Dogwood park is closing tomorrow with the announcement of the stay at home order for the state of North Carolina. Only essential movement is permitted. We decided to take advantage of the gorgeous day and meet our Son and family at the park for the first time on over three weeks. We picnicked using two tables and spread out making no physical contact with them. How odd not to greet with hugs! It was a beautiful day and the dogwoods for which the park was named were in full bloom.
A beautiful day
Park will be closed from now on…
Dogwoods still blooming
Other families were enjoying the park….

Beautiful park, Dwight!
I think authorities are going overboard with the lockdown.
(It’s easier staying six feet apart in open countryside, than when food shopping.)

Yes, food stores seem to be the worst offenders!

Yes, and we also got to see our family. That is the worst thing about the stay at home thing.

Beautiful trees opening to spring there, Dwight. A few here are missing the family hugs, too. Hopefully they will all come back once this virus has runs its course. Stay safe and be well there.

I think that is the key, keeping distance. Unfortunately, there are still groups of people congregating and this is not very good.
