Thankful for the Woman I Met in the Woods

The first place I visited after the pandemic was over (joke) was the suburbs of Philadelphia. I flew into PHL after Mother’s Day and left in mid-June. I had not been to the East Coast in the spring for decades and thought it would be a perfect place to see everything dormant returning to life.
