Your house looks tidy to me
And now is a great time to learn something that will bring you joy ..
.... .. . and something to wear

That is a nice looking machine. Mine is a Singer from around 1938
It works, not fancy, but it works!

I try to keep it tidy, it's just tired and needs some love (not a priority of the landlord), but you can't beat the view!

I think it's great that you have and use a 1938 Singer. Mine is a low cost Brother that seems to be working for me and I'm sure it will take me a while to out grow.
My first projects are grocery bags/tote bags (pictures above) and I'm working on a collection of my sons old t shirts to create a t shirt quilt.

Yesterday was the first time in awhile that I felt like taking the camera out. I came
across these to folks socially isolating themselves.

Many people are chronically isolated.

Thank you, joayne. So many people live outdoors within walking distance here that I've accumulated several "homelessness shots." I try to balance recording the drama of it with being respectful.

Sheltering in place–I take a walk almost every day it doesn't rain because that's all I can do to get stimulation that contrasts with staying home alone. Husband is now in skilled nursing. I can't visit him.

Well now with Isolation almost a law here in Hawaii, I still grabbed this photo of this fella by him/her self
It looked like he/she was ready to say, don't get closer then 6 feet!!

I especially like the second photo, OhLook. Very powerful without being exploitative. Well done!

Steve -- Looks like you all are still waiting on spring to arrive.

The trail this past week at the state park. It was a beautiful day, though.

No live classes for 2 months for me, so I had to figure out a video rig for online classes while living in social isolation/distancing at home for 2 weeks.
My rig is extremely primitive and made of whatever I could find in the house, garage and my studio but works like a dream.
Piece of wood supported by a wet oil paint carrier and tripod. LED light strip taped on, camera held by bungee cords and leveled out with chopsticks for shimming. Pardon the mess on my huge studio desk

This is really awesome. Are you teaching classes?

Yes Don, as of right now it is snowing hard here, just a hint of spring. Thirty days from now we will need to be planting crops, moving cattle to pasture and hopefully have cold weather and snow behind us. It is always a hectic time of year, this spring is going to be especially challenging.
Stay well everyone.

Isolation...
