Covid-19, Day 20

Monday, March 30, 2020

Gills first day of school. Similar to Jonas' experience last week. Confusion, mayhem, chaos. Hoping tomorrow is better. Ramping Gill up is way more time consuming and hands on than it was in Jonas, who is 2 years his senior after all.

Ed had a 4 hour conference call followed by an hour and a half conference call. I had a few phone conversations and a lot of desk work. The kids would not join us on our walk, which we took at 4:30. Ed and I hunted Pokemon and took photos for this weekend's photo scavenger hunt challenge.

About 6 years ago, Ed planted and espaliered 3 pear trees on the west side of our house. He manually pollinates them, and this year, for the very first time, he got a bloom!



I went out to the grocery for a few more supplies, many cool ranch doritos which I've been craving, and Fresca, which I REALLY crave.

Ed made steaks for dinner and we added special intentions to our grace.
