Sandy: “I am lucky because I work in a place that’s an essential service. Our office is locked and there is a glass in the foyer. We cut a hole in the glass so people wouldn’t have to come all the way in and we stayed open. But then you come home at night and you want to sit on your stoop and talk with neighbors… I’ve spent a lot of time outside, planting flowers. I don’t even know what they are. I just go to Lowe’s and get plants and stick them in the ground. Now I have to find out what they are so I can plant them again next year.”
