Today is going to be tomato planting day for the third time. I've been able to save a few plants by digging them up and bringing them inside, but it's a pain. Scott sent me a dozen more plants last weekend. So I hope this time is successful and it doesn't freeze again. Okra is up. It looks pitiful, but you can't kill okra.
I read a book yesterday that Ann gave me that was awesome. "Before we Were Yours." by Lisa Wingate. About a factual person who stole children and sold them for adoption to rich families. Factual fiction. It was really good.
I read the book of Joel and Amos in the Bible last night. You don't need to do it but once. I don't know why I've been reading all these minor prophets again. I just thought I might have missed something. I didn't. I'll read the letters Paul wrote twenty times each again instead.
Squig and I made it around the block yesterday. He is such a chicken. There was a tree trimmer with a truck parked along the sidewalk and I had to drag my poor dog past it. He had his butt stuck to the sidewalk and wouldn't pick up his feet and walk. It's a wonder the leash didn't choke him.
This is day 49 in the house for me. After a while, this is going to get old. I understand all the "Go back to Work" protests, but I bet it's just going to result in a second wave of this mess.
The only hard part for me is that I want a Braums' hamburger and french fries really bad. With a coke. If I thought I could trust the workers not to scratch their nose with their rubber gloves...I guess I could ask them to don new gloves. That would irritate them for sure.
