Day 42 Saturday 4/25/20 COVID LOCKDOWN

Saturday April 25, 2020

 An absolutely gorgeous day - just right for a burn.  So, at 10 AM we started, and 12,000 steps later, at 3 PM, we finished.  Only one small out of control fire-let.  Quickly put out with the hose.  I also got out my lady sized chain saw and got prepped on how that worked.  Took down about a dozen saplings - finding it was quite exhausting, even with the chain-saw.

LUNCH was sitting outside, eating up leftovers from the week.

1 PM Family Zoom with the girls, who had had a game night by Zoom the night before.

Our IntaCart delivery also arrived today - quite a red-letter day.  So we categorized, cleaned, and put away our cache of food - 3 days from now we can dig in (except the potato chips that didn't last that long).

 Put together my bamboo plant rack - soon I'll be able to get some starters!

 DINNER in the sunroom, leftover beet salad and Brussels sprouts from Johnny's were all we needed.  Delicious and smokey.

PM - Call to Lynn and Mary - surprise when Dough picked up the phone...we learned that, unbeknownst to us, it was Mary's birthday.  More importantly, we learned that Lynn was in the hospital - a terrifying tale of a fever, shakes, difficulty breathing and a foot rash that led Mary calling 911.  First responders coming with full PPE terrifying Mary, but that a COVID test had been negative - yet still they were keeping him in the hospital for observation.
