Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 69
25th May 2020
Today is Memorial Day, when Americans remember the dead from all the wars they’ve been involved in, and stuck their noses into.
Of course with Covid 19 deaths reaching 100000, there should be thoughts given to all the families that have suffered losses equally as traumatic.
The sun brought about more blooming iris’s, so slowly the garden is coming to life. I laid mulch on the new bed before running out. I’m really no good at estimating quantities, I’d be no good in the kitchen.
With some of the relaxing in gatherings of family groups we held a small Memorial Day party at our house. Kelli made the killer potato salad plus a few things from the corner store. All of us refrained from the usual hugs and instead made up alternative elbow greetings.
We had many flyovers by the local duck squadron but no bombing.
There are a pair of ducks that have become regular visitors to our garden, they peck at the seeds underneath the bird feeder, causing our dogs, with their noses up against the glass doors, to freak out.
