As I begin my walks, my favorite spot is just down the street where the air is fragrant from flowers I cannot see or name. I wish my life always smelled like this. Jasmine? The neighbors have really done a beautiful job this year with their yards. I walk for miles now through the streets, but haven&#8217;t ventured to the trails. My phone messages are adorned by photos of Richard and the boys hiking. &#8220;Wish you were here&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This evening, I worked up the courage to knock on some doors to talk to friends in person. It took all day to make myself do this, as I am so out of practice being a human being. I decided to bake bread, a trusty excuse for a hand delivery, only I accidentally turned off the oven mid-baking for about 15 minutes. With the intensity of a contestant on the Great British Baking Show, I reheated the oven, covered the tops with foil, and continued to bake until they &#8220;plunked&#8221; when I hit them with my finger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some questions remain: How many people have I overlooked during my haze? I feel I owe people an apology for not being &#8220;around,&#8221; even for texting or phonecalls. And, how can I find another excuse to knock on more friends&#8217; doors? Because those socially distanced, in-person conversations on doorsteps were so good for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June is probably my favorite month in Utah.
