Wondering how to define “shelter in place” literally?

If someone had told me a year ago that in March of 2020 we would be keeping ourselves safe from a huge calamity by either staying at home with our families to cuddle, watch movies, bake, converse, play games, sew, paint, create, and invent, or go out and hike, kayak, picnic, stand-up paddleboard, hammock, stroll, or lie in meadows in the beaming sun and blue sky, I would’ve thought you were a little loopy. What kind of natural disaster would that imply??
Orcas Island is quite the setting in which to quarantine!
Hawaiians have got it pretty darn good too. I’m loving this 59-minute film called Shorebreak on Amazon about a surf photographer’s daily life. I’d love doing this.
I’d love to show a window into your quarantining here too, if you’d like. Feel free to send me a photo of what sheltering in place looks like for you. I’m having a ball imagining glimpses of what it’s like in your world. Photos of kids going out of their minds are welcome as well.
If you’re seeing the Facebook questions I’ve posted, I will never use your responses or photos there here on this blog without first asking your permission. Though I’m more than tempted to post videos of my kids right now – one ad-libbing songs to crazy electric beats on his synthesizer while the younger one dances them up.
