Here on our quiet rural property, life goes on, without the usual hustle and bustle of art shows that normally permeate the Spring....but leaving more time for homebound endeavors and emerging yardwork and maintenance.
We've been only doing one grocery run a month, thanks in part to a well-stocked freezer, and otherwise we have pretty much stayed home. We also did one large beer run to a nearby brewery in a small village - we called ahead with order and payment, and backed in and watched as they loaded the car. Sure, we got four cases....but we figured better to go once and get a lot, than to make multiple trips.
Lots of puzzles, Jane has been baking and taking grammar lessons, and I have been doing more reading, dusting off the mandolin and brushing up on my French. Jane has also focused more on getting her studio up and running, now that she is well on the mend from knee surgery.
Here's hoping the return to a "new normal" is just around the corner!

The seedlings continue to progress

Perhaps this is the year for dandelion wine?
