Good morning!
Thank you for getting us started, Laura! Nice quote for the holiday
.
We're having another periodically rainy day - yesterday Gus and I walked in the rain. It was actually kind of nice and peaceful - not a rough downpour, but just a slow drip when we were walking. I've been using my cane for the last two days of walking - not fun to have such a painful hip that I can't walk well, but Gus has been very good accommodating that. I don't wear a mask when walking Gus in the park.
Dede, on top of redness from heat, I'm sure I'll get a mask face sunburn also
. I don't wear the mask on my walks with Gus as we're usually very far apart and sparse outside, but I do some work at WRC outside in the sunshine while wearing the mask. No, no neighbors came over asking about cheeseburgers - on one side I have very professional BBQers that could be chefs, on the other side young men that used to be students and now somewhat working if they can these days. The pros would laugh at my flames and smoke
. I'm still enjoying these cheeseburgers with a nice cold beer
.
Paula, we don't really have a rainy season - it rains pretty much all year (snow in winter) - not like in the West with a rainy season, followed by a dry season. I did notice on FB that Chrys from Utah (used to post in this group) had snow yesterday
. Our state has really expanded their testing for Covid-19, so lots more positives showing up, unfortunately daily death rates are the highest now also
. We had a lot of PPE for our health care workers coming that our state bought, but the feds took it away
. For face masks, I'm using sewn cloth ones donated to the WRC - one is lots hotter than the other, but I appreciate having them! I wash them in my laundry every week.
Laura, we do have some fair vendors selling their foods now from their home driveways or at some small get-togethers. I don't know if the grounds would be open to have a drive by pickup - if they do it on the big street to the fair, I cringe at the traffic issues! Our State Fair is usually at the end of August through Labor Day - saw that the dates have already been changed on the gate to 2021 dates. We have a Renaissance Fair going at the same time - I think that's still on, as far as their current advertising - it was nice to go there during the State Fair as the crowds were a lot less. Frankly, I don't know if I'll go there this year even if I wear a mask...
Waves to all (from >6 feet apart)!
