A dreary wet-ish day last Thursday (16th), kept the beach walkers away and gave us a chance to stretch our legs during this coronavirus 'stay at home'/lock-down.

Good to see our tax dollars still at work - local sheriff patrol much appreciated on the beach and in the water as well as on our streets.
On the domestic front, my 'regrow your lettuce' experiment (29 March post) has had mixed results,
but at least I finished my first (and only?!?) pine needle basket - it is a slow process!
Plus I made a few masks for the homeless in response to an urgent call from the county emergency operations center to our church.

Praise! My small church had less than 1 week to respond to the call for 100 homemade masks for the homeless. The call came from the county emergency operations center. We made 234!
