Hello from the soggy wet foothills! We're still getting a
lot of rain, but it sure beats none.

So, we heard there were major protests in China with all kinds of people on the streets protesting. Remember that? The next thing we heard a lot of the protesters are unaccounted for then we heard a novel virus killed most of them. Hmmm, that sounds a bit suspect to me. Then our own "trusty" media started blaming the president for the virus, lol, while simultaneously blasting fear into every household that doesn't yet realize their "news" may not be exactly trustworthy. (This might be a good time to turn off the TV. ) Tell me, does anyone know anyone who truly has the virus? I don't. In fact I don't know anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone that has it. And I refuse to buy more of anything than I normally would at the grocery store. Besides that we have a promise as such that should give us peace. Psalm 136, the whole chapter is amazing, but verse 25 in particular should be a comfort to us just now. It is to me, anyways.

| So, you finally decided to bloom. lol |
We have to remember that thousands die of the flu every year in nearly every state in the country. And while we don't like that, yet it is a part of life. So, I hope we'll just calm down out there and think about something besides clearing out our grocery stores. Planning our gardens or reading a good book might be the best way to get through all the craziness going on right now.
This bird bottle has been hanging on the eastward side of our back deck for many years but has yet to be home to a single bird.
You can imagine my surprise when I noticed it has a nest in it. I'm not sure which bird made the nest, but I'm looking forward to finding out. There are no eggs yet, but I'll keep watching.
Have a GREAT week y'all!
Hello, Hubby and I are usually homebodies, we can take walks locally to get outside for fresh air. We always shop with a list and stick to the shop list. We may buy some extra dark chocolate.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty flowers and the nesting bottle. Take care and stay well. Have a great day and week ahead.
Thank you, Eileen. I'm with you on the chocolate, especially dark. It's indispensable.
DeleteI hope the stores do not run out of the dark chocolate! Take care and enjoy your day!
DeleteI agree with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lydia. I appreciate that.
DeleteHow exciting about the nest! Your posts are always uplifting

Hi Kerrie! I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Thank you for letting me know. .
DeleteI just love getting your posts! Thank you so much for being so positive. I share your thoughts exactly! When our bishop shut all parishes in our area, no Mass, no anything, that was the limit for me. Husband and I are homebodies and sheltering at home. Not afraid!! Loving your positivity. Thank you so very much. Michelle
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michelle! Our services are cancelled for the weekend, too. Seems to me we need them even more right now, but they didn't bother to consult with me about it. (Of course, they wouldn't anyway. LOL) Thank you for leaving me a comment.
DeleteHello! Always good to stop by. I love what you shared here...I too am not really buying into this whole virus thing...
ReplyDeleteIt's come to South Africa now, apparently, and everyone is fearful and already on lockdown in their homes. Like you, we are simply carrying on with normal life...we stay home a lot anyway as we love pottering about with the various things we have on the go.
Happy Spring! Blessings and love!
Nothing like this is new to our Lord...He knows all about it and I put my trust in Him! Stay safe and healthy!
ReplyDeleteVery nice post :) I hope this virus passes fast.
ReplyDeleteLovely nest :)
