Usually the time when Canadians emerge from hibernation to try and assimilate with longer days and warmer sunshine.
This year of course, it’s a little different.
We need to exercise more caution. We need to be more aware of our surroundings.
Most importantly, we need to be aware that our social distancing is protecting our weaker members of society. The more vulnerable who deserve our protection. These are our senior citizens, our immune compromised, our neighbours, our grandparents. All of our people are important and need to be protected.
It’s also rather simple. Stay home. If we need to venture out, exercise caution. Wash our hands, often!
I’ll be honest. Every time I need to go out for supplies, I never sleep well the night/day before. My anxiety kicks into overdrive. Who knew all those years in y youth playing Pac-Man would provide me with the necessary life skills to survive 2020?
Right now my family and I are enjoying the beautiful day outside. The boys are putting the finishing touches on the chicken coop. It is really awesome!
I’ve had to relocate my raspberry bushes. They will need more sun than what would be available between the garage and the coop.
The boys are at the stage where they are putting seals along the doors and windows and trying to find the best location for the water and feed containers.
I’m outside working on my Morag Pullover.
I’m at the sleeves. One more increase then it’s less math for a while.
Please ignore the Jackie hair. She is usually next to me when I’m knitting, or drawing, or playing video games, or breathing. I’m grateful for her company. She really does lower my anxiety levels.
Between knitting and just enjoying the sounds of outside, (not my neighbour’s questionable taste in music), I’m watching the antics of this cute little bumblebee.
He has quite the selection to enjoy!
I also have my herbs started in their containers.
This year, I’m trying something a little different with my tomato plants.
I Initially purchased this giant plastic container for my Oleander tree. I thought if I insulated it, maybe it would survive winter. I chickened out. I placed the Oleander in it’s usual place in the garage.
So now I have this giant bucket thing. I thought why not use it for the tomatoes?
They seem to like it.
I’m going to continue working on my sleeves.
Have a great day everyone! It’s going to be okay!
