Quarantine 17 | Enter the Roses

Ruth and I took a walk to the beautiful Rose Garden in Arlington, and had a picnic (socially distanced) with some friends.

Thank goodness for spring.

Through the Glade area in Reston, Virginia, with a  friend, Ruth with her impossible puzzle, and irises blooming in my garden in Arlington.

Staying safe and engaged wisely in this time of isolation.
