RE: Meet A Fantastic Chainsaw Carver!
It warmed up pretty good the last couple days and you'd thought from the looks of everybody out and about there was no stay at home order going on. Our counties numbers have been rather low but I give it about a week and we'll see them start going up.
I miss my grand kids outside of that I am pretty much use to hanging low. Sometimes I get emotional overload by letting my thoughts overwhelm me this thing may go on for months. Nightmares of straight out year round winter hibernation.
It IS kind of depressing to think of it going on but I think it may be a couple solid months, probably needs to be.
Too bad you don't live in the country but maybe you wouldn't want to anyway. For this situation it's pretty nice because our lifestyle isn't really affected.
But hey, you have lots of social media to keep you occupied right?
About nine, ten years ago I did try the great escape. Rented out both sides of the duplex and rented a small house out a ways. It wasn't far from a very busy area, maybe a mile, mile and a half up the road to anything you'd need but the small house I rented sat on ten acres and it was the most wonderful thing to look out one of the bedrooms I had for an office and see nothing out there except turkeys and an occasional deer. The bad part was though the house sat thirty feet from the road, a very busy road, so busy you couldn't even open your windows to enjoy all that peace you could see but not hear the quiet that was suppose to go along with it. lol. To tell you the truth it was like sleeping in the middle of a busy interstate. You couldn't sit outside and enjoy it either without that constant zoom of traffic going by. It was so bad you couldn't even talk on a cell phone unless you were way back on the property. The highlight of the week was late on a Sunday night when the traffic would die down a bit and you'd get maybe two to three minutes before another car would come along and ruin it. lol. With not being able to open the windows and all that extra dew out in the country mixed with having well water and the constant condensation from that there was always molds growing on the window sills so after a few months I started coughing all the time. Between that and the huge difference in trying to keep up with two sets of tenants finally after the first year I gave up and didn't renew the lease of one of them and moved back to the city.
Howdy sunlit7! Wow, well you gave it a darn good try at least, you just needed to be farther out. That was a tough situation so it had to feel good to get back to your duplex!
