Friendliness found even 
during the quarantine.

Even if you are “quarantined”… you don’t have to lose contact with folks and feel estranged on this planet.

Cannon Falls kids are seeing friendly looking homes as they walk along the sidewalks for exercise.

This is because homeowners have been putting drawings and  pictures in their windows.  And so, even though they are quarantined and can’t come outside to meet you, they can see the happy expressions on passers-by.

A lot of these are children who are delighted that although they can’t “play” with you… they can still feel the friendliness and companionship that is around them.

“Going on a Bear Hunt!"

  There are kids like Aubrianna and Sophia Farnum out on Gerlach Way near Lake Byllesby.  Their mother Brittney explained, “We live off the lake right down from the beach and park so we get a lot of people walking by! 

But of course you can’t go outside to mingle with them.

Brittney continued, “I first saw an article from Rochester MN of the bears and thought it would  be a fun, cheerful idea for the people who walk by!”

So pictures of bears are posted in windows for the kids to “hunt”.

Look for the rocks!

Then there’s Katie Lundell, who with her husband Derek and 4 year old son, Oliver, have been decorating rocks to place around the community.  

They put them out and want you to enjoy them.  If you can, let them know and they would love to see pictures of where you found them.

Age doesn’t matter!

It seemed lonely walking  in my woods until I saw the " Pine Cone Peeps”!  As you walk along the trails you just might see little pine cones peeking out of old dead trees. (Added beads help their expressions.)  So take a picture of them and at the end of the trail you might find some that you can make too.  

Other ideas are welcomed… 
we’re all quarantined for a while yet!

 We’re on this planet together!
