Mia is the only person I have done any sort of outdoor activity with since late February. While I had plenty of plans between then and now it goes without saying that COVID screwed it all up. (how many times have I written that in a blog post now….?) I finally loosened my self restriction…

COVID-19 Wk 11: Another Extension
