Here is whats happening at our house.

I am trying out the new BLOGGER from Google. I have heard other people say they don't like it but I want to see how good or bad it is. Actually it doesn't matter if I like it or not as the old Blogger is going away.

I finally completed the puzzle from hell. This is probably the hardest puzzle I have every attempted but I must say, when it was done I felt a real accomplishment. It also was one of the best constructed  puzzles I have every worked with. Each piece was precise and the material it was made from was excellent.

I have spent a lot of time in the garden. Everything is really growing. I just hope everything produces. So far I have been picking lettuce most everyday. My red leaf lettuce is about to bolt I think. To bad, as it is really good. I have picked a few zucchini and I see a small yellow squash on one plant. Cucumbers have small ones on also. looking forward to cucumber sandwiches soon.

Lettuce and peppers on left in raised bed, tomatoes in wicking tubs and zucchini in front.

Cucumbers on right, pole beans by tall trellis with peas on left by shorter trellis. Gourds back by the fence.

We are still working on the flagpole project, well I should say on the flagpole plaza as the flagpole is done and in use every day. The other day we bought some patio chairs and a round table to put in front of the house. Yesterday we looked for patio pavers to put the chairs on as the remainder of the ground will have a low ground cover. We found some pavers we really liked but they were $27.50 each for a 16 inch square. Ah...I don't think so. Guess we will go with grey cement pavers instead at $2.50 each. I made cardboard templates this morning so I could see what placement works. looks like I need 16 pavers. That's about $40 vs $440. I think we will go for the cheap ones.

I have been working on some family history lately. I have a lot of information scattered in various places both on my computer and in paper files. I just need to get it all organized. 

As for the Pandemic and social distancing....things have started to open up slowly. I have been splitting wood at the Elks club both on Thursday's and Saturday's. There are only a few of us working so keeping some distance is not a problem. Also. we are outdoors.

Friday we also went to the Elks to meet with a few friends for drinks and food. Only a handful of people there but it is a beginning. Tuesday should be our first Elks meeting. Again that isn't a problem as few people show up for an actual meeting. 

All of this is while wearing masks of course.

Our churches still arn't open but when they can meet the state mandated requirements they can open but are limited to 100 people. So far I have been attending Sunday mass live streaming from St Patrick's Cathedral in New York at 7:15 AM. It works for me.
