Remember this picture when you take more than you need..what happened to watch out for the elders

[lupinelady]

Good morning everyone- wow cal- I hope missy will be okay. Let us know when she gets tests results. When is the last time you had contact with her in person? Rainy yucky weather for you. 42 here but no rain until late then tomorrow.

I got bertha all washed up and she looks good. I also filled her tank- gas at $1.92. So amazing. I don't think it can go any lower. Well- at least I have a full tank to go to the city today.

I haven't quite decided what my strategy today will be. The last 2 times I stayed with my sil all day. I left for lunch and to walk around when I got sleepy. Lots of people in the hospital even though the infusion center is by itself and not in the main traffic area. I spent time in the cafeteria and in different waiting areas to break up the time. Hubby suggested sitting in bertha. I'll see I guess. The first time we were there all day we were in a room with just us, whereas the last time we were in a common area with 4 foot walls separating up to 10 or 12 patients. It was hard for us to talk there because sil is hard of hearing and the noise level not good.

So fun to see Ted out and about. I think he was smelling the air to see if humans with peanuts might be on the way. He sure is a bight spot in my day.  We've been seeing a yellow shafted flicker for the last 2 days. We have seen it in years past- doesn't stay- migrating through.

Have I great day jewelies!

hi lupe i forgot to say how great today pictures are in the update yes ted a very bright spot i believe the boy is ready for food feed that boy!! picture of the ravens and eagles wow gulls too dr rogers should put out a picture book. everything will be running good for him and the bears just know people coming to the bear center so hoping like everyone else this stuff gets out of here. missy just called me and she is feeling alot better in the hospital her test not back yet but she is better she said she started puking non stop and called 911 she could not breath either but can now her youngest is 15 at home and is fine i asked her if she needed dog cat food i would go over and leave it linds stay inside till i left but miss she stocked up on that then i asked if lind needed food no lots of it too. i have not seen her since months before this stuff happened we were going to lunch then she got sick she gets sick alot. i am not worried about ynw with her. she told pete she has a fever having troubles breathing he did not send her home so i hope she does not have cause all them there and lots of them work there will be sick too maybe. this kind of stuff is what keeps it spreading no matter how hard to try to make people stay in. oh griz that is a long day for you and sil and have to be so careful now lupe no one can go see miss they dont want visitors in that hospital period now so you be careful too. cool you saw that flicker i have been seeing a few downy woodpeckers. got to go tons of stuff to finish

Hi Jewelies!  Going up in the 80's today and almost 90 tomorrow!  Too hot!!  I woke up at 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep, so I took a shower and was the first in line at the grocery store when they opened.  Still no bread, so I got french bread from the bakery.  They had lots of milk, eggs, sugar, frozen chicken breasts, and even ground beef.  I was glad I was able to go so early, because I know it won't take long for everything to get cleaned out again.

The coolest thing happened Wednesday!  My daughter told me I was going to have a lot of traffic on my road around 5pm, so I was out there waiting to see why.  It was a parade of elementary school teachers in their cars, riding by their students homes.  There was a lot of smiling, waving, and honking!!  lol  My son-in-law's sister works at that school, so I got to see her with her kids.  The school is quite close to my house and kids live near me that go there.  I thought it was nice for the kids to see their teachers.

cal... Sure hope Missy gets a negative on her test results.  Sure is a scary thing when she couldn't breathe and had a fever, too.  You're exactly right... that's how the virus is spread.  That picture from Cousin Janice is so sad.  I wish people would realize what they're doing to other people when they hoard.  I have what I think is a pileated woodpecker that hangs out on my pecan tree.  He stays pretty busy!   

lupine... Hope you have a good day today... I know it will be long for you, especially now.

joho... Do you have any idea why there isn't any corn at snowman's place?  Seems strange to me...

Hi to everyone!  Hope you all have a nice day!

[calihoula]

hi ra ! wow so cool parade and that pileated woody! i have never seen one except pictures! wow miss mom so upset miss said some disease dr coming to see her she told me they had her on ice for 3 hours when she came in to bring her fever down ykw in her town she told pete she had a fever so all of them may get sick too pete is a senior too. yay you got reloaded! pays to go early! too hot where you are my ac would be on and in the barn too making my mice a white cake in the oven

Blacklist tonight, Jewelies!

[ruesgram]

Hi Jewelies! There's been another positive in our county. That makes 2 now. They say the 1st one is doing well and may be released from the hospital soon. The county next to us on our southern border has 7 confirmed! That county is a small mostly rural farming county with a total population of 29,000 people! My city alone has 11,000 and Parkersburg, right next to us, has 33,000. I'm wondering if maybe it might be a family that all got sick.   Then this morning there was breaking news that a 73 year old man had died in a nursing home near Morgantown of the virus! Later in the day there was another news update that he did not die! What the heck? I'm glad he didn't die but who's is charge around here? 

