Christmas trees in March?

Welcome to the new normal, as folks do their best to stay upbeat in a world turned upside down by the coronavirus.

Lee Goldberg of Morris Township found people enjoying some sunshine around Giralda Farms on Saturday, and teeing off at the Morris County Golf Club.  Golf may be one of the last sports standing–if your foursome keeps its distance.

While sporting fields and playgrounds are closed, trails are open to walking or biking by individuals or groups of four or fewer individuals, who maintain six feet of distance from each other, according to Township officials.

Here is guidance from the Morris County Park Commission .

And here is a statement from the Morristown National Historical Park.
