A Virginia woman has been keeping things light and fun during quarantine by dressing up as different characters every day and posing on her porch.
Erin Kemble, 46, from Clifton, started the tradition on March 30 and has kept it up every day since, putting together costumes to look like everyone from E.T. to to Baby Shark to Bob Ross.
‘I’m not on the front lines,’ she told Good Morning America. ‘But if I can be a fool and make people laugh that’s great.’
