Stay Sane - Make Art

Most of us have been self-isolating for weeks. My office reduced hours and furloughed personnel back in March, so it has been more than 8 weeks of this new reality.  I am working every third week. It is strange.

Last month Bustle published this article: Making art helps your mental health 

Are you working from home?  Have you been furloughed?  How do you stay focused and productive?  Please share your strategies.

May Day

Today, my dear friend, Steve, a francophile of the first order, shared that in France on May 1st, the Lily-of-the-Valley is shared between friends as a token a good luck for the year.  I will celebrate with you by sharing this image because it is still too cold here for my Lily-of-the-Valley to be blooming.

Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis) is a woodland flowering plant also known as the May lily. In addition to luck, it often symbolizes purity and happiness.  As beautiful as it is, please do not eat it. It is highly poisonous!
