My garden doesn’t reflect the pandemic, but I reflected on it plenty. I was a public health nurse, and so I understood the science. I marveled at how quickly that vaccine was developed. We were as safe as we possibly could be. We Americans have been extraordinarily lucky; I just couldn't feel sorry for myself no matter how hard I tried. Actually, I didn't even try to feel sorry for myself.
