Not required to stay at home yet, but choosing to do so as much as possible. Prepared some kimchi today, a spicy, fermented cabbage treat from Korea.

We are under a "Stay home except for essential services" order. But we needed to get groceries so went to a farm market where I was able to check out the llamas.

I am a key worker! That means I get to spend the day handling post and money given to me by potential carriers.......................... woohoo! the upside is I get to go out one thing you can say for sure. Things can't be that bad if you can still get a bacon and sausage barm! KP & 50-200



Or a socially distanced butter pie!



Footnote, a butter pie is a Preston (Lancashire) delicacy. It is a pie, filled with potato, butter and nothing else!

We had snow and high winds yesterday, maybe blow the virus out to sea. My old nesting box took a fall. Canon M100, 22mm

Hope this is one of the last snow falls,

2 Days at home and not crazy yet! My business is an Essential Business according to New York State, but all office work still needs to be done from home. Site visits are allowed. We just had the office sanitized because one of staff lives in a two family house where his neighbor, the owner, died from Covid 19 and he didn't think to tell us anything about the owner until Friday. He's self quarantining now.

Today's photo is of some covers for small hand sanitizer bottles that my wife bought thinking they included the sanitizer. Well they're being sent back tomorrow. K-1 &Sigma 24 1.8 Macro
