Physical Distancing but still social

It was on February 24th we had one last row before the world turned upside down.  By the middle of March, Pierce County was under the Stay at Home policy.

The WOWers busied themselves. They planted gardens, sterilized the the surfaces in their homes till they sparkled. They made masks and sorted through lifetime accumulations. By April The WOWers  learned to zoom. What a wonderful solution to 'social' distancing. As time passed there was a pattern to the chaos. Behaviors mastered, we zoomed two more times.

June was different right from the start. It brought out cabin fever that spread all over the nation. Everyone was getting antsy. We missed having High Tea at Low Sea.  Then Sally noted there was going to be a -2.7 low tide on Dumas Bay. With vows to stay 4-6' apart, wear our masks, and bring our own food we broke our self imposed quarantine.

Words can hardly express the joy of being near the water. Maybe you can see why. It was 80 degrees, a slight breeze with an amazing amount of beach.



The silliness started right away. 
So did our admiration of natures beauty.





 




Nature tries hard to integrate the human created debris.
