Day 39

Saturday, April 25, 2020

As this household heads into its 6th week of Nobody-but-Us, and we try to accommodate the new layer of awfulness in this province, I reach for the small things that bring a smile or remind me of other nicer times. This delicious-looking Key Lime Pie from Pension Pies was gratefully received this morning at the Annapolis Winter Market. And I got to actually talk to a friend while sitting in the car in the parking lot as she was standing yards away - a real person! It was quite exciting, I tell you. I would also like to thank all my phone buddies. While emails and Facebook are a good way to connect, it is nice to "talk" to someone.

As we were driving home, it was nice to see the green bits starting and the early daffodils that folks have planted along their property lines. There are dandelions out in the yard and our daffs are getting ready. Speaking of gardening, I heard the rototiller chugging across the backyard heading for the garden. I understand the strawberry plants are being replanted.

Like many others, we are getting a tad shaggy around here. It could be ponytails one of these days. And a pedicure is certainly in order for me.

On the Canadian political front, I must say that our provincial and federal politicians (at least the ones in power) are doing very well and have risen to the occasion, as they say. The opposition bunch is either being badgering just to be badgering or just being stupid. I don't pay them any mind, as my grandmother used to say.

As for the mess to the South, what in Gawd's name can they be thinking. I will only say (out loud anyway), that the reputation of that country is in tatters and will take years to repair. I leave you with a couple of items I saw online over the past days. There are lots more but these ones made me smile in a head-shaking kind of way.

"Just to clarify, the medical term for injecting disinfectants into the body is called embalming."

Onwards!
