Today Trump stopped claiming the virus was a hoax, and recommended that people avoid gatherings of more than 10 people. More states closed schools, bars, restaurants.

No Corona-School day
Today was technically supposed to be a day off of regular school, so we didn't start our official school stuff, but just had a fun day.

Mr. Rogers is often quoted during hard times, because he was an amazing example of loving kindness. And so, like Mr. Rogers advises, I am looking for the helpers. And there are a lot. One of the awesome things coming from this global crisis is the people and businesses offering free products online. There is a Cincinnati art studio, McHarper Manor, that is offering free daily art tutorials on Facebook Live. It is so fun!

We have decided to take a break from our kiddo's mental health therapy, and this was definitely a good therapy time for all of us. We're a pretty art/music/reading-centric family. So any excuse to do more art together is welcomed!

Here's today's animal watercolors:



Today had good weather, fun art, and snugly TV watching. It was a good day.
