Quarantine...........

This is going to be week six of the quarantine.......for us it's been easy enough really. We don't see a lot of people anyway. I have cleaned the bedrooms and upstairs bathrooms, sorted and tidied through the house. Worked on my Family history and still not run out of things to do. It has also made me lazy. I don't think I have sat around so much in my life. We did manage a few days start on the garden tidy up. The leaves that had been raked to the curb seem to have snuck back into the garden though. It's been cold, it's snowed, it's rained and then the wind picked up. Seems like its going to be a slow start this year. Just as well as we can't go to the garden centers anyway. I need a truck load of wood chips. Other than that it's not time for flowers yet. I don't know why everyone is complaining about the order to stay home. They just don't want to be told what to do, that's it right there. With so many people dying from this virus you would think they would want to keep their families safe, but no, their "rights" are being infringed on.
Well, we did sneak out for a drive one day, it was wonderful. First though, a look around the garden, my Crow came down for bread....




Then today the Robins were about






The governor says we can go for hikes, and walks about the neighbourhood, walk dogs etc. Well we have avoided travel or contact of any kind but this day we got out for a drive. There were so many people who were completely ignoring the stay at home and avoid contact that the National parks just closed down. I don't blame them. Well we didn't go for a walk but did stop to take some pictures. No people around, it was wonderful. Gas is 1.69 so may as well take advantage. Use gloves to pump gas.







We went on the back roads, no traffic. Not much to see either but we made our way to Leland to check on Fishtown. It was windy and cold, nothing going on, construction as with everything else is at a standstill.




We had not intended staying out long but did stop to check on the Sand Hill Cranes.





There are two couples again, and one odd one that I take is the baby from last year looking for a mate. The Canada Geese are there again too. They hang out together and nest in the same area. The Beavers have flooded a good area and I assume good feeding now for water fowl.I couldn't capture the colour of the water because we were not allowed on the beach but got a glimpse of it through the trees. Wish I could have got a good picture we have never seen such a brilliant turquoise as this day.








well it was a short trip, no deer, nothing much to see but a breath of fresh air and some beautiful birds. Enough to keep us going till next time.
