Funny thing, the stay at home orders for the globe has probably done more to heal the planet than anything else we have done at any time. I mean keep recycling and your carbon footprint as small as you can, however it is nice to know that we are not so far gone that our planet can recover from our silliness.
This year we celebrate the bee and all it does for our planet. I plant flowers that bees like to help them. Today’s Google Doodle has lots of information about bees and it is very soothing to watch.
We had a freeze warning for last night and it did go below freezing. It was still very nippy this morning, but it should warm up this afternoon. The wind will determine how comfortable it will be outside today.
Yesterday was a series of ups and downs with a big downer at the end of the day that makes life that much more difficult. This morning is re-group and try to figure out how we are going to get through this.
And that is what a majority of Americans are going through right now. The stability that existed before the virus is gone. People are trying to navigate the unemployment system only to find all kinds of roadblocks to money that they are counting on. The small business loans are both a fiasco and a joke since large publicly traded companies got most of the money by claiming each location is one business so they could apply for the funds.
I had fun yesterday with my Coffee Break with Shakespeare Approves. We played with puppets and told stories. I will post when it is up on his site. It is things like this that helps mentally.
Today I have to stock the larder. I have pushed the envelope as far as I can so I need to go out in the world and get stuff along with a few errands.
Then I am going to clean up from mask making and pull out the puppets that are half-way done and get them to all the way done while doing laundry.
Caroline is dealing with feast or famine for her schoolwork. She either has an insane amount of work to do or next to nothing. I really wish that the teachers would communicate with each other or at least have a master board showing how much is being assigned each day. Today is an insane day that would not have been assigned if she had been in school.
The winds knocked a lot of tree parts all over the yard which have to be dealt with. Nothing really big but a lot of little stuff. The property that touches the back of our yard had two trees fall to either side of their tool shed. They are feeling lucky right now.
So that’s what is happening here. How you?
I am grateful for the planet Earth.
