Daily Notes- July 26th

Modification on the Pandemic Mask

Remove the elastic from a paper disposable mask and sew it onto a cloth mask- 

after removing the strings used to tie it on your head.

I have not and will not go into JoAnn's for elastic- if they even have any.

My daughter says the majority of women in the store have no masks on. Stand too close.

(she went in fully masked like a Desert Storm combat veteran)

Her landscaping attire resembles combat gear.

I would prefer my friend cut the entire side strip off the masks.

I have asked.

News on the Tomato Situation

The tomato plants- with careful watering and not too much fussing around by me

have started to look like nothing ever happened to them.  Lush.

Well, one of them (possibly two) is merely a stump- but......nothing can be done about that.

Green leaves cover many injuries.

Reading report:  Started and finished reading Where the Crawdads Sing yesterday.

Just as wonderful as the first time and the ending causing my eyes to leak so I couldn't see the words.

Going to ask daughter to be on lookout for a copy to own.

We ordered Chinese take out yesterday.  Dumplings, fried rice and sweet sour soup.

Husband said they were busy and there was a line around the side of the building.

More traffic than we have seen in Town in months.

DQ is now open from 11am to 9 pm (in case we mow the grass late)

Newspaper mentioned Maine has had the most success with keeping numbers down. 

Low population in a large land mass State.  Closed Canadian borders.

No contact with large States and Cities- Boston.  New York.

But paper also had an editorial that we may look back on July 2020 as "the good old days" 

Meaning that far more trouble is on the way.
