Saint Paul MN - A few more sights from the neighborhood

Walking, biking and a bit of socializing in much smaller groups than normal.  And officially rained on twice over the weekend while on the bike. 

Saint Paul MN - Another socially distanced patio evening

Enjoyed a Friday evening at Mary's taking the lovely spring evening and a bit of conversation.
We kept our distance but for a moment catching pics to capture the evening.

Saint Paul MN - Another week, more of the same

The walks continue and the bike rides increase - and the general day to day routine continues well over 2 months now. 
All good - and the long weekend ahead....much the same as every other day this year.

Saint Paul MN - Nam Graduation Party 2020

This week should have had Nam's parents visiting Minnesota and many, many celebrations related to graduation. 
With rain approaching tomorrow it would have been another indoor graduation but still a grand celebration. 
Instead, tonight we gathered on my deck, our small group, and zoomed Alex in from Seattle for a bit. 
We all gathered on March 14 for lasagna just as things were starting to blow up.  And we gathered again today, 2 months later, for another lasagna evening............and I have more in the freezer!
Expect we will continue with some ongoing mini-celebrations over time since Nam has chosen to hang around Minnesota for awhile - and luckily has a job locked in. 

Saint Paul MN - the routine continues........

Life remains much the same.  Still under the stay at home order, but for exercise, or if you have an assault rifle and want to show it off it seems.
Still getting walks and now bike rides in. 
Spring has finally arrived - and rain ahead we are told.  And we need it.

Saint Paul MN - and staying home goes on.....

Not much to report here.  I am good at staying home. 
Other than the daily walk, and now bike rides, I am hanging close to home.
Not complaining at all - have a routine that fills the days.  And finding many new streets and corners of the neighborhood to wander through. 

Saint Paul MN - Another day another walk

Another day another wander. 
Been lots of great mornings this week - so a whole lot easier to get out there.

Saint Paul MN - 2 constants day to day

There are 2 constants I walk and I stay at home. 
That is life as we move from Q1 to Q2 of 2020. 
The walks get longer to keep the days from feeling that they are getting longer. 

Saint Paul MN - Celebrating 65 for Mary in 2020

Still sitting at home as part of our Covid19 effort.
So Mary got a Zoom party to celebrate he 65th Birthday.

Saint Paul MN - Another day, another walk

We are pretty consistent with our first thing in the morning walk - may miss one a week. 
Today we ran across a little neighborhood work out spot with some unique touches. 
Gotta enjoy the little things you find in the current environment.

Saint Paul MN - Happy Easter 2020

Well despite the craziness of Covid19 we set another record as the most snow ever on Easter Sunday. 
Why not - took the day off from walking, but still had a nice enjoyable day. 
They say we got 4 - where it stayed I had a whole more than that on my deck.......

Saint Paul MN - Social Distancing walking buddies

We are getting in 2 hours plus/minus walks almost daily to get the day going.
Ghost, the dog, keeps us moving.
We might as well keep walking, it just fills more of the day.
Fabulous Saturday morning so we did a double hill walk. 

Saint Paul MN - Hmmm only in Minnesota I think

We got a fabulous spring afternoon today.  And so social distanced my way to the Post Office on foot. 
On my path I ran across a niche protest group that made me laugh - only in Minnesota I think!

Saint Paul MN - Surviving the "Stay Home Plan"

Cheikh seems to have enough class work to keep him busy and out of trouble. 
I had added a puzzle to my daily schedule - way behind Eileen and team DeMarkey that seem to be kicking them out almost daily.

Saint Paul MN - Hanging at Home

Not much to post when you are asked to stay at home - and nothing is open to go to anyway.
Been getting in long walks each day and working on miscellaneous projects day to day. 
Seems like early spring is going to happen so that will open up the deck, yard and biking as well.
Had a couple visitors hanging out in the front yard when I came back home earlier today.
