Today is a beautiful day outside.

from my studio window.

When I was pouring my tangerine juice and looking out

 of my kitchen window this morning, I saw one of my 

new neighbors working-out in their garage. 

One man, two women, they were dressed for the gym, 

working out with weights, lunges, in earnest. 

Then from next door, a young boy took off on his 

bike wearing a shiny black helmet and black mask. 

Yesterday another neighbor, a young girl about ten, 

who recently got a new pink bike. I watched on the first day 

as her Dad rode his bike with her as she got her bearings.

She set up a lawn chair with a pink umbrella in her

driveway, as she sat and read, enjoying the sun. 

Next time, I will try to get a picture.

Did you ever see the movie, Rear Window?

I checked on Demura Sensei today, he is well 

but says he is bored staying in and watching tv.

I sent him this to cheer him up ...

He sent back, "That picture of you!" 

Thank you Sensei.

His humor is intact.

 

A feel-good story ...

Taran Tien, 9, and his sister, Calliope, 6. 

When they heard their 78-year-old neighbor Helena Schlam, 

a big classical music fan was self-isolating, they put on 

some nice clothes took their cellos to her front porch 

and gave an impromptu concert. For 30 minutes, 

they played music ranging from a Bach minuet to 

"Go Tell Aunt Rhody" for Schlam, 

who hadn't left her home in five days. 

Schlam said it was delightful.

 and another ...

Jayden made brownies and 

 is writing notes to her friends 

and delivering them to their mailboxes.

 

Just because ...
