I think the cure IS going to be worse than the disease ...

So how are you filling this seemingly endless time of imprisonment? I'm trying to not stay penned in and we're going out and doing as much as we are allowed to do! And so far we haven't died. Wow! 

Here's some things that's happened that sort of worries me/ticks me off: my normal dental checkup is off (cancelled; supposed to be today as a matter of fact) and I'm brushing & flossing very religiously because it wasn't re-scheduled; having my mammogram cancelled & not rescheduled (which was scheduled for July for Pete's sake!!); erased another of W.'s appointments out of my calendar (there were four heart-related appointments -- one an echocardiogram); wondering how long the temporary fix I did to W.'s glasses will hold. I need a haircut BAD and I'm going to cut W.'s hair as soon as we both get the nerve up. My car needs to go thru Crew Car Wash (I cleaned the inside this week because it's dirty from eating in the car ... because you can't actually go INSIDE a restaurant) but the outside is dirty. Just a few things, some important, some not so much but I say "stop the madness!"  LOL! ... I'm sure you're facing these sorts of things, too. We're all facing different sorts of issues. It helps to vent. Thanks.

Last Saturday we drove to Owen Valley Winery and got two bottles and a cheesecake (to-go of course 😒). There were about six atv's and 15-20 people there of all ages, getting together in the parking lot, without face masks, drinking and eating and having a great time. I almost got out of the car and joined them! I so miss being social ... out and about ... remember? like normal? It was a lovely day for a drive. Enjoyed the back roads through Owen County and felt a momentary pang of fear when I met a sheriff's vehicle. What if they stopped me and asked where I was going? (For wine officer ...) Wonder what our future will be? Some of our leaders have had a taste of real power and it's obviously intoxicating. Sort of like that nice Gewurztraminer we enjoyed over the weekend.  But I digress ...

So what's been going on? Here's some pics:

My homemade face mask. I wear it where I must. I hate it. And no comments on the hair ... like I said, I need a haircut.

Finished that needlepunch project I mentioned last time and got it glued to the little purse. It goes in my "gift" drawer.

The deer were partying in the side yard one a.m. this week; they especially enjoyed munching on the viburnum. There were five of them in all so they weren't over the social-distancing limit. We stood in the windows and watched them for some time. Looked like a mom and her kids of all ages. I think it's the doe who usually has twins. They all looked really healthy and all seem to be female. No button bucks.

I made a batch of mom's currant-oatmeal cookies this week. Yum! Good and good for you!

When we had that high wind about 10 days ago this Bradford pear came down, right over the driveway. Another fine mess for W. to clean up! He must get so tired of it!

I've been working on this "cat eyes" rug. It's a lot further along than this now and I'll put on another picture when I get it finished (which I'm hoping is before the end of the month). I'm liking it. That border background is lavender, not gray like it appears here ...

Remember what FDR said: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." That's my motto for this week. 

And remember who's in charge (and it's not Dr. Fauci). God is Good!
