Here’s another reminder that Life goes on during the pandemic.
Martin Luther said that one of his weapons for keeping the Devil away was to cut a fart. We can do something akin if, in the midst of the threat of COVID-19, we habitually open our eyes to the beauty and holiness all around.
A foggy morning is a good test case. This morning we woke to a thick fog on the farm. But a fog can reveal the haunting beauty of form, as it does when you look at the trees silhouetted against an uncluttered wall of mist.

One of the special treats of having sheepdogs is that they are always up—way up—for a run around the hay field.
So, picture one is of the trees along our drive; and picture two is of Nell, who at age 13 is still fit enough to jump on the back of the ATV waiting the run. (I tried Zac first, but he is way too excitable, and every time I backed away from him to get a shot, he jumped down and up on me. He is definitely not the type to settle down.)
