The library is closed due to this virus but they did have a side door open for those with holds and I picked up one on my way home. I can understand doing what is needed to contain the spreading of this disease but using common sense is also a factor in that area. DO NOT Kiss anyone or exchange contact with someone who is not a family member, oh well. The bias MSM has caused this fiasco and they should be held accountable for all this hoarding and panic behavior especially in the grocery stores. In reality this is what we would be facing if communist Bernie were to be elected as the Free Loaders of this next generation wanted. Just maybe this is a wake up call for many folks and now with the open border idiots who see just how devastating allowing aliens into the nation spreading diseases, yep just maybe now Americans see just what happens when you have radical leftest in the congress.
I piddled around in the yards and gardens until lunchtime. I had a pickle ball buddy come by for a sack full of leafy greens and he was thrilled. The Bibb lettuces are all coming to a head so I still have a dozen or more to give away. The other lettuces are not quite totally headed up but these hot days are causing them to mature. I pulled weeds and got an area ready for transplanting 8 volunteer tomato plants into the garden. I'm not sure if they will mature before we leave in June for the cabin. The cucumber and the pole beans are climbing and the egg plants are setting fruit once again. I harvested the last of the beets I started from seed in November and have enough for one more meal of sliced buttered beets. The new beet seedlings are now giving off leaves large enough for our salad bowl which we actually like better than the beet themselves. They are a super food and a must for good health.
On a sad note my fireman neighbor and his wife of just about 3 years are splitting. He came over last evening while I was working in the front yard weeding and watering to tell me why I hadn't seen her car there this past week. He was totally sad but OK with the situation and now his son who is a fireman is moving back home with him. She was always pleasant and cordial to me and the family, oh well. I watered the front yard until nearly 8:30 by hand then headed in to watch some You Tube documentary on the Nements, an Eskimo like tribe in Siberia who live with and for the reindeer herds. It's amazing they can survive with minus 60 below zero in skin tepee's and move their herds every 3-4 days to find new grazing under the snow for the deer. Wow such a busy life and they do everything themselves with the help of the reindeer.
Nancy took Ava Mae our oldest grand child shopping for her birthday after lunch so Sam and I held the fort down while the girls were at the mall. Both he and I are not fans of shopping so I read and he played on his device, LATER
Our mountain friend who breeds Gypsy Varner's had a foal born on a live video last night and already its up and about. Notice the bare trees in the background so winter is still in the mountains.
