As coronavirus cases and deaths keep multiplying exponentially, and hospitals and morgues are overrun beyond capacity, naturally TN is one of the remaining states to refuse to issue a mandate or curfews.  It’s even riskier to just go shopping for essentials.

But shop we must.  Inexplicably, there’s another TP shortage, despite the fact that average Tennesseans don’t seem to take this crisis seriously.  Maybe they decorate their xmas trees with toilet paper?  Anyway, we won’t be going anywhere or seeing any loved ones for a long time.

Fortunately, I have plenty of garden projects to keep me off the streets.  It’s getting chilly, but still perfect for working.  My future “forest” is coming along.  I keep trying to look up and forward.
