First of all, the email versions of my posts have not been going out at the normal time. They’re scheduled to be sent during 11 am – 1 pm EST. But for the past couple of days they’ve gone out after 1 pm. Yesterday, I noticed some of them went out at 4 pm and others at 6 pm! What the???? Anyway, there’s nothing I can do about it. I use Feedburner, which is free. I’m not about to pay for yet another item in regards to this blog. So…I will advise what I always advise: come to the blog directly. Bookmark it in your browser. I always post before 11 am. Always. And if you come here directly, you’re helping to support this blog. It costs money to keep this blog going, money I have to put out every year. This pandemic and the lockdown will also have a negative impact on my ad income, so I’m told, and coming to the blog directly will help me through this time.
Thanks.
Yesterday, in the pouring rain, we went to our local nursery/farm stand.
Masked and ready to go. (Meredith made these masks.)
Despite the rain, there were several people wandering the aisles in the nursery, but everyone had masks on and all of us were good social distancers. Amazingly, everything on my list was there, including impatiens. There are a few other items I want to get eventually, but for now, I’m thrilled. What a difference a week between visits makes.
Don got lots of produce, I got the plants, we met back at the car, used our hand sanitizer, and drove back home. We did the usual washing of hands, produce, sanitizing of packaged goods, washing of hands again and again, etc., etc. etc. All of the plants were brought to the porch, once all signs of impending thunderstorms had passed.
Exhausting, but that is a given.
I’m so looking forward to potting all of my plants but first we have to pick up the other groceries we ordered and go through the sanitizing ritual yet again. Then – I really hope – we’re through with it for a while.
It’s a sunny day today. The temperature is going to reach 70 degrees! After this past week of rain and more rain, we are very grateful.
I started on the new puzzle but I haven’t done much on it yet. Updates to come.
Have a lovely day today and stay safe.
Happy Saturday.
