Can't wait to see it as a Chick Charms.........

Actually I selfed it and got a couple very nice very broad seedlings. It's a pretty nice semp even without the bumps.

Bev has been such a good sport with this. I gave it as a ridiculous example during one of my training classes but it is one that most also really want it. It is such a neat novelty.

When I saw the cancelled, I said a four letter word.

But I understand why it is happening.

My computer is down right now so I am having to type this on my kindle, which is a royal pain.

And does not i.prove my mood. Computer guy says I need a new one. Grumbling Grumbling

More later!

Melissa,

I've said a few non-choice words about the corona virus myself. After going through hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards and a world record ice storm, I thought I had seen it all. This is worse. Even worse than my car wreck last May.

You aren't that far up the road that you can't come and see things when this craziness is over.

To all my friends: I have worked nearly 30 years in public health and I wanted to wish you all well. I have worked through 9-11 and the anthrax scare, the SARS pandemic and now Coronavirus. This is by far the biggest health threat I have faced. This disease no longer is an old people disease, and 20 and 30 years olds are testing positive.
So to protect you all I suggest.
Stay home as much as feasibly possible. If you want a change of scenery pull the rocking chairs to the front porch or garden.
Keep you hands washed: 20 seconds. How long is that?

"Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to liveā€¦"
And while your washing your hands move that body as you sing that song,. Dont try to tell me dont remember those Disco moves.

The hardest part is going to be not seeing friends and family,. Social distancing really works.
If your deperate call someone to share recipes "Kevin, Lynn...lol"
Be safe friends.

Got a nice email from the hotel and they are cancelling everyone's room in our group without penalty.

When I re-schedule I will definitely be going there again as they are such nice people and they have great service. I know that Bev, Jim and I have enjoyed the restaurant too. I'm just sorry that all of you didn't get to share in this wonderful place.

The people that come to the clinic have become part of my greater extended family. Your visit each year gives me such pleasure.

hopefully it will continue on. I'm rather a non-semp person but was contemplating going just to meet up with all you fun folk. Maybe next year...
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.

Kevin, I will definitely take you up on your offer. You may find me turning into a real pest.

Still on my kindle so not real chatty.

Greg I don't think you want me to put out a disco video. Now maybe a garden video? I have been working at learning how to do this with one of my cameras. Fair, but not usable results from yesterday. Trying a new approach today. Don't hold your breath. Rolling my eyes.

As I pulled into my work parking lot today - we are essential supply chain - my boss called and told me to turn around and go home. A coworker has symptoms. So now I am at home isolation until we know more. **sigh**

I was just told to only work half days, even though we are public health they are trying to reduce our exposure time.

Thank you... I am trying to stay safe, this coravirus scares me. My mother is 79, frail with dementia absolutely I will not visit.
As soon as. they granted us half days, they canceled the order. Back to 5 days and 8 hours. Poor decisions or lack of them are putting to many people at risk.
Please all stay safe

This is a picture of B's Bs that I took in Nov 2019 in its green form. The bumps look more elongated then.

Greg, it must be difficult to not see your mom, but the very best decision to not visit her at this time. Group hug

Bev, I almost like the green time better than the spring time for BB.
