Morning walk around Wellesley: from Wellesley Hills to Linden Square to Wellesley Square

by

With social distancing guidelines in full force, morning is best time to walk if you want to avoid people. On a beautiful spring day I started out in Wellesley Hills and finished up at Wellesley Square. It was early, so there was plenty of room to roam without encroaching on others. Here are a few pics:

A big hello to my friends at Waterstone, a place so many pillars of the Wellesley community call home. Right now residents of the 82-apartment independent living and assisted-living complex are not receiving visitors due to coronavirus concerns.

Wellesley Historical Society
The Tollhouse Shop at the Wellesley Historical Society is closed for now, all its treasures collecting dust just when they were so close to a second lease on life.
Wellesley Service League

Coronavirus or no coronavirus, the honeybees behind Roche Bros. in Linden Square have work to do.

 

It's For Now, Wellesley Square
This is all just For Now in Wellesley.

The Wellesley Square pop-up store For Now closed its doors after the holidays, but they left us their window sign. Let it serve as a symbol of hope that coronavirus and its dangers are with us just for now. Better days are coming, Wellesley.
