Good Day for Ducks and Herons!

Ducks and herons would love how wet everything is around here.  And, more to come...this time storms with possible tornadoes...the water fowl better hole up some place they won't blow away!  I got both these photos on our last barn trip.  

We have both "sheltered at home" today...just like our mayor told us to do!  The only time I went out was to get the mail, cover a couple of plants, take out the garbage (so glad that garbage pickup is considered necessary!), and slogged out to the compost pile to empty the compost bucket.

Woody did go outside for a little while this afternoon.  He has done his usual crossword puzzles, read, watched TV, and eaten meals.  Not a lot to do.  I did run the vacuum in our bedroom and put a few things away.  It was another day that I didn't need to cook as we still have choices in the fridge.

The Coronavirus has folk concerned...and I am...but today I am more concerned with the weather that is heading our way.  We are in the path of some approaching heavy storms with possible tornadoes that could spin off.  We had rain this morning, but unfortunately had a short period of sunshine this afternoon which is not good to have under these weather conditions.  Sunshine just before a storm arrives means that the atmosphere has warmed up and the approaching air that is probably cooler will collide and mix...all leading to a higher possibility of tornadoes.  So at the moment tornadoes are higher in my mind than the Coronavirus!  

Speaking of the Coronovirus, the Tennessee governor has just pushed the date for TN schools to start up again to April 24...so another month off for public schools.  At times like this there is definitely an advantage to homeschooling.  I was just talking to Kathy this afternoon about that...they are pressing on per usual!  Graham will finish all his course work and will get his diploma whether there is a ceremony or not.  I'm guessing that once this settles down, then there will be a delayed graduation ceremony.  But there are enough just between our two houses to be able have a pretty good celebration for him.  

Stay safe and well.  Use social distancing and self-isolation and in places like Tullahoma practice sheltering at home!  Be wise in your comingS and goings and WASH YOUR HANDS!
