​SIGNS OF KINDNESS AND OTHER THINGS

     Five months into the COVID-19 epidemic, and other than a weekly errand or two to the supermarket to keep the larder stocked, my only outing these days continues to be my daily run/walk around the block.
        Every day, often twice a day (three times a day is not unheard of), I run and/or walk through the neighborhood. I usually go at around 9:30 am, though sometimes I go at 6:45 am and other times at 8:30 pm because I like seeing the changes in the light from sunrise to mid-morning to sunset. When one is travelling the same route
day after day one starts noticing and appreciating things like variations of light and color in the landscape.

​     And one starts noticing and having more of an appreciation of other things, too, such as the decorative flora that one's neighbors have so considerately planted in their yards for the visual enjoyment of the passers-by,

..and the equally enjoyable yard art.

          I've especially become an afficionado of yard flamingos in all their variety and ubiquity.

      And then there are the signs that have been popping up in yards in support of the Presidential candidates, one always inducing a flutter of optimism the other a shudder of gloom.

      But lately there have been other kinds of signs appearing in the yards of my neighbors. One day I saw this one on a front lawn,
Picture
...then another day on another lawn this one appeared,
Picture
...then sometime later on yet a different lawn I noticed this one.
Picture
   Day by day, yard by yard, I'm seeing these signs multiplying throughout my neighborhood.

      And I wonder if my neighbors have any idea of how much, every time I pass by, their signs fill my heart with hope.
