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

I'm wondering how Yo-Yo is doing in hospital ..

Just getting ready to pick up our groceries from my daughter & SIL's place. We talked them into letting us pick them up, rather than them bringing them here. It gets us out for a little drive. We'll get to wave at each other and say "love you!".
 

HI Mike,sorry to hear about you&wife,hope you both feel better soon
This morning when I went on my early walk at 6:50 to get local paper,the sun was out but alas it didn't last long
I took my mid morning walk around 9:30 went to local co-op for some fruit,lettuce.I was surprised to see another customer not wearing a mask,wondered how he was allowed in the store. I guess he may have had it in his coat pocket.As I was walking home,noticed 3 people not wearing masks,idiots!! In the beginning,it felt strange not to wear a mask,but now its part of my daily walk routine.
I then watched our weekly church service online,it was good still strange to do it this way
After lunch and nap had another Zoom meeting with my brother,JOhn sister in law,Suzanne,neices, Katie &Liz from New Hampshire.It was wonderful to see them,made my day.I think this how we'll do our Sun ritual from now on
 

@mike4lorie , how did both of you Crack and bruise your Ribs?.. what were you doing? :oops:

@Yo-Yo.... get well soon, hope you're not in hospital too long , it's the last place most of us want to go at this juncture , but when needs must then you have to get professional help...hopefully nothing too much to worry about and you'll be right as rain soon.. or snow as the case may be, according to these pictures that have been posted... :eek::giggle:
 
Today I stayed around the house, doing chores, changing bed linen, washing & drying and vac'ing throughout... with the help of hubs...:D

Yesterday afternoon we went out for a walk around the local park for about an hour and a half.. ...it was glorious sunshine for a holiday w/e.. temps were 80 degrees with a bit of a breeze, so just nice... ...I've put some pictures on the Photo thread here on the forum that I took while were out.. :cool: find them here... https://www.seniorforums.com/threads/my-mayday-walk-around-our-local-park.49075/

Then we went to the supermarket... expecting a big queue.. and for the first time in 2 months we were able to go straight in..our town was like a ghost town, not because everyone was practising social distancing and staying home, but the opposite, they'd all gone away to the coast, or somewhere for the day.... which was later proved to be correct with photos in the media of the beaches packed, and the City parks packed... ..


We however, stayed local and passed just a few people on our walk , mainly people on bikes... ...anyway, it was an absolute pleasure to walk around the supermarket, no long queues, no bossy orders from staff ...empty aisles... and full shelves... , wow!! it was almost emotional like we'd regained something lost forever .:(. but anyway, we took the chance to stock up on groceries so we don't have to go again anytime soon, because today the queues would have been back as long as ever again..

Boris made an announcement tonight to say everyone who can't work from home, must return to work... but they have not to use public transport if at all possible..only 20 % of all trains, tubes and buses are currently running.. ..
The law on exercise has been relaxed and as from Wednesday everyone can go outdoors to exercise for as long as they want, and play sports, as long as they play and socialise with only members of their own household (lots of people will ignore that rule, they have been already).. , but other than that nothing is changing until at least the beginning of June..

@hollydolly Sounds like you're having a great Mothers Day, so great for you. As some bans are being relaxed where you are, hope it's not too soon, and wish and hope people are using common sense, think it's still a long road ahead.......Enjoy the rest of your Mother's evening.

Update: This morning I decided to call the on call weekend Doctor as my breathing over night was getting worse. My coughing, chills, and fevers still remain the same and they recommended with my advanced age that I call 911 which I am going to do as soon as I get a few toiletries together for the hospital and some under cloths. I do not not what the service will be like at the hospital so this may be my last update for sometime until I get out of the hospital. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Thank You all.

If you are able, Yo-Yo, please let us know what's happening and good luck to you. 😘
 
I had no idea that Mother's Day is different than ours Holly, wonder why.....Today was very uneventful, was very cold, got to 8, but a very cold north wind, wind chill -1, to think, wind chill in May, climate change is definitely doing it's thing. Was thinking my list of summer cloths may get downsized, may only need to sew a few new pieces. So all in all, no state emergencies, the world didn't explode, and no visitors from another planet, so the day was alright.......Hope all you moms had a good day. 💐💐💐
 
Good Evening One and All...

Well got some good news today, Found out my Grandson is going to be a Big Brother to a Sister... Wonderful news around here...

Today my Buddy came down to strip the last little bit out of his trailer before the scrapper comes tomorrow afternoon around 1 to drag it out of here... We attempted to lower the 80 pounds AC off the top but decided to call another Buddy, and he will be here tomorrow morning around 10 to help us haul her off the roof...

Then we will get her off the blocks, and she'll be ready to go...

Well that's about all for now, so I hope YOU all have a great night, keep Safe.. and God Bless YOU all
 
Woke up to huge snowflakes falling .. so beautiful and mesmerizing. It's 4C, so I don't think much will accumulate on the roads.

The building is turning on the a/c and turning off the heat this week. I recall, last year at this time, we had all the windows open because it was so warm.

Ah well, the snow has to stop some time.
 
Its another dreary day here in WNY,cloudy with rain on/off
On my early walk at 6:40,strolled 3 blocks to 7/11 convient store bought USA Today couple other items
I didn't anybody out walking just saw a couple of cars
This morning I'll be calling Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are doing or need anything.
After I call everybody which takes 1hr 1/2,I usually go take a walk before lunch,weather permitting
 
Despite the snow on Saturday,
it has been beautiful out, since then, and Spring seems to slowly be coming, finally, even here, in the North country.
Tulips are in beautiful bloom, now. Undaunted by the changes back and forth, from freezing to mild.
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

The male goldfinches are getting brighter and brighter, with their summer jackets of golden yellow, in place of their duller winter coats. They seem to think they will not need those, any time soon again.
I hope they're right!

I went to Aldi's food shopping today; my second trip out to a bigger store. Wore my mask and gloves, but forgot it wipe off items that I put into the freezer.

They had no chicken, but they did have a bag of frozen boneless chick breast with up to 15% water! Also got 4 cans of white chicken. Also some salmon and haddock.

When I got out of the store it was pouring rain, but it had already passed through my neighborhood. Thank God. It's hard enough to carry in the bags without having to do it in the rain.

So instead of cooking, I'm eating "everything" crackers with red pepper spread and Feta cheese. Guess that's supper.

I have so much work to do in here, ugh.
 
Despite the cold temp today, was a good day at the office. The time i spent thinking about the changes i wanted to make in the backyard, became reality today, moved some decor, around, some containers, urns, had pea stones in them, so had to take out the stones to move them, i use them to put solar lights in, almost done that, also cleaned up and mowed the front yard. It only got up to +6 today, but i worked hard enough to keep warm. To think, May 11, trying to keep warm. Must try to get as much done tomorrow as i can, supposed to rain wednesday and thursday. It's so cold out the grass is discoloured like it gets in the fall from cold.
 
Sun is coming up and some blue sky is there. -5 right now and the wood stove is working hard.
Snow is mostly melted accept in protected areas. Then later this morning we are getting for rain and snow, to replace what got melted
yesterday.
