Jerry...great idea. That or I can grab a big leaf from my garden!!

I've been ordered to work from home. Some of you know this....some of you don't. But I have a chronic illness. Lupus. Being of a certain age with a compromised immune system, guess I'm in the danger zone. Hoping it stops raining & warms up a bit so I can sit out back with the girls!!

Mayor just closed our libraries. This is all so bizarre.

I remember the blackout babies!! I think we are going to have some really frustrated people. People used to working & not being shut in with their kids!! For weeks. But at least they should be ok for toilet paper!!

I think we will be dealing with this for awhile. China is just now loosening up their shut down. Europe hasn't peaked quite yet. Germany, Italy & France have closed their boarders & rolled up their sidewalks. Now its migrated here. I'm betting its going to be a long few months.

Cold & rainy this week. So much for my planned hen party while I'm stuck at home. Guess I'll teach my coonhound tricks or something. I will have to make a grocery run this week at some point. I'm hoping most of the hoarders have gone to ground.
Anyone else stuck at home? Is it just me?? I'm going to get bored...y'all may get tired of me pontificating.
Fred....your girls were so sweet last night at bedtime. Blossom came up to talk & just stood there while I petted her snood. Her little eyes kept closing. Snood pets must feel good!! And Marigold is still working on her lapper landings. She did send my glasses flying. She's going to give me a black eye with those wing hits. I did get her to finally sit down. I'm going to look like I've been in a brawl! Daisy noticed what was going on & ran her off my lap! Daisy does have supreme lap rights & the other birds know it. Pretty funny.

Anybody holding off hatching due to this. Sounds like swaps & meets are being cancelled. Same with AKC dog shows.
