Thank you SO MUCH for clarifying the individual identities of all our little gnats!<br /><br />Mitchell: That was exactly what I said on one of your recent posts -- my comment that somehow disappeared. We've swapped weather! The fence IS our responsibility, apparently, but the thing is, it doesn't NEED to be replaced. It's perfectly fine.<br /><br />E: She's a piece of work.<br /><br />Marty: Yeah, she'd be saying all this even without the virus -- although I DO think she's channeling some omnipresent inner angst.<br /><br />Padre: Do you ever make Go-Pro films of your rides? I'd love to see one. And I bet you could capture footage of some insect activity then!<br /><br />Bug: The determination of who's essential and who's not all seems very arbitrary. I wonder if you could arrange to work from home, whether your office is closed or not? Seems like they'd allow it if it's possible.<br /><br />Robin: It's fun to try to make the camera do things you haven't thought of before!<br /><br />Sharon: I love how nature's cycles are intact, even in the midst of all this craziness.<br /><br />Red: Yeah, that's basically the rule here -- we're allowed out once for exercise and also to shop, and that's it.<br /><br />Edna: Thanks for the kind words!<br /><br />Vivian: Hopefully you're living for more than BTS! Ha! But yeah, talk like that is not going to win fans among senior voters (who, I would guess, are largely Republican).<br /><br />Catalyst: I wonder if she notices any difference at all in life on the streets? She knew our walk wasn't long and we took our morning route in the afternoon, which seemed to weird her out.<br /><br />Ms Moon: I think she creates a lot of misery for herself and everyone around her.<br /><br />Linda Sue: In some ways, this lockdown is kind of fantastic. I'm getting a lot done around the house!<br /><br />37P: YES! The garden makes a big difference, although to be honest, even some sunny windows would probably be enough.<br /><br />Jenny-O: Thanks! And the bugs say thanks too!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-33504592274268754342020-03-26T01:28:44.640+00:002020-03-26T01:28:44.640+00:00The grass with its new haircut looks great.

Simply because we can't wrap our heads around the BIG thing. But of course Mrs. K. has always leaned that way so this is nothing new for her. She's just contrary. It occurs to me that such things don't bother me in the least. Life must be very difficult for people like that. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-21514202456021131882020-03-25T17:16:32.841+00:002020-03-25T17:16:32.841+00:00Olga seems to be pondering, "Where is everyon...Olga seems to be pondering, "Where is everyone?"Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-39970054335909337142020-03-25T17:16:23.491+00:002020-03-25T17:16:23.491+00:00My apologies Vivian.

The top one is Jeff, and *then*there's Frank. People always get those two confused because they both have the same wingspan.<br /><br />Here in America, Fox News and the Lt. Gov. of Texas (age 63) are urging older Americans to die in order to save the economy.

I may have to try and photograph them. Not something I had ever considered before.
