I deleted one item from our wish list - buy a pressure canner. I tried to order it directly from All-American, but it was "out of stock." It didn't surprise me. I found the same one on Amazon and put in my order.
Hubby wants to build my "garden shed" now with old barn wood. Not sure if it will happen, but it would allow me to have all the tools right by the garden. Crossing my fingers on this one.
Peas have been planted. Sugar snap and shell peas. I am now looking for empty pie tins to hang on my fencing to keep the birds away. I need to dig through old clothes and try and fix up my scare crow now. We are however anticipating a cold week May 4-10th with possible lows in the 30's. This is not normal May weather.
I've been keeping my eye on the nettles. The recent rain should be helping them out, so hopefully soon I'll be harvesting more.
I started a thyme tincture. First time doing this, but having any preventative medicinals on hand is better than not.
Our daughter who is a senior in High School, is depressed. One briefing the Governor said graduations can be done, but with safety measures, and the next day he says they cannot. We decided to take her on a field trip. We went and got take out in a small town, and then let her shop inside a small candy store (that also sells food items), and I'll admit it was nice getting out of the house.
Our landfill is opening soon, so now we can resume the garage cleaning and get rid of stuff.
There is news going around that our Governor, while we slept, extended our stay at home order for another month (although I heard him let it out of the bag in another briefing), so I don't know what to believe until he speaks today at 2pm.
Almost all High schools have finalized graduation plans. No word from our daughter's school yet.
I noticed a few gardens with tomatoes planted, while on our drive yesterday. Big mistake with the cold weather coming again.
I hope you are all staying healthy.

I haven't been out anywhere except for Sunday rides on Bro Tom's days off for weeks, and that's ok, cause I'm in a high risk group, so I'll obey the CDC, the doctors and the scientists, and I pray everyone else will too.
An interesting study in that is the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic when people had a parade in the middle of things, and started a second round of it which killed more people than the first round did. My Grandmother lost a child in that epidemic, and she never forgot him. I don't know what his real name was. They always referred to him as Fuzzy because when he was born, he had light colored fuzzy hair that no amount of combing or brushing could tame. We always visited his little grave when I went with her to the cemetery.
That epidemic and the tuberculosis epidemic were before my time, but I think they must have been awful. And if they had the strength to get through them, I believe we do too.
Praying we all have a great weekend, and a safe one. Praying the Lord lifts this scourge from all our lands so it will be safe for us to go out again. I pray these things in Christ Jesus name. AMEN!!!
God bless.
