I'm set for NOW but this will go on a very long time and I'm looking to build up a collection. Our fireworks on the lake are happening but not sure about anything else. I hope not.

I actually wondered if Canada Day celebrations would be canceled here or not, but then we are so rural we likely wouldn't have attended anyway. I'm hoping to find a farmer's market here in the next week, with my mask at the ready, though New Brunswick has been pretty safe lately, you just never know. Congratulations on the hair cuts!!! :) Small pleasures huh? Seeing those kayaking photos reminds me of when I was an avid kayaker, that's one thing I want to start doing again, but maybe next summer! :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-49802329931421405212020-06-28T08:45:28.707-04:002020-06-28T08:45:28.707-04:00Good morning.

Neighbors on our street asked the town for a permit for a block party and it was approved, although that really just means the kids here (about 6 or so) can run and ride their bikes without cars driving past. I don't believe it will be a big party... just a handful of families sitting out (as they had all been doing anyway) and maybe some offerings of food. We know many of the people on the block and might distance visit with a few of them briefly, but we usually prefer to keep to our backyard. <br />Ron would love to take one of his kayaks to the Batsto area and enjoy a half day trip on the river. He just hasn't had the chance to go yet. <br />I'm glad you're enjoying the library curbside service and the market. Lovely blooms!! Thanks for sharing all the nice photos. ~Mary CrystalChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778302473630157009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-6504448380644912722020-06-27T20:27:21.662-04:002020-06-27T20:27:21.662-04:00Your region seems similar to ours, but we don'...Your region seems similar to ours, but we don't have indoor dining yet, and there are no sports events going on.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-60016692815283533142020-06-27T20:11:18.366-04:002020-06-27T20:11:18.366-04:00Glad you got out for a nice bit of wine and sunshi...Glad you got out for a nice bit of wine and sunshine. It is scary that some places have so many cases, but I think for the most part things are reopening at a good pace. We all need some normalcy in our lives, don't we? And I love your patriotic masks. Those a great. And they arrived so quickly. I should get my daughter to make us some as all of ours have a Christmas feel as that is what she has for fabric. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

It sounds like most people are following social distancing and wearing masks.<br /><br />The opposite is happening here. The number of new COVID-19 cases passed 9000, the highest per day so far. And the state closed bars.<br />I still see people at stores without masks. <br /><br />Stay safe, Beatrice.

We only dine out with friends or family that are as socially responsible as we try to be. As for our library, its still closed but we generally don't use it anyway. We own a lot of books! Some farmer's markets are open around here but to stay safer we go out to our local Mennonite Markets...easier to space and masks required. Suprisingly enough, new home building here is still booming! Must be for older folks who find themselves out of work but who heve enough money to just retire. As for boating, we are the small boat building center of the eastern USA...and they can't hire eoungh people to keep up with the demand! Boating provides a safe diversion for folks who are bored and stuck at home...

If everything works well I will look forward to buying produce fresh from the farm there. Even in normal times I always made sure to arrive early, before the crowds, so I will continue to do that, and I should be in and out quickly - perhaps with a basket of fresh peaches to drip down my chin! Restaurants here have patio service open and I believe that modified inside seating is now available, but since we rarely eat out, it is not a big factor for us. I much prefer to go to the aforementioned farmers market, buy good fresh produce and cook it myself. Good friends of ours, anxious to get out I suppose, recently ate lunch on one of the recently opened patios, and tried a new (to them) restaurant. They said the quality was mediocre at best, and they were forty bucks poorer when they left. Think I will stick with my own cooking!David M.

I know I've shared this before, but Nashua is such a charming-looking town. <br /><br />Same here, things like July 4th parade and fireworks are cancelled. Our restaurants too are now offering outside seating. You're right, weekdays are much more enjoyable than weekends because of the crowds. I don't know if you remember the Reading Terminal Market in Philly, but that is now open. Although, I can't imagine though how they're doing it because it's enclosed and very tightly laid out. And at lunch time, it's a busy and packed with people. It's like a zoo.<br /><br />I just purchased some masks that I got at Target. They came 2 in a pack and are washable. And I thought the price was great...$4.00 for TWO.<br /><br />You flowers photos are so pretty.
