    These are marvelous moments -- the birds in the garden are always a welcome chorus. Also, the video was wonderful! I found myself tearing up.

    That a clever way of sharing your haiku collection, I enjoyed the video. I also suspect the mask will be a "character" in many stories, long after the pandemic is over. :)

    Lockdown is being relaxed here, and I'm worried. I hope all goes well, but... I have reservations. I continue to wear my mask (and show my smile just in Zoom).

    We've been having a mixture of rain and heat. My garden is loving it.

    Gillena, I enjoyed your sijo very much. Also what a neat idea to put your mask haiku collages into video slideshow form. Great idea! I remember many of them. Looking forward to part 2.

    I liked you Sijo, Gillena. Not many good things were happening during 'lockdown'. Our governor dissolved ours, even for the school kids under 12 who cannot get vaccinated.
    We wrote on for NaPoWriPo Day 20 (April 20) and it was fun. Mine was short also, six lines although they can be quite long.

    Grand post, Gillena!
