And people are making rainbows to symbolize hope and that we will flatten the curve. People are hanging signs of rainbows all over the world. The happy craze has spread from one city/country to the next.

  1. I absolutely love this! Have you been to Popham Beach and have you seen the art someone created out of trash that they found along the beach? It’s wonderful and sad all at the same time. But, at least they picked it up and did something creative with it. I love that you’re creating art out of trash!
