Social Distancing Day 20

We are all still safe and at home. My husband and I are working from home and the kids are doing their school work from home. My son is getting speech therapy via Zoom conferences as well. We allow our older two girls to do zoom with a select few friends so they can still interact with their friends. They are 14 and 12 and don't have their own phones, however we are letting them use ours to do video chats with friends.

I've planted a row of corn and some lettuces, spinach, radishes, leeks, onions. cabbages and broccoli. A friend brought over some Early Girl tomatoes that were looking pretty rough, but I went ahead and planted them and tried to love them back into existence. We shall see. We still have plenty of food. I'm beginning to have to be a bit more creative with our meals, but we are very blessed and doing fine. What I wouldn't give for some fresh produce though right now!

We are trying to stay positive for the kids- but with the death and hospitalizations and all, it's scary. We are staying home and hopefully, that will protect us. I know others aren't able to stay home, and my heart goes out to them. But for now, we are just trying to make the best of it.

How are you all doing amidst the chaos?
