I apparently hit a nerve with some of my neighbors.  Yes, I know masks are not required outdoors and agree they are not necessary when proper social distancing is observed.  I was making a request based on my experience with several people approaching me  in my garden and ringing my doorbell.  I'm not trying to induce guilt or fear...just a little common sense and maybe some awareness too.  I've received some pretty angry responses to my post which took me by surprise.  I do apologize if you were offended by my request.  That was certainly not my intention.  I suspect we are all getting fairly stressed out under the circumstances.
