MONDAY MUSINGS: BUGGED

There are a lot of things that bug me nowadays. Some we have control over and others not so much.  My main peeve now is the number of inconsiderate folks who don't want to be inconvenienced to wear a mask to help prevent the spread of the virus.

One little person who does get it is the youngest of my grands Ms. H. who will be 3 in August.  She took a gift I sent to be used to prevent her bedroom door latch locking and repurposed it. 

  
She's one smart considerate young lady to equip her bear with that latch lock cover which certainly gave her Bubbe a good chuckle.

And speaking of being locked in/ self quarantined it gives one time to improve our living spaces. We do normally spend time on our screened in porch as soon as the temps allow eating, listening to the radio, reading and now zooming... 

Last year you may remember we replaced the fabric screening with metal since the birds had pecked holes in almost every panel with some as big as a quarter. Anybody else have screen issues?

Anyhow, with the new metal screening done it was time for a little decorating with the addition of a rug for our non winter time, new bench cushion and tablecloth all which help make this extra living space a lot cozier and more personal.

Color always adds life to a space and now the wall of flower pics has company...  

What locale could be better than one's own screened in porch equipped with a breeze by a ceiling fan to continue our 18th anniversary celebration post a local bike ride yesterday? The new mint pesto recipe made a great summer pasta lunch entree with our fresh goat cheese accompanied by carrot sticks, celery and our first garden radishes...

We're looking forward to enjoying more time on our porch spent not being so bugged ...
