A year ago today we were grocery shopping and stocking up on supplies, something we’d done off and on all week long. I remember remarking at the amount of people who were buying bottled water and lots of toilet paper and paper towels.The week before, we had dinner at a restaurant with Doug and Rick and then, a few days later, Don and I went out to breakfast where I remember talking to a lady at the next table. She was a scientist and spoke at length to us about Wuhan, the virus, what her scientist friends were thinking about all of it, etc. I remember wondering why she chose us to speak to. I guess worry and a need to share it with someone. We were all crammed together at tables, still no masks, and the whole thing felt odd. Much of what she predicted has come true. I’d forgotten all about that until we looked at Don’s 2020 planner this morning. That was our last meal at a restaurant, something we didn’t do all that often to begin with.
Gorgeous day yesterday. Another one is on the docket for today. The last remnants of snow up in the back forty have finally melted. But this is the Northeast and I don’t kid myself about the changes in spring weather. I’ve seen it snow during the first week of May. So far, except for one day in the thirties next week, it looks as if temps will be in the forties and fifties.
Puzzle status.
This one has been very difficult. I worked on it for a large chunk of time yesterday and finally made some significant progress. I figure I have about two more puzzles in me before spring takes over and I’m outside more often.
Hopefully. I love doing the puzzles, but I love my gardens even more.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
