In the time of the virus: day 96

Posted on June 27, 2020 by

And here we are again on the weekly merry-go-round back at Saturday. A very different day from last Saturday – from my perspective, enjoyably cooler and showery (so no need to water anything apart from the greenhouse plants).  Sadly an … Continue reading →

Too tired to write much, after a completely wonderful day.  Drove up to visit youngest son, d-i-l and granddaughter on the farm where they live.  Perfect weather for staying outdoors all day.  Despite not seeing each other for 3 whole … Continue reading →

Posted on June 7, 2020 by

Another Sunday.  The sun is shining, and everything outside feels so much fresher after the rain (even if there was less of it than I hoped for).  As do I after a good night’s sleep. I decided to preempt my … Continue reading →
