Umpteen weeks of sheltering in place later, I’m unsure what day it is. All things seem canceled until further notice. I miss hugging my friends, I miss restaurant dining, I miss not rationing toilet paper.

Yet humor and hope sprout between the sidewalk cracks. Here are ten pictures representing some of the bizarre, productive, delicious, and funny moments I’ve encountered in the alternate reality of Spring 2020.

Spring is not canceled. Love is not canceled. Hope is not canceled. Stay strong, my friends.
