No Big Changes

Still under lockdown. The governor is going against the legislature and things are about to get nasty in Lansing.

Hal, the dogs and I are fine. I went grocery shopping today in Lincoln for the first time in  4 weeks, hope to avoid shopping for another 4. Picked up some essentials like potatoes, beer, wine, chips, dip. The diet as they say is history.

Finally warming up this weekend into the mid 60s then back below normal into the low 50s next week. I've planted potatoes, and snow peas so far both in BC and Spruce.

Everything is pretty depressing around here,  been getting takeout every weekend from our favorite Italian restaurant, Rosa's but when I was there last Saturday I was the only one picking up and owner was the only one there. I'm not sure if she'll make it if they don't reopen the state soon. A lot of businesses up here (where the virus isn't that prevalent) are going to fail if they haven't already.

Hal lost a second cousin to this last week, she was downstate in the Dearborn area, only 27, we don't have a lot of interaction with that part of the family so we don't know whether she had any other health concerns, pretty lousy though.

So, here's to the end of a lousy April. Here are more dog photos.

Ziggy and Kaylee

Just a few shots of my friendly pups being themselves. Kaylee is especially friendly to neighbor John.

The pond is probably closer to completely open today.

 Look mom, I found mud!
Yesterday Kaylee discovered the pond is thawing

 Snowball chasing isn't as fun any more.
