Creative Quarantine-Time, April 2020

Outside Time

April weather is usually pretty wonderful in Texas. We often travel this time of year and end up missing out. But, with stay-at-home restrictions, we got to enjoy every single pretty day.

We avoided others on early morning walks and runs. We dared to have a picnic with our own chairs...

And we enjoyed our balcony, which is something we haven't done in over a decade! I can't exactly complain.

Quarantine Birthday

Instead of feeling frustrated by my lockdown birthday, I felt a little bit special. Not everybody will get to celebrate a Covid-Quarantine-Pandemic-Birthday this year.

Don managed a funny birthday treat, with cookies and candy and candle. My neighbor surprised me with birthday torte! Very yummy!

Celebrating 

I didn't ask Don how he managed to shop. I was excited that I had some goodies to open. The 1000-piece puzzle, was a perfect pandemic birthday gift!

The best part of my day, was a Birthday Zoom with the kids! We like to add a theme to our Zooms... Western Theme for April! Don't ask why.

Quarantine Activities 

This month involved a lot more cooking and a lot more puzzle work. 

"Alexa" provided us with lots of entertainment, while we cooked and puzzled. There was a lot of dancing in the kitchen in April. No photos.

Masks and Gloves

I wore my mask and gloves when I went out... all of about 2 times in April. (Besides walks and runs) 

I wore a different kind of mask and gloves, when FaceTiming with friends.

Quarantine Easter
​
It was quiet in our house on Easter. But it usually is. Our kids haven't been around on Easter for many years.

So we just invited a bunch of bunnies to our Easter dinner. They graciously watched us dine.

Ukulele

The ukes got played a lot in April.

I wish I could say I've improved tremendously, with the intrument. I have not, but we've had some fun. Don is a very patient ukulele partner. I so wish we could both sing!

This was the best Quarantine April, I think I will ever have!
