The weather was beautiful today: sunny and about 30 degrees warmer than last week. And there were plenty of people out and about when I walked Lucy this afternoon, but they didn't seem like quite the same set of folks I've nodded to since September. Some seemed older, fewer had dogs, not a lot were on their phones, and many were workers on the job.
It occurred to me then that the neighborhood might get a little lonelier soon. Many residents are federal workers who, in the coming months, will have to start reporting to work in person five days a week.
I can't even imagine how it will be, but I bet the dog walkers in the area are happy.
