Thank you angel friends :) my family, Holly, and i love and treasure your very special friendships :) i share all of your heart-felt comments, warm well wishes, and hugs with them :) We're so thankful, for our wonderful family of friends across the miles :) we recieved some texts, and also some letters from across the miles :) our dear friends Judy (LivingWater), and Dee (DeeTool13) wrote us :) it's so nice, getting to keep in contact with eachother, and keeping eachother updated, on how we all are doing, especially during these current times. it's a comfort, and uplifting joy, being able to write to eachother :) i'm writing some letters :) writing is a great joy :) i'm so happy, to be blossoming into some writings, and looking forward to sending lots and lots of love, and happy friendship smiles across the miles, from our hearts, and home to yours :)



We've been keeping up to date, and in tune, with the latest news, updates from family and friends. We all are taking good care :) we've been thinking about things, and our plans for the days, weeks, and times ahead, to share in. we all have been limiting the amount of time we go out, during these current times. it's best, to keep as careful, and safe as we all can. We're eating well, having healthy teas, talking, sharing, and so thankful to be in communcation with friends across the miles :) There's some things we're thinking about, to ensure good health,to keep healthy, and in good spirits <3 here in Connecticut, from saturday into sunday, there were 469 more cases of the coronavirus, and sunday into monday, 571 more cases, bringing the total to over 2.500 cases of the virus here in our state. the president put a travel restriction on Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, limiting travel to only essential travel. The president also extended the stop the spread of the virus, social distancing, to april 30th.



We're all in this together <3 i've been thinking of our times we go out, and how in recent times, it's become more scary, and worrysome to go out. it's a risk out there. they are advising people to stay home, and only go out, if you have too. i was thinking of our post office adventures. w elove going to the post office, and it's one of the most brightest, and special joys of the week. we don't have many packages to mail in April, we have 1 package we need to mail on super wednesday, and for most april, it's a letters/cards type of mailings, for us. i usually buy just the exact amount of stamps, we need, when we go to the post office. i was talking with my family, and Holly, about how i believe, maybe this wednesday, i could buy an extra 25 stamps or so, so that in the upcoming weeks ,could have enough stamps, to mail cards/letters, when our mail person comes. as much as we love our post office adventures, and going in there, right now it's worrysome, and may be best, to just mail out the envelopes from our home here, maybe 2 or 3 envelopes, every few days, so that we can keep a good amount of mail flowing to our friends across the miles :) if we continue to go to the post office during these times, it would be, just to be going, which we always love, but during the current times, it's a risk going out, and it be best to be able to continue to write here at home, and mailing out envelopes here when our mail person comes. :) we want to be safe, and for us all, to be safe and healthy :) Wishing us all, the best of good health :) we're hoping, and praying, that the virus stops spreading, and that with time, in the weeks, or months ahead, things gradually get back to normal. We're all keeping very hopeful, and will always be here for you and your family's :)



We're blossoming into the new week : )This morning, we had a sweet new day, rising shining :) We've had some rain here in our area. the rain was eased this morning, i gathered a big bowl of goodies and went outside for my early morning nature walk :) i put lots of goodies in our backyard, bird sanctuary area :) our nature friends love the goodies, and are very happy :) there was a nice breeze in the air this morning :) it's nice, and refreshing :) We're so thankful for the joys nature brings :) we're loving seeing, and hearing lots of our nature friends, spring birds, and such a peaceful joy, all of the peace nature brings :)



We enjoyed a nice breakfast, and having iced coffees, hot teas :) cheers! to family, friends, good health, and enjoying peaceful joys :) Holly and i enjoyed our TWD marathon party yesterday, and watched the new episode last night :) it was an intense episode. there's another new episode next week, and then TWD is taking a break, until later on this year.

Your garden is always beautiful. I enjoyed your nature photos of all the wonderful birds. Thanks for all my nice hugs today Have a good evening Hugs to all-Stephanie

That sounds like a good idea, to have some extra postage stamps on hand so you can mail out without having to in to the post office. The social distancing rule is a difficult one, even for people with social anxiety like us! I'm really feeling it, myself.
I was so sorry to read about the money situation with your sister. My sister and her family do the same thing. I got to the same point, to stop lending, and start saying no. Anyway, you and Holly have your own lives now, your own little family and you could be saving for yourselves to do things together, and you have your own commitments too. Stay strong, say no, and I'm with you all the way. Here if you need to chat. Sending love and comfort in these difficult times xxxx

Good morning Chris and Holly I like your idea of buying extra stamps, especially with the news coming out of CT and the increase in cases of the Covid virus in your state. It is best if we follow the advice of our government and stay home. I know it is hard and John and I are starting to hate being home all the time but we both know that it is for the best right now, especially with my heart condition. Cases in Pennsylvania are increasing as well so we are being a lot more careful now. They have now closed all the parks because people weren't practicing social distancing in the parks. I am glad we live in the country so we can at least go for a walk if we want to. They have stationed park rangers at the parks to make sure that people don't sneak in. It is a shame that a few have to ruin things for many.

It is great that you and Holly are planning your garden. We aren't planting a garden because the deer destroy it if we do. I am planning my flower gardens though and am excited to get started on them when the weather permits. I want to add plants back in the picnic grove to make it prettier. John and John were back at the pond scouting out the geese nests to make sure they didn't get attacked when they mow back there. They found two of the nests and hope that is all there is. AS soon as they mow back there, they will know if there are anymore because the mother goose will attack them if they get to close. Geese are very protective of their nests and little ones.

The leaves are starting to pop on the trees. It won't be long before the woods are green again I am so excited to see the leaves. I hate the woods when there are no leaves. It looks so desolate. The ferns are starting to pop through as well. WE planted a ton of ferns back in the picnic grove a couple of years ago. They did well last year and should be bigger this year.

I hope you guys have a great Tuesday. Enjoy your treats today. John and I may do McDonalds for dinner this evening. We need to get out of the house and that is one trip that would be safe. We wouldn't be getting out of the car.

Take are and have a great day. Hugs--Debbie, John and Allie
