A little gallows humor..<br />I love doing mosaics from found objects. Your stepping stones sound like a fun project. The plant is lovely. It always feels good to rescue living things.<br />I am sorry your Mom is drifting away from you. At least she is laughing and not crying, I guess. <br />Yesterday I read tRump has had his properties closed and I felt joy for a little while. Then I read a person in Pence's office was tested positive. Where there is one, there are a dozen.<br />This mismanagement is deliberate.

At least you (and we) have a yard to walk around in. I really feel for folks who live in apartments, and can't get out at all. <br /><br />Also, I wish MY mother would just respond to anything I said with a laugh. It would be a good deal more pleasant than how some of our conversations go!jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-72501082628194380212020-03-21T19:14:32.716+00:002020-03-21T19:14:32.716+00:00How dare two American citizens pass comment on our...How dare two American citizens pass comment on our beloved prime minister's hairstyle! Mr Johnson is a fashion icon and besides we British folk never say anything derogatory about that fellow in The White House who has an unbelievable fake hairstyle. What's his name again?

The path was mostly empty--whenever another person approached either I or they stepped off onto the grass---with a dog, I often do that anyway, to give space to people (or other dogs) who don't like dogs.<br />Some people said hello (NOT normal Minnesota behavior), and that was cheering.<br />Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-44625897737403494442020-03-21T14:19:37.166+00:002020-03-21T14:19:37.166+00:00We'e not as tightly locked down as you.

I kept my distance from the woman in front of me but the guy behind me was a little too close. I wanted to ask him to back off but at the same time, I didn't want to face him so I just ignored him the best I could. My beloved botanical garden closed yesterday for the duration. I'm glad I got one last walk in. I'll have to find a new walking environment for the time being. I'll go mad if I have to stay in the house all the time.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-38585776909483774922020-03-21T10:06:19.780+00:002020-03-21T10:06:19.780+00:00So, which was it?
