Tuesday: Well, I definitely did not center my psyche while grocery shopping on my early foray into the wilds of senior hours at a small-store Walmart and a local supermarket. Frustrations mounted with the whole venture this morning culminating in acknowledging I need another whole think on where I put my shopping energy and resources next, now that we are beginning vaccinated emergence from isolate life. My beloved Allentown Road farm market has some nice produce but recently, the offerings must be sorted--those derived from local and Lancaster County from those hauled in from out-of-state. Hmmm.
So, I'm wading through pandemic quandaries for basics again as many others likely are. The Walmart curbside pickup this past year has become really efficient and pretty darn good with lots of organic choices. Maybe that will be a mainstay for the near future since I'm finding no Zen in grocery shopping as yet.
Wednesday: Whew! Can't think too hard because far more questions emerge than there could possibly be a supply of answers.
So let's review a bit. The Easter dinner on Sunday at the farm in our vax bubble proved to fulfill last week's post pipe dream of what I envision in my food future since we were enjoying time at the table once more.
The afternoon began in the kitchen when I arrived...

Wendy is still cutting Keoni's hair. He likes her haircuts better than the local shop. |
The breeze was still a little too chilly for outdoor dining but sitting down together was hugely satisfying, nonetheless. We had good food and sat there a long time enjoying conversation.
Wendy took me on an upstairs tour of the new parakeet additions to the family...

And, of course, Picasso! He still loves Wendy and her hair; even attacks her hairband if she pulls it back. |

Likely, Vashti is a mystery, but he's the main character in a children's book about Art, The Dot. |

And Paula shared her March color impressions with us that echo the southwestern desert so well. |

And, one of the cactus originally on my patio is still alive and doing well at Paula and Carl's. Hello, Desert Springtime. I miss you. |
Aww love the photo with Wendy and her Birdy.
