Yes, I think you are both right..I too am going to keep most of the old rules. Problem will be my SIL going back to work ( he is IT at the local hispital) and so I worry for rebounds and then I will worry about visiting them...at least until there is a vaccine.
Good morning. I am making no-brainer cinnamon rolls today

Cinnamon rolls sound good, Carol. I am so into fruity filled pastry and such. I see a piece of fresh fruit and turn it into baked goods ln my imagination. In reality, very little baking goes on here. It's too hot already.

Thanks they were good. Nice and flaky. However, they needed more flour than the recipe called for. DH requested I add oatmeal next time instead of more flour.....and to double the recipe.

I spent the day shoveling snow so I can use my clothesline.

I'm glad it was shovel-able, Sunny. I would have needed a pickax to get to my cothesline in Rochester, NY.

I'm glad it was shovel-able, Sunny. I would have needed a pickax to get to my cothesline in Rochester, NY. Well I had to cut into it with the shovel because it was to heavy to go through with the hand blower...I should have used a pick ax. They have announced that we can form a 'two family bubble' starting today....but our family(DD and my mother) won't stay home so I refused all offers.

Good morning. I agree with you wholeheartedly, Sunny. I cut my hair last night. I haven't looked yet to see how it came out. It feels good though. I have to cut Teddy's next.

Ah yez, cutting hair.. I should really..but I will put it off for awhile....Valarie has an appt. For 2 weeks away (we go to the same girl). I will see what she thought...or if she goes at all.
Gracious Sunny..sorry to hear that. I read one comment one person made in a Facebook thread about opening up the various states. That person said..well, it is a free country Stay at home if YOU want to...well yes, but what about the person who has a job, and needs said job. If all things are opened up, people will be told to come back to work...and unless you are working to keep yourself occupied, you will go back to work..if you want to or not...Gracious.
Rod cut grass early today..so I went out after lunch to rake up what I could to use on my blackberries, and it was raining just enough to drive me back into the house.
Now I am waiting for the dryer to stop.

If people stay out of those businesses, everyone is safer. It does not help the economy much. I am in favor of health, myself. We do not know enough about this virus to gamble peoples lives.We need more learning, more testing, more numbers. We have more questions than answers.

I am with you Tina.... staying home for duration... so glad we stocked up and can survive ok for a couple months if we need to.. and we may at the rate it's going... talked to my youngest, in Colo.. she is still working but she says the panic buying has slowed down... she thinks probably cause they ran out of money or finally realized the truckers are still driving... hopefully this is soon over but we are not counting on it... her son lost his job and she hired him at the store to stock at night... and he and his girlfriend and the baby moved down close to her so she gets to see him a lot... she will be going to the school of Mines when schools open or online if they don't … my two grandsons do online school so nothing changed for them... my hubby is supposed to be getting blood work done and the lab here is closed according to the website... so hubby has to call doc later to see what she wants him to do... won't be going to Tucson if that's what she wants … joys of small town life during a pandemic... Well off to get off next months birthday cards... or at least get them ready to go out... gotta a bill to pay too.... so glad we do it online...
Have a good day all and stay well.... Nana

Nice to hear from you. Sounds as if things are going well for you. That is good to hear. Stay safe..stay well.
I finally went out. All Rod and I raked up was a 5 gal bucket of grass clippings. But hey, it covered the small area I had that was empty under my blackberries. It is the little things.

Aw, the smell of fresh cut grass....mmmm.
This pandemic is not going to go away anytime soon...especially with reckless people everywhere. Our province got over 700 calls to the 'tip' line this weekend, which makes no sense...you can call to report the rule breakers but by the time they check it...the people are all gone back home.

The sun is shining and the snow is melting...ever so slowly. I can't wait to be able to get my raking done. I have to call in an order soon at the hardware store...and add a rake for GG, apparently she needs her own. I'll not argue with a future gardener.

So, DH got a neighboring farmer to pick up our pig feed when he went for his today(they do favors back and forth). DH went to pick up the feed at the neighbors house and GG went for a drive. The farmer put the feed in the box of the truck then opened up the door and set a box down in the back seat with a bucket of something. GG opened the box to find two baby chicks inside and the bucket had chick feed....so guess what is in my house, in a box by the woodstove for a few weeks? I pray they live, they are only one week old.

Sunny I feel for you waiting for the snow to melt. It was beautiful here today. I have lettuce and radishes ready to eat from the garden. A lot of people have already planted their entire garden. I'm going to wait a few more days.

Goodnight everyone.

If they are female...at this age it's a 50/50 chance that we have two roosters It was wonderful to wake up to the sound of birds chirping this morning though....even if it was from inside my house. We are supposed to have a 'good melting day' today.

Good morning. It was raining when I got up, but now I hear birds ( not baby chicks) chirping..so I guess the rain has stopped.
Yay for rain Sunny, and yay for melting snow !
Had to make powdered milk. None at Sam's when I ordered it...

Junie, here they are forcing the farmers to dump excess milk to keep a milk price drop from happening like the gas situation. People are overbuying more than normal causing a shortage to the 'normal' supply allowed for supermarkets. It all makes no sense.

Well, milk only lasts so long..so there is that. However, there are those who freeze,extra, to avoid going out later, and people like me who is " trying" to buy gallons instead of half gallon s to avoid going out...I too froze about 1-1\2 qt.of my gallon to make sure it stays good. But now I may make Rod go from store to store look ok my for milk soon.

I woke at 3 am with some awful aching in my knees (mostly). I got up and took some meds and went back to sleep eventually. Days half done here.

Well, the knees aren;t new, they are way past their warranty. Just the warming weather usually makes them ease off some. Not so much any more.

Sorry about your knees Tina. Is it arthritis? Have you ever tried Glucosamine?
Junie, why can't you go buy dirt? Put on a mask, let them load it, then leave it in your car in the heat for a few days. The radishes are so good. I hate there's no way to save some for all winter.
Sunny, I had a pet chicken one time. Not sure where I got it. We've talked about getting chickens for the eggs but I think it would bring in every creature in town trying to eat them. We don't have a lot of creature problems and I don't want them to start. A few of my friends have a problem with coyotes because they have chickens.

Yes, Sheri. I use Glucosamine with Condroitin regularly. I don't see much of a difference when I miss a day or so though.
