Taking Positive Action While We Are Staying Home Due To The Pandemic

I think most of us are feeling anxious and worried during this pandemic.  I watched a video on Youtube with John Edward this afternoon.  He used to be a ballroom dancer.  I have always enjoyed his readings.  Listening to him  made me feel much better about the situation.  He believes that it will last until June.  I can deal with that; we shall see...Things have changed so drastically.

Today I planted more rhubarb, and the Anna apple tree.  I also whacked back my Valencia orange tree.   I was afraid that it was dead, but then saw a tiny green leaf sprouting on one of the branches that I had thrown in the bin.  Perhaps the tree will recover and  come back?  I am going to leave it in the ground, and see if it springs back to life.  It looks like it has fire blight.  It's strange; all of the branches look like they have been burned.  At least my other citrus trees are doing well.  They are so green and fruitful.

I have been knitting each day on this pair of socks.  I absolutely love the yarn.  It's by Austermann, my favorite brand of fancy sock yarn.  I made a pair of leg warmers with this wool, originally.  They were pretty, but I never wore them.  So, I unraveled them, and started this  pair of socks.  I wear hand knit socks every single day.  They are so warm and practical.

It's been lovely sitting out on the porch each day.  We are getting more sunshine.  I have been making some fruit tea that I had in the cupboard.  I re-use the tea; it really holds its flavor well.  I made this tea cozy a couple of years ago.  It's Noro Silk Garden yarn.  That dog figurine belonged to my mom.  She used it as a door stop.  I love the shape of it.     
 

Are you doing okay where you are?   I know this is a challenging time for all of us.  I have been chatting with some of my neighbors.  It's interesting to hear everyone's take on the situation.
