The Trees Outside

The trees outside my window Are in their budding phase, With newborn leaves and blossoms In their early spring displays. I gaze at them forlornly, Behind a pane of glass And hope they aren’t autumn-like Before this all shall pass. Though fall’s my favorite season, Those rusts and golds, I think, Won’t dazzle near as much without Their prior greens and pink.

It’s all very strange isn’t it? I’m lucky to live in one of the least populated states in the union ... I can only imagine what you’re going through. Stay safe, Ilene, and don’t let these trying circumstances get you too down ...

Poignant. the difference between your existence in NY City compared to mine in rural MN. And to how you are such a social person, I can only imagine how much of a difference this all is for someone like yourself. <3<3<3 :):):)

Too bad we have a President who urges folk to spread the virus around instead of one who encourages everyone to act like THEY have the virus and do not want anyone else to get it so the virus can be controlled within weeks instead of months! Aloha! Rico
