A Conversation Heard Between Two Friends

As I sat outside to write
            I heard a conversation
            " Because of the virus
           " I'm walking in the house
             I rest and read a book
             Then I go for a walk outside
             At noon I take a stroll
             I do this all day long
             Enjoy your day Clare"

What matters most is what you discover pleases you, whatever that might be, a stroll, cooking, playing with your dogs or cats, skyping and of course poetry - you describe events so pleasantly that one feels involved in them. Best wishes and hugs dear friend, Jennifer.

Well written, Darlene. I don't wear a mask; go in the stores regardless unless posted -- I keep social distancing not to offend anyone. If asked to leave I would.

I enjoy seeing people's faces and really dislike wearing a mask. I feel deep sympathy for all who must spend their day working in a hot mask. We have it easy being retired at home safe. I can relate to your words during this pandemic Darlene. I hope you are well. Blessings xxoo
