Sunday again. I suppose that this is the 3rd Sunday of this quarantine/lockdown/shelter-in-place, although when the first one rolled around it didn't yet seem to mean much. Now, two weeks later, it seems that we will never get back to normal.
The weather is cooler today with a north wind. I would guess the temperature was in the 70s and mostly overcast.
Mom and Dad came up at 8:30 to remove the bent blade from the mower. We got one off, and they went to town to replace it. I came inside and we downloaded the Facebook Watch app on the firestick and watched First Baptist's church service. Mom watched it from her phone while traveling.
When they returned the blade was wrong, so they went back again. I got some of the old steel edging up around the flowerbeds and trimmed some of the weeds from the rosebushes. I also trimmed the pet cemetery and started the process of placing Salem's stone.
We got the blade on and I mowed a bit, but only 10 - 15 minutes in another belt was shredded. It looks like the wheel assembly we replaced was too loose. I will need to go to town tomorrow for another belt.
Steph wanted to give Sadie a chance to wear her Easter dress since it is unclear if Easter services are even a possibility, so we went to take bluebonnet pictures at Justin and Rachel's farm. Don't worry - we didn't visit with anyone, but the pictures were lovely!
Supper was Eggroll in a Bowl. Sadie was excited about that. Storytime was another chapter from Little Town on the Prairie. Around 8 some friends tried a bit of RPG gaming on a combination of Discord and Roll20. It worked surprisingly well.
This is just the strangest time. Fear - warranted or not, I can't tell - is rampant, and then there are those who take the absolute opposite viewpoint. Personally, I think we need to avoid either extreme. But then again, Joe Diffie, who I was big fan of in my earlier days, was announced to have died today of it. Don't know. The information is just so varied.
For a family adventure blog, there isn't much adventuring happening now. It is nice to be with family, but I sure would like to be with family in a tent or camper somewhere. Just not an option right now.
