It’s amazing how much there is to do around here…I had to take a blog day off yesterday, and I don’t have a lot to report today…though a few more window photos have come in: Salem: Portland: Texas D.C. Long Island I suspect you’ve all been zooming…we had two social “outings” this week that involved […]
Well here’s the real truth…I’m just not that motivated. I get up early enough, but I move pretty slowly…”open the house” (open shutters, turn off porch light, etc.) check the bleach bucket (1/3 c. bleach in a gallon of water to disinfect the incoming items) BREAKFAST and the Bee… Thinking about Vivien and Sidney… reading […]
Do we have any real idea what our world will be as we slog through this corona-spring? What our world will be when this is over? Nope. It’s unfolding all right, but we can’t make out the outline of our collective future…at least it isn’t visible from here in the far west. So what do […]
No “topic” today…a walk around the house before heading into the neighborhood, wherein I am grateful I didn’t cut down the Euphorbias in the fall… The Henk begonias are blooming… I made barley flour muffins from a package I found in the freezer with some slightly-freezer-burned-frozen blueberries, and they’re good! (I didn’t have buttermilk […]
Nope. It isn’t. And we’re only a couple of weeks in. Our county has the second highest infection rate in the state. It’s raining. I woke up early and read all the predictions for our future….eek. Our son messaged us that really he and his family would not be able to leave the Virgin Islands […]
Greetings friends. Have you been having nice conversations and emails and texts with loved ones? We have because…well…everybody is home and thinking about everybody else. (Here R’s cousin in Boston…) This morning I got wondering what the world looked like for some of my cohort (as we now say)…my own family and friends. I sent […]
Nancy sent me this lovely hand-made birthday card that is an image for our times (thank you Nancy!)… But to back track…we went to the beach Saturday for my birthday, and to clean out the pantry and retrieve some toilet paper (who is it that HAS all the toilet paper I wonder?). In spite of […]
“Duck Soup” means an easily accomplished task…pretty far from our world of the moment. But, 14 baby ducklings hatched over at the Mill Thursday… Scanning our favorite news sources came up with these images…the old reality (from the NYTimes) …and the new reality…(from the Washington Post the pictures of the 1918 flu look very like […]
We are literally “all in the same boat.” (and here’s a boat my Dad made for “the boys”) (and two boats from Mr. May…still missed here on “the Island”) How many times over my long life have I heard the phrase “we’re all in the same boat”…but “all” really meant all people of a certain […]
These days are odd aren’t they? It’s so serious. It’s scary. Will we get sick? Will you? Yet in these days, these ahead-of-the-wave days, we’re treading water. Will our toilet paper run out? Will our money run out? Hard to know anything at all. This girl showed up in a message…and delighted us… Zoom exercise […]
