Kathy - wow. I am completely stupefied. Those sorts of things are the sorts of horrors that we hear about on the news but never imagine it to happen to anyone we know. It is incredible and deeply saddening to hear about it happening in your family/circle of people. Tragic barely begins to describe it and I hope, like you, that your cousin pulls through this okay and isn't brain damaged or immediately traumatized by the memory of what happened. The brain does process things as we sleep, however, and it is entirely possible that a coma might be necessary for her mind to psychologically work through what she has been through. She will need a lot of love and support when she comes out on the other end. I can't even imagine being in her shoes. Or yours. As to the virus...please be careful. We need people responsible for food and food deliveries to continue, but if there's nothing to transport, I hope that you have the ability to stay at home or continue to do things in safe, clean spaces.
Jim - thank you for sharing the beauty of your garden with us.
I have daffodils here, too, that are just on the verge of blooming.
Diana - Good advice. I am one o fthe lucky ones that can hole myself up in our house and not really have to go out much, but I did need clothes in the next size range for my little girl just the last couple of weeks and so I bought a lot of second-hand clothes from someone looking to get rid of all of theirs. The way I treated the clothes and the bags they came in, you would have thought that they were covered with flesh-eating bacteria or something.
