I love this. I really enjoyed how you maintained the nature theme, from the healing aspect of being outside with your friends to your new green friend, Stacy. Reading this brought back such fond memories of laying on the grass with some friends from work, mid-quarantine (we were already working together in close quarters, so that made hanging out justifiable). I also related to your desire to buy more plants in quarantine (I think I got at least six more, including my basil plant named Barry). I really enjoyed the way you wrote this, combining the hard parts of quarantine with hopeful elements.
