Day 45

April 30, 2020

I think my count is off on the days of isolation. I may have to go back and fix something or maybe I won't bother.

It's another sad day here in Nova Scotia. The layers of sadness just keep building up - the poor families who have lost members to COVID-19; all those families and community folks who lost friends and relatives to unspeakable and un-understandable violence and now the RCAF and RCN people who were killed in the helicopter accident in the Ionian Sea while on a training mission. While I understand people die in accidents and violence every day, these times just seem heavier and harder.

The hummingbird feeders went out today. The hummingbird map says that there were 3 sightings across the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick and one of them was yesterday. So, although they are usually here a little later, I thought it would be good to be ready.

I have joined a research group which is looking into how people are reacting to the COVID-19 isolation and so on. It was a pretty comprehensive questionnaire. I will be interested to see the results. I believe that if this study will help with any future pandemics, it's worth my time (as if I have anything else).

I leave you with a photo of pear tree blossoms. These are forced - the branches were brought inside and put in a vase. They are quite delicate and bring a smile. We can all use one of those these days.

Onwards!
