I hope that things will go back to ‘normal’ in the years to come.

John and I are eating lots of ‘greens’… you know, swiss chard, mustard greens and the like. I make a cream of green soup we both enjoy and I personally like to eat them raw. They taste so good and fresh! I even have enough to send to our neighbors across the street.
