Cocooning in The Humble Bungalow
We have been listening to the daily press conferences on the Covid-19 virus.
People have been asked to take "shelter" in their homes
work remotely from home if possible.
Schools are closed indefinitely.
Recreations centres, libraries, and shops are closed or only open a few hours.
Grocery stores and pharmacies are open but many shelves are bare.
Restaurants and coffee shops are offering "take out" only.
Who knows how long we will need to cocoon in our homes and practise social distancing?
Our cupboards, closets and drawers have never looked tidier.
I've been baking, cooking and looking through my cookbooks for new recipes.
Tackling tedious jobs that I usually put on the back burner.
Each morning I linger longer over my coffee...
while I catch up on the news and social media.
I've been reading more than usual.
Rosemarie, a dear reader from Vancouver
sent me some sunflower seeds to sow...
she has sent me a packet each year in memory of my Mom.
Rosemarie is a generous, kind and thoughtful woman.
I hope to meet up with her at some point when we get through this pandemic.
The primulas are putting on their annual cheery display.
They bloom from February until May and then I plant them out in the garden.
Geraniums will replace these pretty plants from May through until September.
I've been embracing the opportunity to get out for my daily walk.
It is a chance to enjoy fresh air, absorb some Vitamin D and get some exercise.
With sunny days and natural beauty at every turn it is not a hardship.
Wee pops of colour elevate my daily round.
Cheerful anemone
such a pretty shade of blue
almost purple.
