Bright Sunshine

I posted this picture on Facebook this morning and commented that our snow continued through the night with our getting between 6 and 7 inches. There is only about an inch of it left on the table after a day of bright sunshine and upper 40's temperature. There is only a scattering of snow left after our heaviest coverage of the year. 
Our coronavirus continues to grow with the global number up to 2,224,426 with 153,177 deaths. US is up to 692,169 cases with 36,721 deaths and Nebraska has had 1,195 cases with 25 deaths. The talk continues about loosening the restrictions in states and areas with lighter numbers. I watched a PBS program this afternoon on the Polio epidemic back in the 1950's. The efforts of Dr's Salk and Sabin were certainly heroes in their successful vaccine research. Our 4 children were born in the early 50's so we watched that development very closely. My Mother also had a younger brother and sister that had "infantile paralysis" as youngsters which handicapped their walking.
