St.Patrick’s Day

Leprechauns at Work

Power was out for three hours this morning! Sometimes just the power goes out and sometimes only the cable goes out but this time it was a complete outage for us here. We turned on the scanner and heard nothing about why. I called the power company and they recorded it. We learned later that is was a very large area affected.   

Two days ago we got our first Covid vaccination. Yes, our arms were a bit sore, but today we are fine. Next appointment April 12. Thank goodness it was done right here at our local hospital, only 4 miles away.

Recently we got word that a family member was in a Scranton hospital after emergency surgery for a repair to his stomach. At age 85, we sure hope he will get through this and that his recovery will be full. 

Brother stopped in with a dozen of the very large and beautiful brown eggs. Had one for lunch and it was a double yolker! Good Luck!

 

"May you always walk in sunshine,

May you never want for more,

May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door." 

I have committed to the purchase of a "From Me - To Me" birthday present. Will show you soon. I'm excited about it! 

And Here We Are...

COVID-19 Pandemic
First, when the Governor of Pennsylvania put out the "Industry Operation Guidance" list it was worrisome. Today his "Business Closure Order" has been changed. The enforcement has been delayed and the list shortened. It will change again, I'm sure.

These are rough times for so many in multiple ways but we are taking it seriously and living our lives quite carefully, with so many thoughts of others and their distress.

Personally, we are thankful that we don't have kids home needing schooling. That must be very difficult for many. We are thankful that our jobs aren't in jeopardy. We have always practiced frugality because we had to and there is no change in our lifestyle or kitchen activities.

I have only hope that waiting it out in a safe manner will be the best thing, considering what a mess it is. Dealing with facts, not fear is the main issue here.

Interesting fact: The PA Fish and Boat Commission announced this week that it is delaying the start of trout season in Southeastern Pennsylvania, but they have to stock the streams anyway! This is so if hatchery personnel or field personnel get sick, the fish will be out to the public. Fishing can be a safe activity because people can move around in streams and find their own spots away from others. Statewide opening day is now April 18.

The statewide opening day for trout fishing is April 18.
