The View from the Hermitage, Day 62

Younger son came to town today, probably to get hay for his menagerie. He stopped at older son's house just long enough to drop off my Mother's Day present and a larger monitor the husband wants to try out. Both sons wore masks; older son lifted his just long enough to show off his pandemic beard. Older son will bring the monitor and gift when he comes by in the morning. I do hate that I could not see younger son in person, but he has noted that by living in a relatively large city, his chances of being exposed to the novel coronavirus are much higher than ours.

Older son heard this morning that the husband might go into his department's building to deliver his online summer school lectures in July. Older son did not like that and proceeded to show the husband how he could set up a very nice "classroom" here. I'll just have to lock myself and the family pets in the basement so that we don't interrupt anything.

The subdivision rabbit bearing gifts? Older son and I saw it this morning on walk number two with the dog. We left it as we found it, though the thought did occur to move it without opening it. Every party needs a pooper, and we're just not into the bunny party.
