In a few days I will probably start a last batch of seeds ...

Just keep going....
A Friend send me this music video. She said it helped a friend of hers and her family to stay positive while stuck in Ghana, waiting to get back to Canada.
Stopping to smell the flowers (or being mindful of allergies and imaging smelling them). This was a lovely little fringe garden outside a wooden gate - the "weeds" and the tulips in the grass look beautiful and vibrant.
More lovely weeds.
Daffodils outside lovely pickett fence.

It's a cute older neighbourhood. Most houses were built from about 1920-1970, combination of styles through the decades...a few newer ones. There are a lot of young families around, brightening it up in the past few years.

When my brother was in hospice care in Victoria, I went for a walk outside the hospital grounds & in the spring sunshine one day - in a neighbourhood that your photos are reminding me of - it was so pleasant to feel the sunshine & see the blooms. Thanks for sharing your excursion.

Lastpointe, Do you live in a place big enough that there’d be a store that supports online shopping? Here in Victoria there are two. The staff put your order together. You can just pick it up. My sister in Kamloops does that. I had been doing online shopping for a while, but I also chose delivery.
It was hard to figure out how find an open slot for delivery. Formerly, in old life that seems eons ago, it was trivial. I was rummaging around on the site and I found a statement that the slots reset on Tuesday. It was late Monday night. I waited. Sure enough, at midnight they reset.
Put the perishables away and leave the rest for three days. The should kill any viruses.

Some more daffodils before they're on their way out...

Someone decided to have their Christmas lights on. The purple and gold twinkle looks nice against the tree blossoms and pink sunset.

There are a number of houses in my neighbourhood who have put up Christmas lights, one has put out all their Christmas and Halloween blow up decorations (which my puppy must guard me from every time).

Carolla said:So it got me reflecting on my own practices, and also wondering what my friends here have found helpful to 'worry less' in times of stress - not just now, but perhaps things you learned or adopted at another time that are now having some 'resurrection' (Easter reference intended).
I learned early enough that there are spheres of concern and spheres of influence.
I can be concerned about a great number of things.
I can only influence, relatively speaking, much fewer things.
If I invested all my mental energy in what I cannot control I would be lost and fearful. So instead, I invest most of my time and energy into the things I can control.
It might keep my focus narrow. Nose to the grindstone does that. Not that I am a burn the candle from both ends or burn the midnight oil kind of personality. I know my limits and respect them.
