What Day is It?

I have to ask myself what day it is almost every day anymore.

My mind was in a hundred places yesterday, so no photos to share.  First, it was the day that we lost our older nephew 2 years ago, and a very hard day emotionally for my husband.

He mowed until the blade on the mower broke.  I basically did minor house chores and froze more spinach.

It was cooler and very windy, so no other outside work done.

I have a sister who said, according to the Bible that the virus will end Easter Sunday.  There is a lot of talk on this.  I know one person who would have answers to this claim, and that is Dad.  I cannot even call Dad. He has bad hearing and will not answer his phone.  Oh, my oldest sister is taking care of Dad right now, during this virus stuff going on.

I call my mother daily to check on her.  I often talk to my siblings via call or email.  One sister in MI has been sick, but her doctor said it was pneumonia.  

We are doing okay here.  We are just anxious for this to be over and are uncertain of our future, so the garden is focused on right now.  We are tackling our to-do list, but it depends on the weather as to which one we do.  We have not picked up fencing materials for the dog fence, nor the new chicken coop (although those stores are open we choose to not go out).

I received free organic lettuce seeds, and one daughter brought me a bag of organic soil.  I plan to plant some today (although late) and see if I can add that to the garden next month.

Just the Bits

We had a very nice day yesterday.  The temperature went up to 70°F.  We were swamped with a wet ground, but we cleaned up the front porch. My husband even got some mowing done too, and we grilled out for dinner (although our propane is now out for the grill).

I baked flourless brownies and made whiskey butterscotch sauce for a rare treat.

I also froze a bit more zucchini.

I dehydrated a small amount of mushrooms too.

Laundry went out on the line.

I am finishing up on cross bookmarks.  I am putting the tassles on next.
