonnie came up with this clever idea.

In truth, 

I hardly thought about autism awareness month,

racial tension,

the MeToo movement,

or how the royals are handling Megan and Harry.

It all seems so unimportant.

My days are divided in thirds:

Home tasks,

school tasks,

and peeks out into the world

near me and beyond.

I make sure I catch the top stories

of the morning and evening news,

read the newspaper,

and keep abreast of local stories that are close to home.

Staying informed

is staying smart.

As my mother says,

We're all going to die someday,

but don't die stupid!

Be smart out there, Readers.

Take precautions even if you don't think you need to.

Americans are used to their freedom

and have a hard time following 

governmental recommendations and mandates.

Don't let your stupidity

be our collective downfall.

Happy to ride through this storm with you.

We will rebound from all of this

just like the bluebirds did--

at the hands of happily caring humans.
