This is a picture of the dark orange sky last Wednesday because of fires in our area. This was taken in broad daylight, the streetlights were all still on and it was dark all morning and dim all day. Worst day of the pandemic for us so far because it just felt terrifying and wrong, like nuclear winter. Looking at the outdoors and nature is such a big part of how I'm getting through this terrifying time with the pandemic, the election and the threat of more years under Trump looming. How can anyone still deny climate change is real?

Has the coronavirus pandemic changed how you see the country you live in? If so, how?
It's interesting that the country is in shambles in every possible way: economically, COVID being out of control, Biden and Harris inheriting an absolute mess in terms of managing the virus and ensuring that vaccines are sent to states constantly in order to get everyone vaccinated, and on and on and on. Yet, this morning, the day after a huge snowstorm, I saw outside my window neighbors helping neighbors, shoveling for each other, snow blowers moving straight down the sidewalk, helping numerous people. It was amazing to watch. I already knew I live in a great neighborhood, but, considering what the state of our country is right now, there is hope. It's out there, in what may seem like the smallest ways, but it is there.
