We're isolating too but our younger son and his family live in the the 2nd house on the farm and we're not isolating ourselves from them. They're really enjoying all the baking I've been doing. I love your sprouts, every time I see it, I think I need to start one.

We decided to move a few things around because we knew it was going to only be the two of us few quite a while. I have set up a trestle table to use to sort photos and albums. Usually a difficult thing to pack up all the time but I am sure it will be able to stay up for weeks now.<br />We have kept in touch with our families with daily Skype calls. So grateful for modern technology.<br />Good luck with your scrappy sprouts and the temperature quilt.<br />Hope all goes well with the farm work, too.<br />Take care.<br />Karen Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465309380323203551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196581731869031801.post-16502488299026502102020-03-26T17:55:18.835+13:002020-03-26T17:55:18.835+13:00Sprouts are looking good!

I love the fabrics you chose. This is going to be such a fun quilt!<br />Oh, I am glad you got a last day in with some of the grands. We haven't met with our local ones for almost two weeks now, and the out-of-town family had planned to visit last weekend. However, with all this virus madness they decided to stay home. Wise, of course, but I sure am missing the hugs and fun!<br />I think I missed your last post. I will have to go back and look at those fish!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196581731869031801.post-2716177788404730472020-03-26T17:32:49.829+13:002020-03-26T17:32:49.829+13:00The no hugs part is extremely hard isn't it!! ...The no hugs part is extremely hard isn't it!!

We've gone on lockdown here but, if you ask me, it's a pretty weak one. Fast food drive thru's and liquor stores are still open?? Well, thank goodness for technology: Facetime for family, Youtube for Mass and online doctor appointments! It's not the same but better than nothing. Certainly we'll all come out the better for this--appreciating and not taking so much for granted. But for now, we're all sewing away!Cheree @ The Morning Latte https://www.blogger.com/profile/05537258163077932864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196581731869031801.post-38543634675835238222020-03-26T16:48:50.583+13:002020-03-26T16:48:50.583+13:00Love your sprouts and the mouse is cute!

Daddy works in a hospital and they are preparing for the big rush of cases to begin within the next couple of weeks. Over 200 in the city (where they are) and another 175 in the county (where we are). Glad you have lots of fresh air and space. That has to make it easier than being cooped up in a tiny house or small apartment.

We have plenty to do but I feel awful not being able to help with the 2 grandsons 4 and 1 1/2 with their Dad trying to work from home. Their house will get rather restrictive as they love outdoors ( only a small garden ) and the beach which is now a no no. The 4 year old is easy to set tasks or play or learning for but the 1.5 year old not so much! Squabbles with certainly occur for them.<br /> Stay strong and happy sewing.Ali Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671890094425941272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196581731869031801.post-41419281655587697272020-03-26T10:24:31.466+13:002020-03-26T10:24:31.466+13:00lack of cuddles will likely be one of the hardest ...lack of cuddles will likely be one of the hardest thing to bear....

We are into week 2 of lockdown. With no family around us we keep in touch in the normal way by skype and speak with friends regularly too. The weather has been gorgeous and so we have been busy in the garden - I am sure we would not be so upbeat about things if it was raining!
