Turning, footing and drawing turf on the bog has been one of the main features of the Covid-19 experience.
Lots of people have been out and about on the bog.
We want you to send us your pictures from that day on the bog - midges and all.
It could be a shot of the beautiful wonderful landscape on the bog or some photos of people at work.
The picture needn't be people working with turf, it can be images from the bog roads where people ran and walked to keep fit.
Send your photos to this email address: editor@leitrimobserver.ie.
Include names, where you're from, where the picture was taken and other details you'd like us to mention.
Write COSTA DEL SOD in the subject line of your mail.
We'll publish the pictures here on the Leitrim Observer website and in print in the Leitrim Observer.
Get snapping but respect the Covid-19 social distancing guidelines.
The pictures below are:
