This is a flower on a Rose of Sharon bush from my front yard. When my grandmother died I brought two Rose of Sharon bushes from Ohio to Connecticut. Those original two have seeded many additional plants. This is one of those plants. Most of the flowers are white with a deep purple center, some of the flowers are all white. This is the first pink flower I've ever seen on any of my Rose of Sharon bushes. It makes me happy!😎
Flowers, and nature in general, are daily reminders of life going on. The world will continue, and the pandemic will pass. I look forward to a better future. ❤

I had my second dose 2 weeks ago and today was the first day I was officially at peak immunity. I went to Target to buy a diaper pail. It felt like a vacation. It was also very awkward. I hadn’t been to a store in a year and a half. There were arrows everywhere and rules regarding which direction to go. It felt foreign and strange but also exciting in an odd way. There were so many items to choose from, everything looked enticing. However, I went to the aisle where I found my diaper pail, checked out, and headed home quickly. I look forward to more outings like these. I still don’t feel safe taking my baby out on errands with me, which makes me sad. But at least now I can have a few more outings here and there on my own.
