Quarantine road runs long as does the road from the public street all the way to the old farm house. Still, we are stuck here.

Waiting For Dandelions.

Quarantine continues here in Boston. Each day, the air gets cleaner. We have had weird weather freak snow storms…. At one point we lost power due to weather. But today, though a bit cold, is beautiful. The sun is shining and the cerulean sky seems to be laughing. As if the light breeze had told…
