Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Well, we got some tomatoes planted in the ground yesterday. I was also able to move a bunch of my zinnias out of the greenhouse and into the ground. Now I've got to figure a way to get rid of our ground squirrel population.:barnie
only thing that worked for us was the box trap DH originally built to trap a weasel under our porch. they couldn't stay out of it.
 
I'm not concerned about myself. I have been so heavily monitored, tracked and proactively worked on my immune system by my oncologist and PCP over the past 10+ yrs that I could probably go sit in the middle of a mob of kindergartners and not pick up a head cold! :cool: BUT, I'm 11 years younger than my sweetheart who turns 81 on Saturday. Tho he is basically healthier (on paper anyway) than I am, I am not about to knowingly do anything that might put him (or anyone else) at risk. I do not feel I have the right to act that selfishly and if I chose to do so I would surely be held to account for it here on earth, and, after if any one person suffered for it.

This is how I feel, too I am not afraid of death itself. (The dying process, yes - fear of the unknown.) But I have parents that are high risk. My DH at 65 is 9 years older than me and has finally recovered from whatever respiratory thing he had a month or so ago. I don’t want to risk getting them sick for several reasons. I don’t want any of them to suffer, for one. And selfishly, I don’t want to live with the pain of being without any of them. I know that time will come, but I don’t want to rush it!
 
We are in the midst of our first thunderstorm (albeit very tame) of the spring. The first good rumble of thunder set off a stampede thru the house consisting of Sammy the rescue kitty and my geriatric Teddy Bear (Bichon/Shitzu) dog Angel. I swear if I could understand what all their noise meant I'm sure it would go something like, "Run!!! We're all going to die!!!" :lau
Now I have to go put all the rugs back where they belong.

me too :hugs
 
Ruled by fear? Foolishness and/or denial ? NOPE. A good solid dose of common sense and using the brains the Good Lord gave you? Definitely YES.
You don't fear the bonfire you're watching but that doesn't mean it's then ok to walk into it.
:lau

Great analogy!
