How Does Your Garden Grow?

Since we're all spending many more hours at home these days, I'm wondering if that includes more garden time for you? It certainly has for me. I'd love to see what's growing in your backyard! Here's what ours looks like:


It turns out we have a bumper crop of rosemary, so if any of you want some, let us know and we'll put some out front, or let you harvest your own! And thanks to neighbors Paul and Maureen, our gardening partners!!

Let's Flatten the Curve!

Are you in crisis mode with COVID-19? What can we do about it? Here's two videos that may help.

Firstly, we can help "flatten the curve". What's that you ask? Here's a video that shows what it is, and why fighting Coronavirus depends on each of us: https://youtu.be/dSQztKXR6k0

 Secondly, we can wash our hands! Why? Well, this second video shows how just a little bit of soap, for 20 seconds, will kill the virus germs.

Thanks to Doug for this timely share of video resources. Do you have anything to add?  Comment on this post, or write a post yourself! Need an invitation to become an author for this neighborhood blog? Write me! Need help remembering (or learning for the first time) how to write a blog post? Just ask - it's easy to do!

Maybe It's Time

Maybe it's time to revive our neighborhood blog. Or maybe it's time to try something new. Lately I've been using Slack, an instant messaging tool with capabilities far beyond what that description implies. Tied together with Zoom video sharing and Google Drive online storage, it facilities community building for groups of various sizes. And now may be just the time for us to try it. If interested, drop me a line - you know who I am and how to do it! If not, suggest others ways to get together!
