Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2005. Mattie was three years old. That day I took him to the mall to get a picture with the Easter Bunny. This was the only photo we ever took with the Bunny. In fact the only copy I have of this photo is the original one from the mall. So naturally I took a photo of the photo so that I could have an electronic copy. I absolutely love Mattie's smile here! Mattie had a healthy fear of these large story book characters, but there was something about this bunny that made him seem okay and approachable.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
After meeting Sunny's needs today, we decided to take a long walk. We walked 5.6 miles. We walked over the Key Bridge into Virginia. Walked around Roosevelt Island and then walked over Roosevelt Bridge to get back into the District of Columbia. So we walked in two states. The walking does help manage stress, anxiety, and lots of frustration with being in this virus lock down.
Roosevelt Island never disappoints. While on the Island we saw several deer.
Even a Great Blue Heron. It is wonderful to see greenery, birds, deer, and signs of spring. All things unaffected by the virus. Reminding us that there is hope and life won't always be like this.
While crossing over the Roosevelt Bridge, we were looking at the Potomac River dotted with birds! I am talking hundreds of Cormorants all over the water. A sight we have seen in Florida, but never in DC.
