(But April 12 to me)
Isolation Diary: Time in the garden. Responses from friends I reached out to. Conversations begun. Continued editing a children’s story I wrote long ago. Danced. Tai chi. and as I write this it is already Monday and my birthday. I like my birthday. Late Sunday afternoon my Ring notified me that there was movement at my door. I heard voices. Opening the app, which takes way too long!, I realized I knew the people on my front porch. They were Jessie (daughter) and Duncan (grandson). They were putting up happy birthday decoration which….if I didn’t have a Ring and didn’t hear them …i might have been delightfully surprised on Monday morning when I went out to pick up the paper. As it was, i got to talk in person with them. A highly valued treat. The sign says Happy Birthday Ruth, you can’t quite see that in the photo.
