VT*Grand as Evie tonight in Descendants gave an excellent performance, from expressions and gestures to clear speaking and truly beautiful vocals! Her singing voice has such a rich quality, and we were deeply impressed.
I would have worn a mask, although not an N95, for this sort of large indoor gathering. I also expect to wear one for my retinal exam Wednesday. And for the two science fiction conventions I will be attending in the next couple of months. One of them specifically requires masks as well as vaccination.

We will be picking our cherries this afternoon; the ones lower on the trees are easy to see because of deer eating away the leaves! Miyoko saw a ground squirrel running along the top of the back fence, heading toward one of the cherry trees-- but s/he wasn't leading a group! We will see, but the cherries, although not numerous, look good. This year I sprayed them properly with spinosad-- the only spray that is not toxic, natural, and prevents damage by the two-spotted vinegar flies. Whether it kills them or they just don't like the taste or smell, I don't know. --Alan
It might be a little early to pick the cherries--but I prefer my fruit riper than does my good wife, and she wants to share them with friends tomorrow/today (Sunday). We only had a few (5?) with vinegar fly larvae in them; we find them by soaking the cherries in dark-colored plastic bowls, which makes them come out. --Alan
So, I did go to the march today and my youngest son went with me for support. I re-used my two-sided sign and son was amused because multiple people asked to photo it - both sides.

ReplyDeleteWe wore our N95s. I'd say about 5% of the people present were masked. Heh.
DeleteIt seems to be about the same here. We shall remain more careful than average.

It looks like this first generation IPad is easier to navigate with

Wow. You're picking cherries and around here our fruit trees are just beginning to bloom! They're a week or two late, but they look great.
DeleteSpent the day working in the gardens, planted a few rose bushes and a Lavender, and did a ton of mulching. Now a few days of rain...so a rest!
