We and our relatives from Maine to Pennsylvania photo-blitzed each other with pictures of spring flowers and buds on Easter 2020, finding comfort in the fact that nature was bursting forth, just like always, even if we were unable to be with loved ones in person. At that point, we knew so little about the pandemic, what the world faced in the weeks and months ahead, and what if anything could be done to stop the virus. This is one of those photos, of an early rhododendron in our backyard.
