What a day...yesterday

We are so fortunate to have warm temps and sunshine while we are trying to remain safe at home. Alan's mall is closed as are the others but as Security Director, he and his staff still report to work on cut back shifts. Lisa is still on full staff at the market and dealing with nice people as well as the crazies. They have installed the plexi-glass partitions at her store already. Meantime, around here we keep it as normal as we can. Normal?! This place is anything but normal! At times it is a 4 ring circus.
Yesterday morning I opened my slider to let Murphy out into the garden while I was making my bed. He did not make it through the lanai when I heard his cries yelps for help. I dash out and question why he let his toy into the corner behind the chair. As I pull him aside....."Lisa Lisa" I yelped called out. to which I called again "I need you". Out she runs thgrogh the kitchen to the slider where I toss Murphy into her arms. I explained

A baby...I do mean baby of about 4 inches long (and no tail yet) was in the lanai. Murphy got put into my bedroom and all doors including the slider shut.

How to catch this baby? Lisa got a box from recycle and I got the broom and we carefully got him into the box. He was so scared. His tiny ears trembled and Lisa was cooing to him. Then the question flowed out of her mouth..."can we keep him, I want to keep him, what can we feed him"! NO NO we are not keeping him! So, finally after she had her chat with him we let him go into the large cactus are where I know many bunnies live. Excitement over back to home business. Amazon delivered my paraffin was for my hand bath. Good I though I will get it cleaned and refilled. Once the top layer of was melted I peeled it off and found a box in the recycle bin. What, are you saying oh no... yep, just as I finished pouring the almost hot wax into it there was a puddle under the box all over the top of the dryer. "Lisa, Lisa" once again I called she came running and together we managed to get the dripping box...dripping on her bare toes....into a trash container.  As soon as it firmed up I then began to scrap the wax into the trash bin. Lisa was thankful to now go to work! So there you have a normal day at the abode. Murphy continued to check around the lanai for the lost bunny and I settled to a cat nap.
Today will hopefully be a quiet day. I have an idea for the bathroom window bottom half. I love my dangling flowers  at the top. Time for coffee....Glad to share my yesterday with you. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Yoo-hoo

… no, not the drink, you out there. Well how is everyone holding up? These are days of questioning...when will this be over? Days of worrying each time out if someone is near who might spread it. I must admit that I am not obsessed, but I am being more careful. The times out are for meds or food. Speaking of food.... I am not a food hoarder. If you are, please stop so the rest of us who are just buying food for the week can get what we need. I went to bake shortbread cookies last week and do not have enough flour. I usually buy as I need.... I have some just not what the recipe needs. The stores are out of flour and sugar and salt.... and do not get me started on toilet paper. There are 3 adults here.... need I say more.  Okay my rant is over for now.
The garden project is coming along nicely. We did have rain last week.

We have a pot of assorted pansy's for a real splash of color.
Alan is doing a great job. Today he will need to repair a control valve and then the irrigation is fixed. Top soil is next to be added to the garden and then fencing. The kitchen garden is all set except for adding basil and a summer tomato plant. Yesterday Alan painted the wall and of course as soon as he was finished, Murphy got into the area and of course there was paint on his side, tail and leg and not all on one side. No, no time for a picture as I had to get him to the sink to wash it off! Never a dull moment around here.
Today will be another lazy day as my hip is bothering me and a light headache. Maybe I will make a banana bread and tapioca pudding later. I will be trying to keep Murphy out Alan's way...key word is try. Glad you stopped by today. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship. Stay safe....
