I keep getting behind on my blog post with no excuse at all in these trying times. And I remind myself repeatedly that I need to be blogging each day because this is a historic time in the history of this country. With the continuous spread of the Covid-19 virus and more bad news day after day it is imperative that I document this time in our family for the future generations to read about.
Hubbie and I got some house work done this morning and then daughter and d-in-love came up to have lunch here with us and the kids.
The girls enjoyed getting to play with each other for the afternoon while both daughter and d-in-love worked from home on school work.
After they left hubbie and I got into our old door stash in the barn and found covers for all the raised beds that have vegetables growing in them since the temperature is headed into the 30's overnight.
At times like these I am glad we hang on to old things that appear to have to use anymore. We got everything covered up and got chores done in a still misty rain that only left 2/10ths inch in the gauge for the day.
We came inside and I did paperwork and paid bills for the week.
Daughter got the unsettling news this evening that a teacher at the school she teaches at had tested positive for the covid virus. Thankfully it has been 2 weeks since she was at the school and she hasn't had any symptoms so we feel we dodged a bullet in her insisting that they left her teach from home.
Our county schools are the only school that we know of that didn't have all teachers stay home and teach. Instead they told the teachers and staff unless they had under school age children or under lying health conditions they had to be at work from 8-3 everyday. Hopefully after this scare they will join all other counties in trying to keep their teachers and staff safe.
Hubbie and I spent the evening relaxing in the warmth of a woodstove fire once again.
Happy 7th birthday to this sweet girl who won't get to have a party but will still get lots of presents. Happy Birthday EL we love you so much and you are growing up way to fast.
Saying good-bye to March like I said isn't hard and this month seemed to last longer than usual but what is coming in April probably will make that month seem much longer.
The officials are warning now that the virus may peak in a couple weeks but during that couple weeks and maybe more there is going to be so much sickness and death that it will be like nothing we have ever seen.
The stay at home orders aren't working as well as they had hoped and a lot of folks are still not taking this seriously.
God is our only light in the darkness of this world right now and I am so glad He is holding my fate in His wonderful hands.
I am so thankful for the blessings He sends my way each and everyday.
God Bless and Good Night
