This Too Shall Pass

Madison County, Virginia

 

Like a late spring snow.

 

From my window, as I work remotely in semi-quarantine, I can see the red tulips coming up around the dogwood where they have bloomed for each of the last 20+ years. Wedding gifts, we planted them, along with a lot of other hopeful things, when we had so much to look forward to.

These photos were all taken in March snows that came to Virginia in all the past 10 years, all but this year. We had no real snows this year. Maybe that’s the new normal.

But the tulips and the dogwoods will continue to bloom. Next year, and the next. Maybe long after we’re gone.

Covid-19 Project #1 – Porch Rail

Scottsville, Virginia

Need to make five of these railings, one for each bay. Had enough wood laying around to do one. But hey, that’s one! Plenty of other things to do to keep busy for weeks, if it comes to that.
