April 2020... Please tell us how your day is Going... April Showers bring May Flowers...

Yesterday,I took only 1 walk because it became windy in the afternoon
When I went on my early walk this morning,there was an inch of snow on the grass,a tad nippy 26 It was refreshing with no wind.
I plan to take a mid morn walk to 7/11,convient store need some orange juice,2 blocks from my apt building The sun will be out
I hate being inside all day
 
This morning was my big adventure to take out the trash, pick up the mail and visit the local Walmart!

The only issue that I had this morning involved replenishing my supply of beer in 8oz cans. I forgot that my county does not allow beer sales before 8:00 am. :( Walmart was well stocked, busy and the majority of people were wearing masks, observing social distancing, etc... Still a few couples shopping and a few with tweenagers in tow.

The Walmart parking lot is being consumed by a new COVID 19 drive-thru testing site that is due to open Friday. Our county executive has been in a minor squabble over the jurisdiction of the site. He has finally worked out a compromise with Quest labs to start by performing an initial outreach to test all nursing home workers in the county as part of an effort to prevent potential hotspots. I think that he had that idea tucked in his pocket right from the start, he's a pretty smart young man.

When I got up this morning we had a couple of inches of fresh snow.

More snow is expected tonight.

That's my entire week in a nutshell.
 

Today, like yesterday, is just beautiful weather around here ... cool and sunny... Daily walks are so invigorating
I haven't been to any stores as of late and probably will stay away until May. I'm well stocked with everything I need.

Things seem to be in order where I live at my senior apartments. Don't know of anyone sick with the virus. There are afternoon gab sessions near the clubhouse again, but keeping their distances in seating.

Everyone, have a great day!☀

When I took my early morning walk at 6:40,didn't see too many cars or people.It was 33
This morning,one of my neighbors and I are going to grocery store we both like.I'll be interested to see if other customers will be wearing masks since Gov Cuomo's exec order starts today
The rest of my day,read NYT,my book and go for short afternoon walk before the snow showers start
 
well we have had super weather -but today its breezy 'and sunny but with a chill in the air '
usually we sit in the garden on the family swing -but not today Brrrrr ,,,trying not to take notice of the windows with the sun on them and boy do they show up the smears lol ; started a huge puzzle last week just getting the hang of it -when I got up and it tilted in the frame all over the floor GRRRRR so bck in the box it goes -lol 'may do a bit of sketching - or watch a movie ' ..!!
 
Currently 39 here. I got about an hours worth of yard work done yesterday afternoon when it got up to low 50s. Hope to do the same today. Did go to the local grocer yesterday for a couple of necessaries. I'd guess about 2/3rds of the people were wearing masks.

Got my order for latex gloves yesterday. The masks are supposed to be here today or tomorrow.
 
It's my birthday..we were going to take a drive and although nothing is open we were gonna take a drive further up county with some food and drink and go into the woods or meadows and take pictures of the beautiful spring like conditions we have, it's been really warm and sunny here for the last 4 weeks,
Unfortunately rain was forecast from lunchtime today for the first time in weeks , so very disappointedly I've put it off, and stayed home... guess what?... i't s now past 2pm and it's sunny and no sign of rain... so I could have gone out after all...:confused:

oooh how annoying about the jigsaw... I would have screamed.... :eek:
 
Been cleaning a lot. I've gotten so much done despite my injured paw. Not moving it certain ways helps and I've tried ice and heat and a wrap and none seemed to help much. The wrap made it hurt more regardless of how I turned it. It may be a tendon hurting and goes from my outer wrist to my thumb. Dang thing, maybe it will just take some more healing time.

Did laundry last night and a neighbor came in. Since it was extremely early in the morning I didn't put my mask on and either had the neighbor. We talked a little from a good distance. He said he came to do his laundry at that time since other times others are there. I said same with me. He told me he had just finished more chemo. I had baked him cupcakes a few times to try to put some weight on him. I hope he can get better as more people now are going through new chemos that extend their life for some time. The only thing I could tell him is that I hope he gets better and he thanked me. I sure hope he doesn't come down with the virus as his immune system must be pretty weak by now.

Put together my new fan and it's a really good oscillating one on a stand. It has a remote. Put it in the bedroom for the summer. Not sure if I'll keep it there, I may put the other one on a stand in there and have the better one in the living room.

Attempted to clean some stains on the carpeting, shelf lined in the kitchen, washed kitchen floor, dusted and vacuumed.

Got a food delivery today and it had everything I ordered--first time for that during this pandemic. I hope my Monday delivery will be as good.

A good day and weekend to all!

Good Morning One and All...
How are we doing Friends, are we all managing through this. Managing over here on Hwy 15... Yesterday we got some more work done around the house yesterday, Took the rest of the shutters down to paint, which we started last summer. Lorie painted, and I washed the siding on the house... could not believe in how dirty the house was.

Didn't sleep at all last night, just could not fall asleep, so Carll and I are going for a nap very shortly. Suppose to rain all day today.

Well, Everyone... I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... Keep Safe... God Bless Everyone...,
 
Beautiful day, but my Broadband and landline phone have a problem. Earliest I could get an engineer is Wednesday and we have to observe a lot of precautions because of the Covid virus. Meanwhile, it's just about holding together.

Friends dropped by to deliver some excess plants and seeds that they had. Of course they couldn't stop, but we had a chat on the phone (before it developed the fault). I got the mower going and cut the grass and Mrs.L got some more plants on the go.

This is the view over the back fence this afternoon. Suddenly everything's green as the new crops start to grow.

When I went on my early walk this morning around 6:50,to get local paper,Bflo News,sun was trying to come out,the birds were chirping,saw 3 people out walking
After watching church service online,went for mid morning walk,as soon as I got back around 11:40,the heavens opened ,wind picked up.So much for taking an afternoon walk
The rest of my day finished reading the paper,started watching couple NCIS: New Orleans repeats on POP channel.I'll be watching again as I'm eating dinner tonight
 
Been doing a load of laundry every night and this nite will be my last for awhile. It will be so good to get that done.
Getting through this pandemic okay so far as long as I can relax. Slept real good last night, took a bit extra medicine and slept oh so soundly without a wake up, for a change.

Been feeling like doing mostly stretching exercises. Feels so good to stretch these old muscles! I do them as much as I can tolerate and right now it isn't a lot but by all means better than nothing.

I hope everyone has a good day or night!
 
Good Morning Everyone...

Well, I got some sleep. going back in a bit, to try and get some more... Well this weekend, I became an uncle again, as in many days... My sister's kids are twins, and they both had a kid within days of each other...So that kewl!

Well, nothing else really going on, so I hope YOU all have the most wonderful day ever, and God Bless!!
