It's been quite awhile since I visited my blog. I plan on doing some cards this weekend for some craft therapy. I'll be sure to post them. I was looking through photos today and came across these from March 7th. They're from a hike we took, while on an overnight camp with my son's Cub Scout pack. It was a little chilly but the sun was out, you could see the buds on the trees and a whiff of spring was in the air. Little did we know while we enjoyed our hike, that only four days later Italy would have to close it's borders and that the following week we would be in quarantine due to COVID-19. Looking at these photos now, it's hard to believe they're only from three weeks ago tomorrow. I've been fortunate to get all this time with my son and getting things done around the house, but it's such a surreal time and I often have anxiety over what's going on. We're doing our best to get outside for some fresh air and a walk in our neighborhood and I hope that continues. But I long for the day this virus is over. I can go see my parents and other family without fear of making anyone sick. The day we can all get out of our neighborhoods and go for a hike again or even a road trip to explore somewhere new. For now, I'm finding these photos calming and they give me hope.
