Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2006. Mattie was four years old and part of our family holiday tradition was to go to the US Botanical Gardens. They always had amazing festive flower displays and sculpted models of DC buildings out of plant materials. Mattie and I posed in front of the US Capitol! Peter and I haven't been back to the Gardens at Christmas time since Mattie died.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 23,707,002
- Number of people who died from the virus: 395,195
Not only did I go through a metal detector at the airport, but I went through the 360 scan as well as a pat down! Then TSA also screened passengers a second time right before boarding the plane to DC. So I could feel the heightened security even before returning home.
Beautiful from the air! I had the blessing of having NO ONE next to me. Which was nice because I really need 4.5 hours to unwind, rest, read, and be on my own time schedule.
Classic DC! Grey and overcast. We get MORE grey days than anything else.
Our home is surrounded by the National Guard, who each are carrying automatic weapons. Am I in the USA?
Fencing everywhere!
Surrounded by military trucks and National Guard.
Outside our bedroom window. Peter says its impossible to sleep at night with lights and noise!
A greeting from Miss Indie!
An anxious pooch! Wants to know what on earth happened to me!???
