April, first half

 Philip got a new office...or rather, he started working in his "once a week" office full time. He loves it.

 Evelyn playing her game with her friends (they are only present in her vivid imagination).

 Daniel, the bagel king.

 Sunday bike rides became a new happening thing.

 The roads can't get locked down, can they?

 Fancy Sunday dinner.

 Plus a fire. Hard to feel like Sunday is Sunday when you stay home all day, but we tried!

 I have never liked shopping, but Covid restrictions have made it even less enjoyable for me. And putting limits on how many bags of milk I can buy (1 per family, are you crazy???) don't make me a cheerful customer.

 Fortunately at home we can forget about all the craziness. Time to let all the rink "ice" out! Spring is coming!!

 I wondered what all the up-and-down-the-stairs noise was the first day of April. Can you believe my coffee mill was completely filled with "coffee" in the wee hours of the morning? Nathan was cranky about all the noise, but I thought it was hilarious!! (not that I was fooled to drink steeped black pepper!)

 Sure, I'll help cook the "no-it-wasn't-me" elf her breakfast! (heehee)

 Not sure about eating purple eggs. Try them, Jennifer, try them and you may, I say!

 Why do your math inside, when you can do it in the sun?

 I think of Norman Rockwell paintings when I see this shot...Jennifer is just telling Daniel something in a "I know better than you" way. :p

School

 is

 almost

 done

we

 hope.

 Sunday strolls were regularly done on the golf course.

 Yes, Jennifer goes without her shoes when it's super cold, if she is allowed. Brr!

 Time for a game of scrub.

 The kids all got a taste of Skype piano lessons.

 Their teacher would not believe it cost me $10 an hour for data

 even on my home internet plan. Surely I was confused.

 Wish my bill was confused!

 All but Evelyn adapted ok to the new style of teaching. What else can you do? At least learning piano can go on, even if the economy stopped.

 The Beast (old rototiller) did it's last job for me, tilling up a spot for Melanie's strawberries. It overheated in 5 minutes, so I decided it had kicked the bucket for real, this time.

 Snow again!!

 Evelyn keeping an eye on the sick chicken to make sure she doesn't eat things in my garden. (or is it Melanie's garden now that her strawberries are going in it?)

Shopping sucks! 2.5 hours to get my weekly groceries done. What a nighmare. I was so cranky by the time I saw the cashier, thirsty, hungry and ready for a nap! The lineup started in a corner of the store that I'd never seen before. Oh for a normal shopping trip!!
