In the morning drive to Stein’s Garden Center on 27th Street. Buy a bag of dirt and plants and flowers. Drive home. While bringing up the flowers the Fed Ex driver arrives with the new planters that I purchased. Set them up on the deck. Toss dirt into them. Leave the plants inside for now. Walk along the lakefront up to Lake Park. Turn around and walk home. I can feel a cold coming over me. Barely sleep all night as the virus takes over my body.
