Pandemic Journal - Day 37

We have two cows down, one who lost a calf (stillborn), and another that hurt her foot. We must watch the mamma cow for mastitis. She and other are in the barn lot where we can keep a close check on them.

The turkeys have been strutting a lot in the fields. Mating time.

My husband continues to move forward with his retirement. He signs the final paperwork today. Hopefully it will all work out, but in these days of unknowns, well - who knows?

Spring has come and is quickly heading towards summer. The trees are greening up with amazing speed. They are almost nearly leafed out, bedecked in green finery that will last for a while.

A few cold nights slowed the grass growth a bit. A little frost won't hurt it, though I do worry about the fruit tree growers nearby. Perhaps it didn't hurt them if the cold was nearer to the ground.

We have all we need so far. We are staying away from people as much as possible, aside from grocery shopping. We've cut that back to about every 7 to 10 days. If the stores are out of things we normally eat, we either substitute or do without.

My niece wrecked her vehicle over the weekend. I haven't spoken to her and only learned of it this morning from my brother. He said she is fine though the vehicle did not fair so well.

I still watch Melissa Etheridge in concert every night. We have also added Tommy Emmanuel's concerts on Friday night to our watch list. My guitar doesn't have all the notes those two can play!

The numbers have stayed steady in our county so far as the Covid-45 continues to keep things shut down and the economy in flux. However, the nearby city is rising, creeping upward, and that is worrisome. We're not that far away and sometimes you have to go into the city for things you need.

All in all, so far so good.

Thumbs up!
