The highlight today was a trip to the farmers market for local produce -- rainbow chard, arugula, cherry tomatoes, corn, snap peas and wild blueberries. I ate some corn at supper with a Caprese salad made with purplish heirloom tomatoes from the market last week. The fresh blueberries were mixed with lemon yogurt for a yummy dessert. The research meetings resumed this week after a break during most of August. The evening brought an online jazz quartet featuring original music inspired by sculptures gy a single artist. It was stellar.
I know people finishing quarantine tomorrow and another only half way through the 14 day period. Being isolated in summer where they have to remain indoors and not even talk to people on the porch who are delivering necessities must be difficult. I know how challenging it is for me to be fairly isolated -- but that is of my own choosing. If the authorities told me to isolate, I'm sure it would become more difficult -- or it might make me cranky. Imagine that! Me cranky! <grin>
The selection today contains lyrics that ran through my head today. The chorus sounds plaintive, so reminded me of the isolation we are living. Stay safe. Enjoy!
All By Myself -- Eric Carmen
