Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Blue skies... temps in the low 60’s... no jackets required... spring like... birds tweeting in the branches... squirrels digging in planters on the deck... folks doing the last of fall cleanup... spent time on the deck with the hubs and Mr Sam today... cleaned out dried tomato plants from the greenhouse... turned over the soil... brought the remaining herbs inside on benches for frost protection... expecting snow and cold by midweek... being outside in the sun and warmth felt like an affirmation of life today.
Brought groceries to Mom... spent time chatting... mask on... she is doing well... a few friends visiting through the week... lots of phone calls keeping friendships alive until they can be together again.
Stopped at the market on the way home to pick up a few supplies so we are able to remain indoors through the week... incoming snow fall estimated to be 6” - 12” on Wednesday... so glad the hubs is home 🥰
Picked up a bag of overripe tomatoes at the market ($2 for 5 lbs) fresh sauce on the menu... roasted the tomatoes with salt, pepper and olive oil... roasted diced onion and garlic... buzzed it up... added black Kalamata olives... and cooked penne... enjoyed along with a porterhouse steak... hubs was able to cook it outside on the grill... with vino... and a green salad with oranges, tomatoes and red onions.
Vaccinations begin this week for our deserving health care workers and nursing home residents... we must not let our guard down during this time... covid stats are out of control across the US... we have been losing souls at the horrific rate of over 3000 each day 😢... please... mask up... limit interactions to folks in your own home... and wash those germy hands 💕😷
How was your day? What on your plate? Thoughts?
