It has now been a week since our school has been closed due to COVID-19 pandemic. In this time of learning in a new way, I decided to keep a blog (which is new to me) about my new learning during this time.
I am learning to balance time outside with time online and in the house. I am walking daily, walking a little further each day. Sometimes I stop and spend quiet time with my cow neighbors, where we just watch each other. I imagine the cows thinking, "What is that human doing? She's a bit suspicious! We should keep an eye on her!"
Sometimes I check in with neighbors who are also outside. We keep our physical distance while we talk to keep each other safe and check up on each other. Sometimes I talk during my walk on my phone with family and friends.
Sometimes I clean a garden of the old stems and leaves and branches. It is definitely my first time doing that in March! The quiet time in the garden, working to get the flowers ready to bloom this spring and summer, working in the dirt.
