VT May 7th: 23,486-23,445 = 41 Active Cases:1853 Deaths:249(x4) Recovered:21,384 (91%) Hospital:12(-2) ICU:2(-1) Tests:385,115(+222)
Okay, I officially don't know what's going on with the count. The State's official count of new cases today is 6. Seriously? The math says 41. Where the heck do they get 6? +35 +6 ?
Miyoko and Naomi visited a strawberry stand today. The earliest berries were probably about three weeks ago; today's are a little smaller but sweeter than the first crops. Very nice flavor. The Hmong farmers extended the season considerably, and the strawberries from the big commercial farms over on the coast can't begin to compare to our local ones.
Yum! Thanks for the tip. I'm seeing big strawberries for sale here, but they look under-ripe, so I'm going to wait a bit. They aren't in season here for another 5-6 weeks.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I got to HUG Eldest and VT*Grand today!!! First time since at least last Summer!! We were on serious hug-deprivation, but now we're pretty darn safe. Soooooooooooooo HAPPY!!!!!
