Daily routine here now is the Wife is pretty much past making masks, tho the sewing machine is still out and available. Now she is working on her garden, concerned about the supply situation of food and fresh veggies this Spring, since farmers can not hire people to work in the fields. Even our illegals are scared!
KT has been slowly working on the grounds, weather permitting. Two days ago KT cut down a medium-sized hickory tree in the back yard. With my son's assistance, we cut all the usable firewood out of it and stacked it. Yesterday KT began working on the limbs left over. Got them cut up. Everything pinkie finger diameter and smaller is being salvaged for the smoker, even enough to give some to our neighbors. Got a bit over halfway finished with that yesterday evening. When finished only the leaves and tassels will remain which will be scattered back onto the yard and mowed over in a few days. Yard work continues with the Queen finding several more trees she wants removed from the Castle grounds. KT does not mind this activity, and being 70 years old, probably needs the exercise, and fortunately the Queen realizes KT will do these chores, but as His pace!
Today it is also time to make the every 4th day trip to WalMart, to get some essentials, and see if they have any 22LR ammo left. If they do, KT will purchase some additional for the Marlin Model 60 rifle He bought late last week. Waiting for the new scope and mounts is a bummer, but KT is learning patience with this on-going pandemic. Then will come the trip to the Shooting Range to sight it in. Going to use it for some squirrel and rabbit hunting in the King's Woods.
Hoping that you and your wife are in good health and your family too! Just a word from across the pond to cheer you on!
