I am not a Van Gogh type of person: I cannot be creative when I am depressed. But I have tried to do two things consistently throughout the pandemic: walk and read. These are the books I am currently reading. I also read the news everyday but I am trying to break that habit. I find myself in tears often - for instance, the continued assault on black people by racist police; reading that 10 people were shot in a supermarket; the attack on Asian Americans.

4/22/21 Last week's art project in Mrs. G.'s kindergarten class. I love the projects she has the kids do. Yesterday they made dandelion playdough. Each child had to pick 20 dandelions, then they put them all in a big bucket with hot water and added vegetable oil, flour, and salt. Three friends mixed it with their hands, then other friends came with scoops to distribute it. Some even came home -- in a gross little ziploc we found in our little friend's backpack, totally unidentifiable. We'd clearly missed the memo (on the Seesaw online school program).
