What’s Up in the Neighborhood, March 28, 2020

The tough part of trying to remain positive in this time of COVID-19 is to keep smiling when everything else is falling down.  So hopefully with today’s roundup of blog posts and photos from the great people on my blogroll today, we can keep our spirits up together.

Personally, I’m still self-insulating in an effort to help flatten the curve.  So this roundup will also help me see what my fellow bloggers and photographers are up to in this time of crisis.
