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.
