The gift of time

Chilly walks around the deserted neighborhood.
A hour of outdoor exercise, scraping off the moss and winter slime.
Isolated in the car, a drive down to stormy Alki Beach for change of scene.
Puzzle #1 bites the dust.
On to the next.
Honing those food prep skills: big knife vs little garlic.

 Knife wins.
 Shrimp, orzo pasta, basil, garlic and tomatoes.
Wine.
Online shopping. In time of plague, God Bless the FedEx drivers. A new meditation pillow can't hurt?

Stress crocheting.
"Idle hands are the devil's playthings."

And of course, books.

Jane Austin. What can you say about her novels? Nothing much happens, but so much happens. Like life during a pandemic. Time is a gift. Slow down and take notice of what really matters. Reach out to the ones you love. We're all going to be fine on toilet paper.

Depending on the size of the computer screen you have, you might want to check out a website called "Jigsaw Planet" -- it's free to sign up for, you can upload the picture of your choice (your own or off the web) and make a jigsaw out of it -- you select the style of pieces, how many pieces,which way the pieces will be oriented (all the same way, or random) etc. You are also free to work any puzzle from any user who elects to share their puzzles.
