The vines are getting pruned under blue skies right now. The short black gravel road belongs to the Artsy Organized Neighbor.
I can see the pruning effort ramping up out back in recent days. There have been three or four people out there for a couple of weeks, but yesterday one of the larger crews, about five more people, joined in. They must have been deployed elsewhere until yesterday.
Ken is experimenting with online grocery shopping. Both our local supermarkets offer the service, but we've never tried it. We're not ready to place an order yet, but he's looking at how it works, which products are available, and is starting to create a virtual shopping list.
And lastly, a sure sign of spring: we both heard the first cuckoo of the season in our tall fir tree on Thursday morning.
As I mentioned already, followed your blog... An I'm already back! :)
ReplyDeleteThe vines look really good. Love the photo you shared. A LOT! ^.^
Another stunning photo, Walt (the Fourth). We had some rain the other day but now have mostly dreary skies. Nice to see you enjoying sunshine.
ReplyDeleteSunny days make such a difference in one’s life!
ReplyDeleteJust the kind of road I would expect from your AON. ;)
That's sad about the Open being postponed until September. Our daughter uses online pick up shopping a lot, but it didn't work when this virus problem arrived- so much hoarding. Things are settling down now and we have a new routine of staying home to stay safe. There is a new house going up down the street that is fun to watch. The beaches are closed so Spring Break is a bust this year.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you guys -- glad you're out in the countryside, and away from the congested city.

I've been in since last weekend, but I will need to go shopping tomorrow. There have been problems here, too, with the drive-up and pick up shopping. The sites have gone down with so many people trying to use them. My plan will be to get up early and go before I eat breakfast (6 am - if I wake up!).
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in the Midwest there was nothing so euphoric as the first signs of spring. What an intoxicating feeling it was.
ReplyDeletehot guys, thanks!
ReplyDeletemitch, as usual, it didn't last. We're overcast this morning, but no rain predicted!
bettyann, he's quite fastidious!
evelyn, our local Super U was overwhelmed this first week of confinement, but it seems to be back, so we're hopeful that the online service will work next week.
judy, us too!
mary, good luck!
michael, the return of nice weather is always welcome!
