I have seen more friends in the last ten days than I saw in the last fourteen months.
Full face, in person!
This state is among the US states that have fully vaccinated at least 50 percent of adults. Half the states have.
That's not enough for herd immunity (per Mayo), but it's enough to have a picnic!
Sophie (below, center) threw me a belated birthday picnic party in her backyard yesterday.
Iced tea in stemmed glasses... fruit salad, avocado & lox toasts, and all sort of desserts, including raspberry and mango macarons.The girlettes were invited too!
"Under the Linden trees in Paris," they say. (!? It was a crab apple.)
Sophie made them croissants ^ (out of clay).
Pensive Bear prefers chocolate chip cookies because they look like polka dots.
(Close-up photos by bink.)
Good thing they were still wearing their Circus costumes:
"There was even a miniature Eiffel Tower for acrobats."
They checked out the people food too.
"Unwieldy," Penny Cooper declares. "Ours is nicer."
I'd had to stop for the picnic, so this morning--back to painting my walls white.
I am not tidy. But I did follow protocol--washed the walls (as you quite rightly say, River) and everything.
