Yesterday morning brought an amazing sunrise.
The start of a very warm day. We were out by mid-morning to
drive a friend to the airport and able to leave jackets at home.
Today is much different, awoke to thick fog, but there's a promise of
some sunshine around noon and 75F so warm again.
March is such a fickle month, and this year with all that's happening
due to the Corona virus, this March is particularly unnerving!
A few store stops on the way home yesterday found me somewhat nervous - for
the first time I did not feel really safe shopping!
The LADIES room in Target, although empty and spotlessly clean, found me
perhaps overly cautious regarding hand washing and then having to touch things
again - such as the drier and exit door. Noting the long store shelves totally devoid
of anything antibacterial felt strange. I haven't stock-piled anything yet! Now, after
yesterday's official pandemic news, and the huge changes regarding international
travel, even cancelations of all the St. Patrick's Day parades (we have a huge
one here and always attend), I'm feeling life is changing quickly.
We must all be alert and careful, especially those of us who are elderly and
have compromised immune systems.
I realize 'gloom and doom' is not a good way to think, negativity doesn't get
you anywhere. . . . . . but blowing caution to the wind is perhaps not sensible
in the current atmosphere.
So, for me, the house and garden will become my 'Staycation' location!
I have plenty to fill my hours and keep me busy here! My thoughts go out
to several dear friends who are having to cancel overseas travel plans,
hopefully they will still be able to take those long awaited trips later.
Take care dear friends and readers.
