This is how the day started; they all wore green and didn't even realize that it was St. Patrick's Day.

| Gill & Jonas: LEGOS! |
Ed's company has told everyone to work from home. but I'm still going to campus. I worked this morning, but received messages to start planning for work from home. I took all of my plants home, leaving by 1pm. Today is the first day of decent weather (50 degrees, overcast, but no rain) so we are taking the kids for a hike. Ana and Gonzalo come today and we need to get out of the house to give them space to work. I told them we would still pay them, but they did not have to come. Honestly, my boys need to learn how to clean toilets, so if there's a silver lining to this social distancing, let that be one of them!

We stopped by McClains bakery to order from the sidewalk through a window (not meant to be an order spot, but they are making it work!) and we ate as we traveled to Line Creek Park in NKC. What a lovely 2 mile hike we had! We saw waterfalls, other people, and lots of nature. It's still pre-spring ugly here in Missouri - all brown and bare. If you look hard enough, you can see small signs of spring...the insects are return, there are a few green weeds and blades of grass.
