Nice Day Yesterday

Yesterday the temp got into the high 70s and it was nice and sunny.

Everyone and their neighbor was out and about.

Our weed-smoking neighbor decided top throw a party and as you might guess social distancing practices were more like "What social distancing?". Also, I have now learned, from observation only, that weed can be smoked through a hookah. A lot of weed in this case, and the stinky smell doth travel quite a fargin' distance. Yuck.

On the plus side, it appears none of the neighborhood busy-bodies ratted their party out.

So, we walked the neighborhood and then drove to Northville downtown to walk around for a change of pace.

What should have been a bustling downtown was still in shut-down ghost town mode.

Even the shuttered stores had masked mannequins in the windows.

The downtown was pretty dead, with only a bicycle rental shop open doing a brisk business and just a couple restaurants doing carry out only.

Still, quite a few people around walking and soaking in the sunshine, especially in the parks, some masked, most not.

We decided to patronize Rebecca's Family Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlor and put our masks on and entered and place our orders, there was a fifteen minute wait so we headed to the park and got a picnic table and then went back to pickup the order, which was perfect, and gave a larger than normal tip to help out.

Tash and Abs shared a Reuben, I had a 1/2 lb burger, and Leah had a turkey burger - all were absolutely excellent, as were the fries. If you're near Northville, it's worth checking out.

Of course today, the temperature has dropped about 30 degrees form yesterday and is grey, solid overcast, and cold - perfect Monday weather.
