It’s so good to hear from you, too, Rosaliene. Teaching this past semester has been overwhelming. Only one-third of my students were able to complete the course before grades were due early this week. Even so, I was buried in papers that required me to read original sources to make sense of what they were trying to communicate. I am waiting to be buried once again when late papers arrive from the rest of the students! The only breaks have been my two daily walks with my dog. I let him choose which way to go on our first morning walk and only head back home when he begins to look tired. So often, I have wished I could take photos of sights we pass in our travels, but that’s not something he would tolerate. Yesterday, I decided to go out again to take a few photos. I wanted to capture some of the amazingly creative sidewalk art before it disappeared in the rain that was imminent!

It felt important to show a different side of life in lock-down that may disappear when we’re all too busy to remember to take time to witness and/or create beauty, even if it’s only temporary and free for anyone to see.
