The Sheboygan County Wisconsin site has current and important information about Coronavirus (COVID-19). We follow the data at the Sheboygan County Coronavirus Case Dashboard.
So often I think of my parents and the history they lived through. We are all living through COVID-19 history. We wear our face masks, practice social distance, wash our hands often, etc. We take care of one another and ourselves. Our common story, one day at a time.
Future posts will feature the libraries in our area. I am always so grateful for libraries.
Thank YOU for your posts from many places. You add so much to my days.
I am creating a lot at home, since I am here most of the time. I can see this in my haiku. Recent posts are examples. I am calling these “Study Poems.”
Thank you and take good care.

Today Karl and I walked around the Ancient Shores Trail at Friends Fishing Pond, which is part of Kohler-Andrae State Park.
You can see more photos of the pond and area in our post from August 21, 2018, Friends Fishing Pond and Flowers in Sheboygan. This was a new discovery for us then, and our walk around the trail was new today.
