Once
again I managed to get carried away with my early morning Blog
reading
and didn’t get to bed until nearly 2:00 this morning. I slept like
a rock but was awake for the day before 8:00. That’s the part I
don’t get. If I get to bed early I sleep late. If I get to bed late
I wake up early. After getting things ready for breakfast I had
already been on the Computer checking things out before Kathy joined
me for breakfast. It
was strange that she also got to bed as soon as the 11
o’clock Local News
was over last
night
and she slept past 9:00. It must be contagious.
After
getting our morning chores finished early we discussed what we
planned to do today before spending
the rest of the morning on our Computers.
Kathy
sent a Facebook
Birthday Wish
to our daughter-in-law Melissa this morning.
For
lunch we had Baked
Beans
on
Toast
topped
off with a dessert plate.
Kathy
busied herself replanting
another Plant
we were given on Fathers
Day.
One of the reasons she puts them in larger pots is not so much that
they will grow bigger but to put them in Soil.
When you get plants most have been started in a Mulch
Base
and have little in the way of nutrients to thrive on. Soil
will
give the plants the nutrients they need to continue to flourish.
I
forgot to bring the Wrench
and
Bicycle Pedal in
from the Car
last
night so I went out and retrieved them. While Kathy worked on the
Plants
I replaced both Folding
Pedals on
our Tandem
Bicycle out
on the Balcony.
Kathy
was replanting
the Christmas
Cactus Flower
we got last November by
the time I finished the Bike
and
was just getting ready to exercise
and
found that we didn’t have quite enough Potting
Soil
to
finish the task.
We
were just about to make a quick run to take care of that when our
daughter Karen called inviting us to visit on their Deck.
When
we
mentioned about our quick errand she asked if we could look for
Sunflower
Seeds
for her.
We
headed over to Home
Depot where
we had gotten the last bag
of Potting
Soil.
It didn’t take long to find that and
the Miracle
Grow
to add as Vitamins
for the plants but they said we should have gotten the Seeds
at the beginning of the season.
Heading
towards Karen’s we stopped at Walmart
to check for the Seeds
and
were told the same thing about getting them at the beginning of the
season.
Back
on the road again heading towards Karen’s I
made a quick turn into Canadian
Tire.
They always carried Seeds
in
the past and
they had a Garden
Center so
it was worth a try. I dropped Kathy at the door before parking the
Car
then
meeting
her in their Gardening
Section.
There were tons of Seeds
but eventually we found what Karen had asked for.
When
we arrived at Karen’s house in Tecumseh
we immediately went in the backyard to the Deck.
The only one there to greet us was Sanford as Karen was downstairs
folding laundry while Greg was
in
the kitchen getting some Salmon
ready to be
smoked.
Soon we were visiting and talking about work.
Since
Greg is Skilled
Trades
at the Chrysler
Mini
Van Plant
he is back in the Plant
and is required to wear a Mask,
Safety
Glasses
and Gloves
to
protect himself and others from the Coronavirus.
Karen
works for the University
Of Windsor
and is presently working from home. At this point it doesn’t look
like she’ll be returning to the University
Office anytime
this year.
It
was a fun visit but we headed for home around 5:00. Kathy reminded me
we hadn’t taken anything out of the Freezer
for supper. Wanting something different we went to KFC
and ordered a couple of Chicken
Zingers.
They are large sized Chicken
Wraps
with a little spice to them. Quite tasty we would have them again.
Since
they were in the same Shopping
Plaza
we went to the
Tecumseh Dollarama.
We found another Flowerpot
that
we were looking for but surprisingly they didn’t carry
Bread at
this location.
Our
6
o’clock Local News was
again preempted by a Golf
Tournament.
I thought these were replays but the Caddies
were wearing Masks
and the Players
were alone with the Caddies
so this was “Live”.
Shortly
before 7:00 Kathy got a Message
for Sue saying that she and Jack would meet me downstairs with more
Masks
that
she made for us to keep Safe.
We
watched The
Good Witch
then the 11
o’clock Local News.
The total Coronavirus
Cases
among the Migrant
Farm Workers
in our area
Doubled
just today.
Tomorrow
we have Calls
to
make, Errands
to run and Chores
to do. We’ll see how that works out. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

It has always boggled my mind how much stuff one can find at "Canadian Tire" when you would surmise that it only carries tires!
ReplyDeleteThis evening I saw where Andres Manuel López Obrador...the President of Mexico...did did not allow a couple of thousands of seasonal workers to leave for Canada after three Mexican migrant workers died in Canada recently.
There were talks with Quebec officials regarding their safety and how they should be provided with protective gear as none of the deceased had Coronavirus before their departure. After everything was ironed out the flight was finally allowed to leave Mexico City bound for Canada.
Anytime you are in a congregate setting such as a nursing home, jail, detention center, meat packing factory, or migrant camps you will see a rapid propagation of the disease.
There's so much more testing, I'm not surprised at the increase in cases. As far as I am aware, Mexico isn't doing much to stop it. I wouldn't be surprised if many really DID have the virus before they left Mexico. Hoping it starts it's down curve soon.
ReplyDeleteThis stupid virus has disrupted everyone's lives. I would think in a migrant camp it would spread very quickly. But I'm sure your farmers like ours here in the States are totally dependent on migrant workers to get the crops picked. So very sad.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why healthy people get tested? Only runs the numbers up which is what the government wants. Sounds like a nice visit with Karen and Greg..of course Sanford was thrilled to see you!
