On the way to the creek, we stopped at the firehouse to vote in a run-off primary election. Lise realized she was eligible to vote, since she uses our address as her legal address in this country.
At the creek, we were teasing about the boys’ long hair, not cut since the COVID-19 shutdown. Haircuts were on the list of things to do that day.
I spotted a three-petaled flower by the stream and guessed it was a trillium. Nathaniel climbed down to take a photo of it.
Walking back home, we saw rain clouds coming over the mountain. That was not in the forecast!
We dithered about staying at the gas station or risking being drenched.
Nathaniel and David walked around a big rig to get a good photo of the storm, and Nate took the short way back. We wondered if people in the cafe were laughing at us. I’m sure the regulars all know us by sight.
Sheltering under the canopy was our choice, but Lise decided she needed the steps. David agreed to walk home with her.
Kate had not walked with us because she wanted to take a shower. Nathaniel called his mother, and she drove down immediately to pick us up. When we caught up to Lise and David, David squeezed in the car with us. Lise walked on alone and was slightly damp when she got home.

I don’t think I have ever sung in the rain. That is something to try!
Yes! I think you are right about the flower. My sister-in-law also suggested it might be spiderwort, and I Googled it. Now I know!

Trilliums are the national flower for Ontario … I remember learning about them growing up in Canada. Pretty soon David would have to wear a hairnet under his BK cap!

Both David and Nathaniel were happy to get haircuts. They look better to me, too.

I’ve seen a few male walkers at the Park who have still not gone for a haircut (either have I and am going to cut it myself for now). One guy (Arnie … who I often mention in my posts) has a big fuzzy beard. I said “did you always have a beard and I never noticed?” He said “yes, but I never trimmed it myself so far now I’m going to let it just grow wild!”

We’ve all been shorn at least once.

Your state has been luckier than ours since Day #1. I think we are taking a step back but time will tell. Nathaniel’s got a nice head of hair – it will be a shame to tuck it under a chef’s toque!
