After endless days of grey clouds and rain, we finally got some sunny days and I beat a hasty path out to the garden. Unfortunately, the truck traffic has not subsided much, and the trucks kick up a toxic tsunami of dust that rolls up the yard and to the house. I have taken to gardening in a face mask.

| Oregano made it through the winter |

Inside, the knitting continues. I just finished a pair of shortie socks for one sister and will be casting something new on as soon as I can decide what it will be - so many projects! More progress has been made on the little house and I hope to have it finished by the end of next week. Then I can start on the little furniture and stuffie family members - I think bunnies.
Speaking of bunnies, what are you doing for Easter this year? It's an entirely new landscape and I am wrestling with the decision of whether to spend it in VT or stay home. As much as I hate to disappoint my mother, I think it would be wiser to keep my distance. I'm definitely going to need a whole lotta jelly beans this year.
I hope you are all safe and well, and finding joy where you can,

I too am a hugger and I am missing my hugs. elbow bumps just don't do it. what's with all the construction vehicles on the road? it's a new world for sure. my main project is clearing the fence on two sides of the shop yard of 6 years of unrestrained growth from many kinds of vigorous vines.
Definitely stay home! This is not the time to travel, especially to see an elderly parent.
As much as I hate it, we'll be staying home. We usually have a big Easter at our place with an egg hunt, but the kids and grands will be staying home this year too. I'm hoping we can have them all out here when this is over (whenever that is). I'm missing hugging them all!
I'm not even thinking about Easter, to be honest. And WHY are there no pictures of the arborist?!?!
I'm glad you've at least had some sunny days and are able to break ground on a bit of gardening.
i'm not a hugger at all and am relieved that people have finally been forced into my way of thinking! i'm making my mediterranean leg of lamb with pilaf and all of my easter rolls. then i am delivering it to people's porches. i gave everyone their easter baskets a week ago. i figured people needed an early bunny visit this year.
I am a hugger from a long line of "bear huggers," and miss hugging my friends. I do have two other people in my household, though, so am not bereft of hugs. And UG on the dust! Living at the end of a dead-end road definitely has its advantages!
Better to stay home; you can make it up to her in the future because there will be a future together.
It did feel wonderful to hug my parents again, but we only risked it after weeks of strict quarantine.
This virus sure is the pits , but hopefully it will start to wind it's self down!! Your smart to keep your distance from every one . It's hard but I hope we're all doing it. Gosh I haven't been out four weeks or more. Your right about Easter! It's going to be quite different around our home, but I'm sure we all will survive. Stay safe and healthy !!xo
I have a pair of socks just like those!
I think you're best staying put, and saving us oldies.
12 days since I've been to town. Only person to talk to is a deaf person, who claims he is not. Run out of wine and chocolate. I am worried about the Easter bunny situation. I have a brand new automatic watering system but I keep forgetting to turn it off thereby drowning seeds. Now you tell me you are a hugger-eek-I'll start bracing myself now. As long as you are not the type to smother it should be O.K.
Linden is impressively handsome.
