Rain Overnight

Only 2 mm of rain, so really not enough to do any good.  Hubby wanted to cut the lawn today, but will have to wait until it dries up a  bit.

Up at 6:00 a.m. to go and get our weekly groceries, more people in the store today than there have been during the past couple of weeks.   People must be feeling a bit safer as the number of cases are going down in our city.   Only three new cases yesterday, however, about  70 miles from us in a rural area, there are almost a 100 new cases, call migrant workers.  They were all quarantined for 14 days when they arrived here, so authorities have no idea where they contacted the virus.  The farmer has put out a desperate request for locals to help with the harvest of his asparagus and apparently received a number of people that will do the work.   It's not an easy job sitting on a low moving piece of machinery and reaching down to pick the asparagus out of the ground.   I love asparagus, in past years we were only able to get it local when in season, however, it is in the grocery stores year round.  Do you like asparagus?

I have been suffering from a painful back, neck and shoulders for the past few days, all of the outside work I have been doing helping Hubby with his jobs has taken a toll I am afraid, learning the hard way to take it easy from now on.  I was in my sewing room for most of the afternoon and was able to get a fair bit accomplished.  Can's show you what I am doing as it is a secret challenge our guild is doing and I dont know if any of our group looks at this blog. 

Looks as if the rain might be over, sun is trying to break through, so now it is starting to feel very muggy.
 

Lots of flowers in the garden are stating to put on a nice show, Iris bearded, yellow, blue and purple and Icelandic Iris, bluish/purple, Bee Balm, Spirea, Potantila, sp? Creeping Phlox and of course the annuals, petunia and marigolds.

The gardens were not taken care of prior to me moving to this house, so everything is a work in progress, hoping to get all of the plants to be perennials over time.

Chicken and asparagus for dinner, dessert will likely be fruit in jelly, trying not to indulged in desserts that are high in sugar, ie: pies and cakes etc. they last forever with just the two of us,  those are for special occasions when we have company for dinner.   Thinking it going to be a long time before we have any pie or cake   LOL.

Well that's all from me today, 

Stay safe, stay well.
