What's going on? – For me, and I expect many others, the answer is the traditional,
"not much."
With all the extra time on my hands, I should be getting
more, not less accomplished. I do get in about two hours each day writing or editing,
an hour or so in my shop, gardens, or yard. The rest of the time, I waste.
Maybe not all of it – I have done a good bit of reading – on the deck in the
sunshine when I can.

Typing Skills – My typing skills, with a broken finger, have deteriorated recently.
Took me years to become a proper typist, now I am one hand regular, and one
hand two fingers.
Social Distancing – Much has been made of distancing ourselves from others recently.
Everyone I know takes this quite seriously, but it can be kind of funny here.
We live in a 2,111 square mile county with 8,391 other folks. Using my handy
phone calculator, that means we have 3.98 people per square mile. Our county
has two stoplights, both 26 miles away in Wheatland. As Wyomingites have been
saying all along – "we have always social distanced." It is easier
here - where standing or waiting in any kind of line is an oddity.

Meanwhile – It is getting close to spring flower and garden time – a time for rejuvenation
for all. And now would be an excellent time for me to get back to work. Book
13, another nonfiction book on aging, and all of the joys that go with it will
be finished this month.

Photos – Wyoming's few people do make it possible for us to get out and
walk/hike on nice days. Today's photos are from recent hikes in Guernsey State
Park and from my backyard deck.
Take care, my friends!
