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

Went to Sprouts Market this morning at 7:00 when they opened. There weren't too many people there at the time, and those that were were maintaining their distance. I got what I needed, which was mainly fresh produce, and some fresh chicken. I noticed this morning that they've put a limit of two packages of fresh chickens or chicken parts per customer.
 
I put some chicken thighs in the crock pot earlier and will have them for dinner later with some rice and a vegetable. I have been doing some light dusting around the house and vacuuming, but mostly just lounging around listening to music and checking things out on this forum.
 

This morning when I went on my early walk at 6:50,the birds were chirping,it was 45
My mid morning walk around 10,walked a block to the mailbx,felt warmer with the sun being out
I watched our church service on line which was good,I expect we won't be able to get back to normal church services until maybe Sept
Last Sun when I was talking with my brother,I asked if we could somehow do Zoom or Skype because I didn't know when I would see him&family again.He said he would look into it.This afternoon,I was invited to my 1st Zoom meeting,what a thrill it was to see&talk with John,my sister in law,Suzanne,2 nieces,Katie&Liz at their place in New Hampshire. It certainly boosted my spirits,made my day.
 
Great day here, windy but very nice, no bugs yet. Except for those that Ford says don't come up into cottage country. Found out today that 33 from other areas came to get tested and ended up positive. The medical people here made sure the information was sent to their locals for follow up. I am still smiling (y) (y) :) :) :) :).
Spent some time visiting, yes distance consciousness at all times.
Ok people how many people do you think will actually go back to work tomorrow??? Canada and the US are now paying people to stay home.
 
Spend most of yesterday buying 16 Hostas, then planting most of them. It was 78 degrees and sunny. Was going to finish the planting today, but mother nature decided otherwise. We are in the middle of the 4th or 5th thunderstorm of the day. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
 
Not done a great deal today....hubs has been doing some stuff around the house, he's making the most of the time he has at home to get outstanding household decorating and various things done...so he always keeps himself busy..if it wasn't for the fact that we can't go to the pub I don't think he'd even notice we were on lockdown.. he has so much stuff of various types that fill his day.. ..plus he does conferences from home with up to 60 colleagues.. However he's going to be going back to work in dribs and drabs starting from later this week.. he's got 2 days he'll be working then

I feel for you missing your daughters' birthday @Pinky ... I missed my daughters' 3 weeks ago ..she missed mine 2 weeks ago... and we're all going to be missing celebrating my husbands' in a few days time.. although he'll be here with me in the house, and he can at least have a drink , that's about all we can do...

Daughter was just saying to me earlier today we'll have to have one big huge birthday bash to celebrate when this is all over..

In the 70's here today and sunny! I just had to break out!

Drove to Ocean State Job Lots (discounts on overstocks; usually genuine.) Bought a bunch of stuff including some dog toys, 2 carpet runners, a bunch of Indian food pouches.

Then stopped at the liquor store for a can of Modelo chelada. They had a sign on a display of Graves grain alcohol saying you can make hand sanitizer out of it, which I figured you could. I asked the girl about it and she said it's really risky, that you can get bad burns and kids, too. So I guess it has to be mixed well but good luck finding aloe vera.

Yes, we intend to do the same with other relatives whose birthdays are also coming up.

Oh, he says to mix it with glycerin instead of aloe.
 
Hey... How goes it, going here, weather was good, but not as they said it would be, got some pretty heavy winds last night, blew everything, everywhere... Same today, it was about 21 degrees Celcius, but very very windy... Got a few things done this weekend, but not as much as I wanted... Never got the trailer out of the back forty either... Maybe tomorrow... Well, it's Monday tomorrow, not that, that really matters...

Anyways hope everyone had a GREAT one... Keep SAFE... and God Bless YOU all...
 
Saw yesterday on our facebook group that some are breaking the campground rules already, we are not even supposed to go in, and yes I did sneak in the other day but just to put a fence up around my perennial bed and scidaddle out, never stayed but for 10 minutes, but someone went in to check and saw some sitting around drinking beer, others burning leaves and working on their trailer. Party time ahead of time.

I hope the leaf burner is not who I think it is next to me, had a dream they called me today that my trailer burned down. If it is that idiot he has built a fire so high it set off my smoke alarm inside. These are the types that will ruin opening up for us all.

Groceries and the garden centre are the plan for the day.
 
2 above here this morning, some very heavy clouds to the south with a nice breeze. Surprised to see a huge amount of buds
on the trees.
Smiled yesterday, saw some people get caught in a strong wind with very cold (not foretasted) rain. These are people that are not supposed to be up this way getting what they deserve. Today, what will come is what I am doing. More rain I see....lol
 
Woke stiff and aching after a long walk yesterday. Internet is still very erratic after it was supposed to have been fixed. Tests suggested a line fault and so called tech support. They were unable to test the system because they couldn't access the hub (although it appeared to be working OK) so they said they would send me a new one free of charge.

Did a small amount of gardening and then spent a lazy time in the summerhouse doing a jigsaw. Going shopping tomorrow to buy fresh fruit and veges.
 
Update on feeling under the weather today. I had a video doctors appointment just awhile ago and as for right now my doctor is treating it as the flu and told me to get Mucinex and Delsym cough syrup. She told me if I develop fevers I should contact her again to get tested and if I start having difficulty breathing to call 911. As of right now I basically have a sore throat and cough and just feel run down so I am taking it easy and doing what my doctor said with the medicine and drinking a lot of fluids.

Take good care Yo-Yo! The 2 products your doc recommended work very well.
