Great story, I remember those ovid days where no one was stirring, not even a mouse. I would have to get outside too, to mow the yard if nothing else. It must have been a treat, to have had a quick conversation with a kind stranger walking by. As for the squirrel, as I said in my last response, in a previous article. I more than ever, believe this is your spirit animal.

My spirit animal was a hawk that saved my life... I don't think your Spirit Animal and mine would play well together, lol

Thanks for the reminder of Covid days, it make me appreciate, just how far we are past those days.
