To be safe we are having a few people over but outside. We make a fire on the patio and light candles and eat and drink and talk outside. A woman came over last Saturday and we thought she would have hot punch and talk for an hour and then leave. She was starved for social contact so she stayed over 2 hours. I let the fire get smaller and smaller to see if she would leave but she just huddled closer to the flames. Finally, Katy said she had to go in or she would freeze. It was in the 30’s and of course dark being after 4:30 pm. Encouragement is still possible as we try to meet with people in a safe way. We will see how long the wood lasts that I have been collecting over the years but we are burning through quickly
