Yesterday was my husband’s birthday, so it’s the second
birthday we’ve celebrated during this whole Covid 19 pandemic (the first being
mine which happened just before we all went on lockdown). However, we didn’t
let that affect our plans. Since the weather forecast was rather favorable with
temperatures predicted to be in the high 70s, Andrew suggested we spend the
afternoon at Dawe’s Arboretum in Newark. I would suggest a metropark or
arboretum as a possible viable way to get some fresh air and exercise as long
as you still try to social distance if possible.
This definitely wasn’t a problem at the arboretum as we saw
probably fewer than about a dozen people during the hour and a half we spent
there (it was a bit cloudy and rain threatening).
We heard a mixture of bull frogs, birds chirping, and cars
on the nearby freeway (it will take an EMP to silence that noise). There were
soggy spots from the recent rain, but most paths (some thickly laid with wood
chips) were dry and easy to navigate.
After we got home we had a low key get together with my
sister and her husband whom we had over for dinner (we ordered out from a local
restaurant) and cake (which my sister was nice enough to provide from Graeter’s,
and has become somewhat of an annual tradition).
Have a great week everyone!
