Sunday night dinner, prawn salad with Harissa dip. Thank you Calagrana! So good. Luthers favorite.

US news…
”The resumption of public life is poised to accelerate across wide areas of the country in the coming days and weeks — mostly in Republican-governed states and despite warnings from health experts as Covid-19 cases in the United States near 1 million. You’ll be able to eat out at a restaurant in Tennessee starting tomorrow, potentially congregate in an Idaho church next week and go shopping in Missouri next week”
Face palm.

I also read the epidemic has begun to move outside of the major Metropolitan areas where it has been prevalent until now, into small towns, small cities, and rural areas. Places where there will be more difficulty dealing with due to lack of facilities.

Such a perfect day here today. Here are a few of my own flowers and herbs on my terrace. Also one of the view. It has gotten so green!

Today is day 7️⃣ until the loosening for us prisoners here. We are all looking forward to a small bit of freedom. At least to walk and jog. If not much else. 🌈
Plant looks like purple ajuga. Mint family. Here in Ohio we have a republican gov who has been really good. He’s not reckless. And defers to his doctor sidekick (Dr. Amy) on all things medical. We’ve been lucky, that’s all I can say. He has a daily 2pm press conference that’s come to be known as “wine with DeWine.” 🤓☺️ https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-new-cocktail-hour-your-governors-daily-coronavirus-briefing-11586268450
Great plant tour of your terrace. Is that a rhododendron or a hydrangea? We use aluminum sulfate on our hydrangeas. Supposed to help them be blue…we’ll see when they bloom. It’s the soil that matters. Think they need more acidic soil.
Anyway, great blog as always. Glad to see tarragon is coming back.
Looks like Purple Shield with Salvia.
Add coffee grinds to the Rhodie soil.
