Day 8 of social distancing

The clouds are back. The birds are more subdued, but still sing. I hear a wood pecker. The lateness of the hour probably explains the birds quiter chorus. It’s been a lazy morning in bed while the younger kids watch Ratatouille.

I’m posting a slightly different shot today, in hope’s that someone can help me identify the bush that’s by the front porch.

If the sun comes out we hope to go for a walk/mini hike and grill hamburgers tonight. I’m not sure right now though the sun and the clouds seem to be arguing whose day it is.

My coffee is in a pink mug that says, “Keep calm and do the laundry.” Today really ought to be a big laundry day–I do love clean sheet day.

Craft project ideas–

I have several old chairs where the seats are messed up (you know the woven kind of seat?) and I’m wondering what I could do to fix them so I could have chairs on the front porch.
What do my healthcare professionals think about the homemade surgical masks? Do you think they would actually be effective? I don’t know how much elastic I have on hand, but it would be nice to do something that is helpful.

My Saturday is different than the weekdays, but I’ve secretly fantasized about being able to stay home all the time (which by the way, I could have done far more easily if I had NOT homeschooled).

What does your Saturday look like?
