Our Farmers' Market opened this morning. These folks have been open down south all along because they were exempt from closing when the governor's decree came. They have it down! The pink signs say, "Please, do not touch. We will help you." Most things are bagged and those that aren't like cucumbers, they will find the one you want and hand it to you. They had chalked arrows on the parking lot showing where to stand in line. Because most of us were locals, we all had our masks and we were fine with their telling us to wear them if didn't have them on.
Another young man had taken all his produce and put one package of each thing on a little display table so we could tell him what we wanted and he would reach behind him and hand us a package. All the sellers had on gloves as well as masks.
Of course today was rather slow being their first day in Tahoe for the season. When it gets busier and the tourists arrive for the summer, it may take a while to get through the lines. All we can hope for is patience and adherence to the rules.
We went from there to the grocery store for senior shopping where about half of the customers had on masks. Everyone kept a good distance though so that at least was helpful. It is hard to know what is right and good. I tend to act on the side of caution. I'm glad to be home for a week.
