May 2020... Please Tell us about your Day... May Flowers should be Appearing...

In my previous post,I mentioned one of the Canopy of Neighbors members was making cotton masks for other members who wanted one.Yesterday afternoon,Camille dropped off mine,profusely thanked her for doing this,for the 2 other members who received one of her masks
This morning,my friend,Mary is taking me to Target,to see if I can find folding lawn chair like mine for my next door neighbor,Pat.In the past,the chairs/tables&umbrellas would be outside in our community garden area for the residents use,doubt it will happen this summer. There are a couple uncomfortable black chairs in the back by the grill you can use,afterwards now you wipe or spray with disenfectant.I prefer my own chair
The rest of my day read NYT,go on afternoon walk,read my book
 

Thank you for the info and input, and the hope, @MarciKS
I knew they had given her the test on the Friday, with results due in 3 to 6 days....
but she got worse overnight that Friday night, (before last Friday) and had to go into hospital on Sat. the following day.

She lives alone and doesn't have any children.

They will have to keep her for the full 14 days. If we don't hear anything by then, she could be having complications. I've been praying for her.
 
Was another nice day yesterday, still big south winds, but in the back where i'm working on a job, the fence helps block it. Life is good, being outside where i love to be, early morning coffee on the deck, listening to the chorus of happy birds, doesn't get any better. today, a repeat of yesterday. 😄😄😄
 
It is finally going to be seasonable temps here for a while, so this morning I put all the houseplants I had inside over the winter outdoors in the backyard. I set the medium or small sized one on wooden tables. I have a few snake plants and peace lilies that will just have to sit on the ground. The date palm , large cactus and dracaena are on the front porch. I hate moving that cactus - it's heavy, tall and lanky, with two "branches" and has such long needles, I always get stuck.

This morning when I went on my early walk at 6:50,it was 50,wearing capri pants for the 1st time The forecast is p.sunny temps near 70
My mid morning walk,strolled over to local co-op store{I'm a member} bought a couple of items
This afternoon after lunch&nap,changed into pair of shorts,still wearing light turtleneck sat in our community garden for about 40 min,had sun screen on.I had my mask with me,didn't put it on since nobody else was outside on this beautiful day.It felt wonderful sitting out there watching the squirrels,birds.I put mask back on when I came back into the building
 
Busy, busy, busy. Started real early this morning. Finished spreading new gravel on all the walk ways around my house and pool. Then went to work bucking up some of the trees I had cut down and stacking them where I'll be using the wood splitter. After that, a quick trip to our local meat butcher to pick up some bones for the fur babies. :) Then, down to the creek to survey any damage from our last rain. (none thank goodness). While hiking the trail back up to the house, I spotted a black snake who was shedding his skin so I was able to sneak up on him and as soon as he was done, I picked him up to admire. About 3 foot long and almost as thick as my arm. (that might explain the lack of squirrels around here) Brought him home to show the wife. :eek: She apparently didn't see the same beauty I did, so I took him back down to his spot and turned him loose.
Now, time to sit and surf the world wide web. (y)
 
Very interesting to see the plants you moved outdoors, @debodun !

I am glad I didn't see the snake, @squatting dog :ROFLMAO:
but it was a funny story!

I think I might have more enjoyed seeing the skin it had shed, than the creature itself. as perhaps your wife might have rather, as well. :LOL:

My poor house is all discombobulated outside. The painters are here and all our ornaments are down and moved while they paint. Just getting things ready to spray the house. We decided on this color, big picture on left. Do you like the gray door or not? Haven’t really decided on the door color.

The grey door looks nice. What colour is the house?
 
Been hot here today.. hubs was back at work, so I went shopping..to the farm shop which is open and although more expensive than regular shops it has stock the supermarkets don't have at the moment like flour, and a lot of things they make themselves.. .. I got the regular shopping and treated myself to some pistachio ice-cream and dark chocolate peppermints.. :love:

As it was so hot, and I have the fortune of having 2 children in the rental next door who scream at high pitch from morning until early hours of the following morning.. and now there's no school it's n t easy to sit in the garden in any peace on a sunny day... so I went out, as much as to get away from them and also to give my car a good run, hasn't had one in weeks.. so I drove it up the motorway at over 80 for about 20 miles ... and then drove home through all the surrounding lanes and villages near my home.. and stopped to take some pics on the way.... It's usually very quiet here anyway, but today it seemed even more quiet than usual, and I thought people were just staying home in the heat and obeying the social distance rules... how wrong could I be..?

Look at this in the beaches nearest to us (within 40 minutes drive) ... reported in the news tonight... Not a lot of social distancing going on here, and I'll bet a pound to a penny that some of those will be parents refusing to send their children back to school on the 1st of June due to the dangers of catching the virus in the classroom ..

...anyway I hope that those not practising social distance aren't responsible for a second wave...I have a horrible feeling they might...

I however, was practising social distancing to the max.. mask and gloves on in the farm shop... then driving alone in my car out here in the sticks... no-one around..I saw a horse , some sheep and 3 separate walkers.. ...proper people bombing :LOL:
