Orange Cranberry Scones and Leftover Turkey Meatloaf, Roasted Potatoes and Asparagus and Tomato Salad

 Quarantine supper tonite...   Live from NYC 

Sun playing peek-a-boo till mid afternoon...  clouds arriving...  warmth vanishing.  Grey skies dominating late afternoon... threatening drizzle...  robins flitting from branch to branch flirting...  sparrows in a flock chittering in the trees...  our chubby pregnant squirrel packed full with acorns...  she looks ready to pop. 


Iced coffee ☕️ with orange cranberry scones... a brunch treat...  the hubs enjoying his cup of joe alongside.  Spent time in the greenhouse...  the babies all growing...  new leaves sprouting...  thyme flowering on the deck...  gave everyone a drink... their habitat warm and inviting despite the chill outside.  Mr Sam briefly in the deck...  following into the kitchen... the clouds thickening.  


Made a brief trip to Moms for grocery delivery Saturday...  spent time with her and her delightful aide...  chatting and visiting.  She is beginning to enjoy visiting with vaccinated friends again...  attending her chair yoga class...  life slowly easing back toward some semblance of normalcy in her complex.  


Had our first visit with vaccinated friends in 14 months Saturday evening...  it was such a delight to socialize in person...  share a meal...  catch up on news...  seemed like eons..  and at the same time only weeks...  since we last visited.  Catching up over the phone simply not the same as being in person.


Supper tonite...  leftovers from last nights shared meal...   turkey meatloaf, oven roasted potatoes, roasted asparagus and tomato salad...  a glass of Cabernet 🍷 to accompany...   Lemon Zinger tea and a scone for dessert.


Covid variants in Brazil and India overwhelming their health care system...  people succumbing at an alarming rate.  We are incredibly fortunate to have already vaccinated half of adults here in America with at least one jab 💉

35 million citizens fully vaccinated...  make that appointment and #GetYourJabOn  be proactive...  take care of those you love...  more than 2 million Covid long haulers are evidence this disease is detrimental... even to those who recover.   Until then... you know what to do...  mask up...  limit interactions...  glide through the market and wash those germy hands 😷💕

How was your day?   What’s on your plate?   Thoughts?
