Yesterday we kicked off this busy month with a trip to see Bobby's niece and her family. It was a treat to see their new hobby farm and spend time with the great nieces and nephew. They were proud to show off their chickens and goats and sheep and their garden spot and it was just fun to watch their excitement.
Today is a home catch up day...laundry, produce, cleaning and so on.
I canned the last tomatoes for this year.
Have a small handfull for sandwiches this week, but I opened the garden gate so the chickens can now go in and scratch until their hearts are content. I was going to wait a few more weeks but the peas are drying out and okra is barely producing so I'm putting myself out of turmoil and saying "It's over!"
Beef comes in this week so I need to clean the freezer. Squirrels are already attacking the pecan trees even though the nuts aren't ripe yet. They got almost all the pears and apples this year.
A man in our church has lost his job because he refused the vaccine. He's already had covid, so I don't know if that is why he refused it or not. I do know many people who have not taken it for very different reasons. Many work places are not requiring it but do require employees to be tested every day if they don't get it. Personally, I don't think that is an unreasonable thing to ask.
It continues to amaze me the vastly different precautions and reactions people are having towards the pandemic.
Meanwhile life is going forward for everyone, whether they are staying at home or returning to some semblance of a normal life. I'm not seeing a huge difference in infection rates between the masked and unmasked in my circles. I don't know if that is the norm anywhere else or not.
