May the fourth
be with you....stay safe, stay strong....
In this corner it feels like I'm in a pickle, trying to accomplish small things well at some points it is a challenge. So best to make these....
It's a very simple recipe to follow. The mini cucumbers are reasonably priced and in a pinch work great for this small batch. The hardest part is leaving them in the fridge a few days!.
Hand spinning continues. It was nice when this Perfectly Good Wednesday MKAL started on April 22nd (Ravelry). Thus far I'm pleased with the progress on this shawl.
till next time, take care.

so, it's still April
04 20 2020 not an ordinary day, mind you none of our days are ordinary nor normal. So better to make the best of what we've got!
Earlier yesterday morning we did a mini road trip (I know, I know...what about staying at home??) but it was a drop off to deliver grandson two's birthday gift (and birthday's are very important to little boys), home made cookies and some other treats for Vanessa and the boys. From a safe distance we did get a brief chat with our daughter and then it was time to hit the road again. We'd already decided that just saying hi to our grandsons and then leaving would have caused more upsets than needed. Hopefully it will be sooner than later that we can actually visit (fingers crossed).
The drive itself reminded me of 'taking a Sunday drive' of years past....no traffic just local scenery to look at. It was nice but also so strange. And the travelling time door to door one way a mere hour!! The old norm driving was an hour and a half or longer each way.
Today's grocery pickup was a success as most of what I'd ordered was included in the order....including some yeast!!
The mail was delivered shortly after 10 am and that's early for us. The parcel in the box was for
our neighbour so DH delivered it to them. A while later the same neighbour after checking their
mail delivered our parcel in their box to us! The parcel that arrived (quite unexpected) contained wooly goodness....two types of roving!!!
Many thanks to Michelle for your thoughtfulness! (boulderneigh.blogspot.com)

round and round
A new day yet it feels like someone hit the repeat button. Outside sunshine, blue skies and white puffy clouds. And there's a full moon rising tonight!
Indoors one of the beans is finally up. There is no explaining why is did the 'bury yourself' in the dirt and then finally sprouted up in the middle.....so this is middle earth!

back to gentler times
it's Time Life 60's love songs on tv, we were much younger then and worries, well they were nothing as compared to today's world. So yes, I have somewhat dated myself but that's ok.
The old songs are a reason to smile. These days we need reasons to smile.
So how are you doing with staying at home? What are you doing to keep busy?
take care

behind the patio hedge
life goes on at a slower place. Finding new ways for every day routines. well it is interesting especially when everything is at home. No more 'we're out of....' and just go to the store.
In this corner of the world it is the start of spring. The extra hours of daylight are a bonus. I've been planting seeds indoors for this year's patio garden.
We missed our weekly family lunch with our daughter and grandsons. They're safely at home. Maybe we should plan a video chat lunch date.
remember...keep your distance, stay safe and healthy!
