Ruth and I spent a few days on the road. I only made two pictures(!!) - of the Whately Diner in Massachusetts, and cormorants perched on a tree at dusk in West Orange, New Jersey.
Thanks to our gracious hosts- Laura and Steve Sachs, the Yiddish Book Center, and Carol Krauss and John Malmberg.
Our local Canada goose couple, Dan and Shirley hatched a brood of three goslings recently. The male, Dan, lost his life protecting the family from the fox that also carried off two of the goslings. So far Shrley and the remaining gosling, who Ruth & I have dubbed Doodle, are OK.
Interestingly, a second goose couple has arrived and seems to be acting as a guard for the mother and child.
Quarantine Diary 34. Ruth and I spent a happy day wandering along the Potomac River waterfront and in Old Town, Alexandria VA.
As my old friend and former mayor of the city, the honorable Allison Silberberg puts it "Alexandria is a national treasure."
The only downside was a few pro-Tr*mpf people observing a boat rally on the river. They seemed both odd and dispirited. They were certainly vastly outnumbered by the happy and diverse folks strolling by.
We had a lovely day. A blessing.