Cal, hope Missy is ok. That's really scary. Hope she feels better soon and that she tests negative. No visitors are allowed in our local hospital. I heard today that may include daddies  in the delivery room, too. Sad pic from cousin Janice. :'(  Our Walmart is out of toilet paper every time I go there. Today most of their shelves were full of stuff except tp! Even had cereal! Still didn't have Walmart's whole wheat bread though. Ralph, the bread man, said they are now at full production and he should have all the Walmart breads next week.

Lupe, my sis stopped by yesterday. She had a bag full of naked lady plants! A friend had thinned hers out and gave sis a bunch of them. So she shared with me...10 bulbs. It rained here almost all day so I didn't get them planted. Hope to do that tomorrow.  The green leaves on them are about the same size as my own plants about  4 inches long.  Hoping they will bloom this year. Hope the day went well for your sil.

Ra, how cool that the teachers did that! A local teacher here did something similar. She drove by each of her students houses waving and telling them how much she loved and missed them. Her students were 1st graders. I think that is so sweet.  Temps were up to 77 yesterday but today only in the 60's because of all the rain. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 82! Amazing. I can't believe how all the trees are blooming now. Hope Mother Nature doesn't trick us and bring winter back! Yay, Blacklist tonight!

Jo, I noticed the face masks but I didn't notice the gloves! Lol!

Have a nice evening and stay safe!

Hi Ev1,   Joan and I are OK, but tired of being cooped up.
Ra,   No deer feeding ordered by MI DNR after they found some sick deer.  This is to prevent spreading Chronic Wasting Disease in MI deer herd.  A lot of residents do not agree with the ban, and continue to feed wildlife.  They claim they are feeding birds.  Which is still legal.
Deer naturally herd up in the Winter.  So I have mixed feelings about the feeding ban.  CWD is a cruel and hideous death.  I would not feed.

With staff clearing a path to Holly?s and Lucky?s bunker dens, Ted and Holly thought something good might be up and came out. Holly

Taught caught about 7 minutes of Holly in action. Watching the video, I thought she?d check on Lucky, but I was wrong. She got as far as the open door to his pen and did not go a step farther. Mink Streak

Then it was back to her den to let more snow melt on this 51-degree day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhqg2En0ySk

 At the WRI cabin, excitement started with the woodchuck appearing in a snow free area where the sun bounces off the cabin and melts the snow early. He (?) was about to take part in a taste test. Would he eat blades of green grass like are shown in the top left corner of the picture, or would he want broccoli, pineapple, and/or a tomato? Broccoli by a landslide! The pineapple piece got a nibble. The tomato got a sniff. Grass was old hat or not as good as broccoli. He got a drink from a melt-water puddle and went to his hole in the snow. At the hole (lower right hand corner of the picture with snow), he paused. Something made him go a few feet farther and look over the mound of snow. I clicked and thought that was it. He caught me unprepared when he came racing back past his hole with a bigger woodchuck 15 feet behind him. They disappeared, so I don?t know the outcome except that later the smaller woodchuck looked unconcerned. It is mating season for woodchucks, but I don?t know enough to say what was happening.

The next excitement was a mink, Streak was nice to stand at attention for identification while another mink was running away up the driveway. Mink are generally not social with each other.

Thank you for all you do.

Good morning everyone- 50 here and off and on stormy. I got woken up at 2:30- thunder and much lightening. The good news is- Duke is here!!!YAY!! He came a day earlier than I expected. So we both got up. He wanted to go outside but after I opened the door he wouldn't get off the porch. So I waited until there was a lull in the rain and got him out. Had to lift him off the porch and put him in the grass but he did pee then.

It was good to read all the posts this morning. johoward- we have had that chronic wasting disease in the deer here also. Terrible stuff- the theory is to keep the deer away from each other by not making feed stations available I guess. The other day when hubby went to the local hardware store I thought about you guys. I think you posted a one time about a similar store.

cal- so glad missy is better and not ykw.  I was really aware yesterday at the hospital with my sil. I talked with the nurses in the infusion center and found out they are treating ykw patients in the hospital. They are on a wing on a floor that has only one entrance/exit. They even rigged the elevator that the public uses so that it can't stop on that wing.

The cafeteria in the hospital was opened and they do have good food at a reasonable price but I decided to go out to eat. I drove to a Culver's. They had the drive thru open. I got lunch and drove back to the hospital and ate lunch in bertha In the parking garage.Besides the health personnel administering the chemo- we practiced social distancing with maybe 5 people all day. People are staying home- the roads were deserted- we left the hospital at 5:30 and on a normal day there would be at least some traffic- rush hour. Yesterday nothing.

sil did well again but it was a long day- we left at 7:15 AM and got home at 6:30 PM. It didn't seem quite so bad because we stay positive and talk a lot. We had a private room so it was easier to communicate.

rues- yay for naked lady plants. I see that I have a few that need thinning also. Next week is set to be warmer and dry so I might get that done.
ra- your parade sounds fun. Wednesday at 7 PM our local fire department opened the doors on all the trucks and turned on the lights. Then they drove around town and asked people to turn on their porch lights to join in. I happened to be outside getting my bird feeders in and could hear all the horns honking. Just a reminder that we are all in this together!

Have a great day jewelies!
