Monday Moments - Stir Crazy

 Happy Monday. So what's new in your world?  Well, we're a tad stir crazy. At least during the week, I do get to go to work. That helps. When home, we do plenty of yard work. I mowed on Friday. Saturday we trimmed bushes and blew out leaves from the beds.  Five huge bags and three hours later, we were done. The place looks great. Unfortunately, Ray's on a second week  of allergies and sounds like he has whooping cough...or some other scary disease. No fevers. This is his usual spring allergy spell.
 This weekend should have been the Fort Worth Main Street Arts Festival. Always awesome but now scheduled for September. Meanwhile, they had a virtual on line fest and you could peruse performers and artists. I chose to support an emerging artist and got this piece called "Whole" by Jenifer Livesey.      www.jlartgallery.com      We wore masks during the pickup. She set down the bag - 6 feet away. Stepped back. I retrieved. Muffled thank yous and enjoy. Art in the 2020 era.

 and finally - good thing I got Ray some jigsaw puzzles for Christmas. They've come in very handy.
This one is mystery book covers.  He's making quick progress (while coughing)

Hope your Monday moments are good ones, that you are feeling well, and not too stir crazy.

  1. Yeah, we've been hit by pollen and allergies as well. Or maybe we had the virus. Like you said, hard to tell. Especially as they are now admitting that maybe more than twenty percent never show symptoms, meaning a ton more people have had it than expected.

    1. this is a yearly thing for Ray, so I suspect allergy. But I fear for his compromised coughing lungs. Who knows these days?
      Hope you and your wife are doing well and not too stir crazy

  2. What a huge puzzle! That's one thing to do when you can't go out and socialize. Hope Ray's allergies subside. Those aren't fun!

    1. I have to get him 1000 piece ones. He's too quick with a lesser quantity. He'll live - unless I smother him (just kidding)

  3. Well if you do have 5 days to live doing yard work is not the way to go out.

  4. Hi Joanne - well you did good work in the garden ... but anyone with allergies at this time of year - I feel for. Love the picture you won ... looks lovely. I've never got into jig-saws ... we do them at Christmas - well I stand on the side-lines and watch! Take care and stay safe - Hilary

  5. We are a little stir crazy and have cabin fever, but compared to some who have the virus, we are quite lucky indeed. Looks like a fun jigsaw puzzle.
