Isolation Diary: Thank you to David Mayes for bringing us the substance of the daily ‘briefings’ from our (ouch) president. Most of us couldn’t bare to watch as they were rambling, repetitive, self-serving, and full of dodgy information. But, back to me, today I made fig newtons. Made with fig sauce I made last year from my own figs and froze. These are good, the best I’ve ever made. What am I going to do with them? Maybe I will leave some on my neighbors’ porches, ring the bell and run away. Some Fools (Sacred Fools Theater Company members) got together on Zoom and tried to sing a song. So nice to see these people! Also, as stated in a post elsewhere, I worked on cartoonish sketches of Fig. Examples below. The idea being that maybe I could draw a story featuring a Fig like character. Maybe. And some work in the garden, tussling with the devouring vine. I am safely back inside now.
I decided not make a Fig story, he was still too young for such a thing.

Oh keep and freeze those cookies! I’d probably toss any food that came from a neighbor in this virus-y climate. Hold onto them to eat or give as a gift later!Ruth Silveira
Yeah, that’s probably right. I mean the unpracticality of leaving homemade cookies for a neighbor. I did freeze most of them, to be eaten or distributed later.Susan J.
Oh! Little cartoon Fig! You’ve captured him already.Joyce H.
