I gave my sister some back on the day for her knees..
Sheri..there are several things I could do with proper preparations.But between my Daughter and my DH, I dare not go anywhere much...After the governor opens up the state, I will tell them both I WILL get my soil, pots, and plants.
I just finished cleaning the kitchen. After my soap, I will head to sleep. Sweet Dreams.

I went out yesterday...just to the butcher shop(I loaded up on chicken, our local store ran out) but it was exhausting just trying to keep people away. People just do not want to social distance, I was the only person in the store with a mask and gloves. Aching bones seems to be the only 'reward' for working hard all one's life....my grandfather used to put WD-40 on his knees

Good morning.
Yes about other people not social distancing. About a week and a half ago, the people about a block away from us had a huge party. Cars all up and down the road...although they really do not have room in their driveway, still there was a lot of people. Then our neighbors to the west had her DD come over with her 3 kids..one a 3 week old baby....later she said the kids stayed in the yard...but I could swear I saw the DD taking a walk around the block when I was doing the same, which means "grandma" had the baby and was watching the other 2....
Sorry you were in such a scenario, Sunny. But glad you now have meat.

I haven't been out for a couple of months. I wonder what it would be like now. I've heard lots of stories about it from around the country and the world but haven't experienced it personally. Good morning.

I just ordered my Mother's Mother's Day gift and had it sent to my sister's house...probably too late to get there in time but we can hope.
I find just being out in the yard helps me tremendously....But who knows what our new "normal" will be like...

I don't travel much either but I miss my once a month trip to Walmart and the Dollar store....as well as my visits from GB.
I don't do online shopping so it has been a pain to not have items that I want/need.

I only online shop if DH is willing to use his Credit card...(not for many things), or if they take pay pal credit. This is not a fun time for me at all.

Walmart shopping will return and maybe your dollar store too. Did it shut down as a nonessential business, Sunny? Many of our dollar stores also have food so they are still around. I mostly shop online for things like Teddy's sweats. If I buy him regular sweats like Hanes or something, they tend to tear out in the seat or crotch in one wearing. I get much better quality from Lands End. Costly but it beats wear-once-and-dispose.

Evening all,
Just finished doing next months budget... put it off cause my office was really warm,,, don't want to turn on air yet so waited till could open window for breeze... but it got done... was over 90 here today and every ceiling fan and stand fan was going but it is getting really close to 100 so may have to bite the bullet and turn on air... oh well better than snow and rain.... so won't complain to much... we arranged to have our house and shed painted in a couple weeks... they will seal all the stucco cracks and seal around all the windows.. paint the patio cover and the shed too... we have seen their work and do a good job … took us a while to decide to paint it the same as it is now... it's a Spanish style house and I like the colors... hubby wasn't sure but told him it just fits the style and neighborhood..
I have made a couple washable masks for hubby and I am working on a couple more .. I think this will last longer than they say too... and don't want to be caught short … just glad we shopped early and a lot..even though it hit the budget hard... I have been home except for doc appts and blood tests... he had a over the phone one today … life is changing and may just stay that way.... who knows... Well going to go find leftovers for dinner... not to hungry when it's so warm but plan to try and find a good size outside table to eat at when it's nice outside to eat... we grill a lot so it would be easy to do...
Enjoy your evening … stay well.
Nana

Wow ! Nana, so hot so early ?? I am so sorry. Glad that you got your house painted.
Washable masks, sounds perfect! Good for you ! I have a few paper ones like you see in Drs. Offices..but as I have no sewing machine, I hope I can make them last long enough. Glad that you can make your own. That makes me smile.
We had leftovers to night. Tomorrow I am putting pork chops in a slow cooker. Easy and good..at least I think so.

Tina, the stores are open but I am just trying to avoid the crowds....I miss the browsing part of it(it was the only me time I got it seems...all by myself for a few hours). Enjoy the new paint Nana....it's good to keep up with the cracks forming. Well, DH inspected the front door and it seems we will have to replace the whole thing. It is 26 years old so it lasted as long as it could I suppose....our Winter weather is hard on exterior items. Now to keep an eye out for a sale on one. We are getting heavy rain today....the snow is melting before our eyes

Good morning.
I have heard that people are going to Wal-Mart here and want to walk around and walk around...I guess they are invited to leave. There was a letter on Facebook saying while we ( Wal-Mart) understand that you are board, now is not the time to walk around Wal-Mart for hours. You are invited to come in, Get your items and then leave. I have heard nothing since.
Well I guess it is time for a new door. Good luck on the hunt. I hope you find a nice one. I am glad the snow is melting...it is supposed to be sunny here today...possible sprinkles tonight.

I can grow those as a winter annual if I bought them as plants. They fry in the heat no matter what I try to do qith them. And thy are to expensive to treat like that. I enjoy pics though.

I moved some wild violets to a bed against the house .they took hold well and are even starting to bud. My magnolia tree has a few blooms yet..and what is left of my azalea bush has a few flowers as well. I think next year I am going to try to remove it and buy a purple flowering Azalea bush for the same place.

Good afternoon. Electric to move some BlackBerry shoots..but they were runners from a main brznch, so I tried one then we stopped.
We have 4 baby robins in the front yard byshes. Kinda makes it awkward to go get the mail but we don't want to upset momma bird.
Storms due here at 3 pm....

Yep momma birds are quite protective. We are trying to avoid her " bush" as much as possible.
Just took a few of my smaller pots into the house. We are going to possibly getting a storm with winds. oops..here comes the rain !
