Well Friday was basically a stay at home day and work outside in the yards and gardens; except for the afternoon when it got to hot to do anything outside. I read and cat napped until 5'ish when I appeared from the computer bedroom and we did some supper. We got an early morning phone call from sister Dee and hubby Mike as they were out an about heading to shop in the big city of Woodstock, Va. It always raises our fears of someone in trouble when the phone rings at that time of the day but it was a social call and we were pleased to start the day with much laughter. All is well with them and their family, but they too are on lock down or lock out from this virus with their jobs.
After my morning routines and quiet times Nancy did some bacon in the oven and we had a bacon, egg, tomato and lettuce sandwiches for our late breakfast. Afterwards I headed out to hand water and piddle around in the back yard gardens and yards. I harvested a nice mess of radishes and carrots from the side garden. I'm waiting on the recently sowed Bibb lettuce seeds to seed if they germinate. It's starting to get so hot now that they may not show any color despite keeping the soil damp.
I harvested the last couple Bibb heads and cleaned then to add to the salad bowl when needed. I still have some Simpson and Romaine heads that haven't bolted yet. The cukes are finally showing lots of nubbins as are the two egg plants. We won't go hungry thats for sure and I'm harvesting collard greens twice today; one mess for us and the Ross family supper this evening and another mess for the local firemen/neighbor Bobby as he goes on 24 hour duty Sunday morning. His son Kellen, also a rookie fireman for St.Pete has moved back in with his dad, after his wife and he split. They help with looking after our place when we leave in June.
Well I've been watching You Tube on the lap top and I must say since the library has closed for any book's checkouts or returns there are some very interesting video's about living off the grid as well as some awesome historical documentaries. I'm relaxing on the bed with my ear plugs in so as to not interfere with Nancy's live streaming with her social groups.
We took a nice evening hike just before dark through the hood and the streets are bare of any traffic. We did see lots of what appeared family folks out in their yards, talking, exercising and barbecuing as well. It wasn't long after Tucker Carlson that I hit the showers and was soon tuned in to the Nat. Geo. Channel about Alaska living in my bedroom and then it was lights out at 10'ish for me, LATER
