Thu 2 Apr 2020 7:38pm I looked out the back window this morning and noticed this Iris blooming .
Tue 31 Mar 2020 4:24pm Even though we haven't been out of the house in two weeks, I'm keeping the cars charged just in case. I'd actually love to go on a long drive somewhere .
Mon 30 Mar 2020 2:36pm Susan and I got outside and caught up on yard work Sunday. She pulled a lot of weeds and I mowed. Glad we switched to an electric mower. No trip to the gas station needed, I can charge up in the garage. Here's another pic of the Photinias blooming like crazy .
Sun 29 Mar 2020 8:27pm Sophie the cat having a Sunday afternoon nap in a basket .
Sun 29 Mar 2020 3:31am Quarantine cuisine for today is a Dutch Baby (aka a German Pancake) along with cinnamon apple blueberry compote. Susan found the recipe in the NY Times cooking section .
Thu 26 Mar 2020 6:59pm One upside to the ongoing apocalypse is that we've been making more of our own meals. And it has given us an opportunity to try out some of the home delivery options for groceries. We've ordered from Amazon, Amazon Fresh, and Whole Foods. I also tried a Sam's order via Instacart. What's everyone else doing for groceries? Braving the stores in person? Ordering online? .
Wed 25 Mar 2020 7:07pm I took a break from sheltering in place and working at home to go out in the backyard and stand in the sunlight for a while. No other humans in sight. Our Photinias are blooming and lots of bees are buzzing around them. .
Sun 22 Mar 2020 5:48pm Are we: A) going to Whole Foods to pick up a few groceries B) planning to rob a stagecoach at high noon .
Sat 21 Mar 2020 6:16pm Yay! Amazon came through for me with a shiny new track ball. There are so many monitors and keyboards on my desk due to the work from home thing, that there's not enough space to drive a mouse around without bumping into things. This will make life a bit easier .
