Been feeling like Mexican food for about a week now... finally decided today was the day. Had a few mangos languishing in the fridge... giving me the eyeball... 'use me up before I spoil' it was meant to be. After going to the market for supplies (it has become much simpler these days as the routine has become habit and the virus has lessened here in the Big Apple... for now anyway) a batch of grape tomatoes were also giving me the ole stink eye being all wrinkly and such... thus the mango salsa arrived. A quick sauté of ground pork... a jar of salsa... a can of rinsed black beans... a couple of chopped romaine leaves... a sliced avocado and a package of queso fresco rounded out the meal.
I am pleased to report that Fay has left the building! She was an unwelcome guest for two days... leaving 3" of rain in her wake... (an aside... the grass is thrilled) luckily no real damage from her potent gusts which reached about 50 mph more than a few times... and more importantly the greenhouse weathered the storm in good order! The hubs and I secured it to the deck with rope and straps and it worked beautifully. We are both grateful... the timing couldn't have been better to finish up before the storm arrived. We have decided to make the attachment to the deck permanent as we live in a windy spot.
Listening to the news tonite my heart aches for the 30ish year old guy who stated from his hospital bed 'I made a mistake... I thought it was a hoax' just before he passed... no one should have to learn a lesson like that. Nurses and doctors are beginning to release footage of COVID units (with patients faces blurred when necessary and with their permission) to educate the public about the reality of the virus. I encourage all health care workers to share their experiences with others to try and save lives. Contact your local news outlets and tell your stories... do what you can to help 💞
Mask up... stay apart so we can beat this virus...
How was your day? What's on your plate? Thoughts?
