Hello everyone on this chilly Saturday.  I hope you are feeling well today and not too worried over all this coronavirus fears that seem to abound right now.  People are afraid, worried and panicking even when this virus hasn’t even come to their community.  Like here.  No virus detected here yet, but people are already in panic mode.  But really, all we need to do is use some common sense about this.  People are buying stuff at stores like they won’t be able to go out again for the rest of the year.  People are pushing and shoving, trying to get the most they can before someone else does.  I think people need to calm down a bit and think logically about this.  Panic doesn’t help anything, just makes things worse, and it causes more stress in people’s lives.  Time to slow down.  We do need to take precautions, but what is going on right now is just crazy.

So let’s sit back and enjoy some of nature’s beauty I found out here on Thursday…

We had ice fog the other night and it produced some beautiful frost on everything so I am sharing some pics I took that morning.  It was actually quite beautiful that morning.

This was a branch on my landlord’s walnut tree, the whole tree looked like this.

So here we have all the beauty to look at, so much better than worrying and stressing about things.  I hope you enjoy this little look at art in nature once again.  Have a great weekend everyone and God bless!

Good morning and Happy Saturday everyone!  It is a bit chilly out there again this morning with a temp of -18C (0F).  I went shopping yesterday.  Wow, that was crazy.  People were out buying everything they could get their hands on.  Shelves were bare, especially certain shelves.  People coughing and sneezing all over the place.  I couldn’t even find cleaning supplies.  One guy had a cart overflowing with paper towels.  This stuff wasn’t on sale, people were just panicking.  Oddly, people were not buying a lot of food, just other stuff.  They don’t want to eat?  So I was able to buy food anyway.  It’s going to be a bit hard to finish my cleaning however.  Sigh.  Hopefully the store will get more in stock one of these days.

But on a more cheery note, let’s look at some bright and beautiful flowers…

Starting off with this “Canada anemone” which is a nice bright white and looks great with a background of greenery.

And here we have an equally bright “fringed loosestrife” which grows on the hill behind my apartment.  Well, I hope you like this bright addition to your day.  I thought a bit of cheery brightness would be good these days.  So although some of the pics will be of the same types of flowers used before, I will try to use pics taken from a different angle.

I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday and God bless!
