Chit Chat

Greetings!

We are now told to stay home here in Ohio, although we are able to go to the grocery store, Dr,bank or gas station. What really has changed is that most things are closed. Not that it changes anything for me, I pretty much stay home, I'm sure others will have a difficult time of it.

I'm growing weary and bored with all of this constant drumbeat.
It brings to mind the story of Boy who cried wolf.

A little common sense goes a long way. 

Yesterday my husband and I went for a drive in to the country. He thought maybe we wouldn't be able to be going anywhere, so we got one nice ride in. He was right. We went to park, it was packed with people, there wasn't even any place to park. People all over, walking with out spacial distancing, everywhere with their dogs.  Enjoying the sunshine, albeit only 40 degrees. I have never seen the park so busy, even in the summertime.
I'm working on another Crochet Mandala, putting the edges round it now. 
 Laundry today, left from the weekend to fold. 
Moving about smartley. 
Moving the hook
(not necessarily in that order)

I ordered a scented geranium, can't find them around here. They are more considered an herb then a flower like the regular geranium. They come in many "flavors",  I tend to get the same one
it's LemonRose.  The leaves are scented, it has flowers but they are small, pretty, but the plant is known for it's scented  leaves.


Any of you every buy these, if so what is your favorite flavor? You can learn more about it:
 This is from a few years ago. I made this "flower bed" out of palletts. It has since been in disrepair, maybe this year I will revive it again. 

As always....stay well.!

Stay safe, stay well. Things have slowed down here considerably. People are maintaining the social distancing request, and now it is the law to self isolate on coming back from international trips or face a stiff fine.

God bless.

Is that geranium edible? There is a LemonRose tea I very much like but obviously could just be coincidence.

Faith said...

Maybe not, it's the oil of these plants which is useful. From what I've read it is an herb, and not harmful. Maybe your tea has the dried leaves/oils which flavor the tea. Sounds like a lovely tea.

I like your flowerbed made with wood pallets.
Scented Geraniums are hard to find, aren't they!! I have one that I grow in my sunroom, I believe it's a lemon-scented. It wants to grow too tall for the spot I have it in so I keep cutting it back. So the poor thing can't bloom. Not that the flowers are ever showy anyway.

Faith said...

Thank you GM. Scented geraniums are hard to find locslly. The first one I ever bought I found locally, then I couldn't find them again,so I ordered them online each year. I try to keep it over winter it gets so leggy like you said, and they don't flower,but it just smells so nicr, lemon and rose...

I wanted to start another crochet project, but now I’m so busy preparing for online classes.

I look forward to seeing your new mandala. 😊

We're on shelter in place, too. I wasn't sure how much of my work I'd be able to do at home because my computer is older. But so far, even though some tasks take a little longer and are sometimes more complicated due to security measures, I can't believe I can do what I can do from home!

We try to get out every day because sunshine and warm temps (which we actually have today and tomorrow) are supposed to be the best cure for just about everything. Lots of people are out doing the same thing, but I've noticed here they are staying spaced out. It feels weird not being able to hug and shake hands, but hopefully we will get back to that one day...

My new project this week was masks for neighborhood nurses. That actually was refreshing because I felt like I was doing something to make the situation better.
