I thought I'd share some from the last couple of weeks. Starting with our vacation, we literally drove to my sister's and didn't leave the the property once. We all quarantined for two weeks beforehand, which isn't hard since we all work from home except D#2 but she works in a lab so always has a respirator/mask on. Sis and BIL also quarantined so we all felt comfortable being together.
The first picture is the view from the upper deck of my girls in floaty chairs tied to the dock. This was the afternoon after Isaias rolled thru so it was still a little grey. My sister and I took a spin in those chairs too. Hard to get into but an awesome place to relax and stay cool.
This is my youngest and her BF kayaking.
This is the seagull my BIL named George. He showed up after the storm with stripped flight feathers, extremely hungry and thirsty. Definitely was beat up by the storm. We caught minnows and fed him and gave him water all week. Surprisingly intelligent. He is still hanging out on their dock and they are still feeding him but after consulting with a local bird rescue they are attempting to catch him to bring him to the rescue place because they told them it will take months for him to molt and grow new flight feathers, poor thing.
Next are a couple of pictures from our bedroom of the shrimp boats at night.
And finally the summer sunset.
Moving on to the post storm, post vacation garden.
Here is what we picked as soon as we got home. Lots of tomatoes, 2 regular cukes, 3 lemon cukes, 2 over-sized patty pan squash (but delicious none-the-less) and some padron peppers. Sent the kids home with a bunch and shared with our elderly neighbors.
My beat up garden. Not the best pictures. I'm not sure how or why but 4 of my tomato plants are dead. I still have a green zebra, a yellow brandywine and 2.5 bumble bee cherry tomatoes left. I say 2.5 because of the 3 cherry plants one seems to be having issues but is still producing so hopefully it will recover.
On the work front I am beyond busy (over-whelmed) and it will ramp up through the fall and winter. It's going to be a rough year. This Friday on our weekly all-company COVID call we were told that our remote work will continue until at least January 1, and since I'm in the 3rd group of the re-entry plan I won't be going back (if at all) until April or May of 2021. I work in a critical industry and they are taking this pandemic and our health very seriously. They view this whole thing as a paradigm shift of how we will work going forward and they are re-configuring our offices/cubicles, limiting elevator and conference room capacities, looking into the HVAC system and other processes and tactics to make sure we all stay safe and able to do our jobs into the future. That will also involve alternative work options, like permanent work from home, and other flexible plans. Crazy times.
And finally, to end on a fun, cute, happy note, here are pictures of Mrs. and Ms. Kravitz on duty.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend. I have to cut the lawn, clean-up my gardens, finish the laundry, bake some bread and also a bake sweet for the week. I think I'll make a lemon blueberry upside down cake.
What's on your agenda for the weekend? How is your garden doing?
