The cleaners were here so I spent the morning out, walking, and visiting the local library, not the one I go to for the knitting group, that's one town away. It's open for more than quick visits now, and I found the Youth Art Month exhibit still up in the gallery.
These were the works of middle school students, and I was impressed all over again. What great teaching they get, and there's a lot of talent.
Then I sat in the main area, knitting and reading, where a few other people, widely spaced, were reading and working online. It was one of the best mornings, being safely among people, sociable but distanced.
I ran into a library staffer I hadn't seen in years and had a great chat. I like the situation of being alone but in company, with human activity that doesn't demand my participation.
And when I was leaving I got a great greeting from a lovely big retriever, maybe a flat coat, judging from his friendly temperament. He just made me feel like an important part of his day, too. Maybe that's the secret of dogs and their humans, come to think of it.
Then home to a clean, well lighted place, oops I'm quoting. And I may have come across a paper project to get into, in the intervals of knitting for the Sock Ministry,
more tomorrow about that. Just need a change of materials for a break.
