Recuperation journey: A trip to Milford

A view of L.I. Sound and Charles Island on a sunny afternoon.

The folks in the boat are definitely practicing social distancing. 

Artfish 42 is a cool art gallery at 42 Naugatuck Ave., at Walnut Beach in Milford. 
I highly recommend you check it out when the quarantine is finally over!

Tomorrow is Ralph's birthday but since we can't go anywhere to celebrate we took a "ride" around the region today, socially distancing of course. 
It's supposed to rain around here tomorrow so we took advantage of some sunshine. He said he enjoyed his present.
