Quarantine

It has been 3 months that we have quarantined ourselves and our accomplishments shows our strength and weaknesses.

I started by uprooting myself from my apartment and moving in with my friend’s family.

She works as a social worker in the emergency room at an hospital in NYC- she needed help with her son staying home from school- her husband has MS, and being careful with all the COVID 19 infections she knew I’ll keep them safe- some of her family and friends actually distanced themselves due to her going out into the infected world for fear of infecting them!!! What a shame, she really took it to heart!

I uprooted the grass and worked into a garden:

Planted some herbs and moved on to cutting trees :

Last but least of it all…

Grew an orange tree
Avocado tree
My favorite plant finally bloomed
Rooted ginger and this was the result
Planted tomatoes and we are getting results
Keep up with hydrangeas
Graduation drive in party
We had visitors
Cat made herself at home
Seen majestic trees being cut down

But must of all we have learned to live and enjoy each day despite the hardships and quarantine- we will never be what we were but hopefully we have become better at accepting what is to come…

    That’s really sad. It is one thing to mask and keep a bit of physical distance. You can do that and still keep a relationship. It is quite another to distance the relationship itself.

  5. How amazing of you to move in with a friend’s family to help. You are a gift to the world. And I’m so glad you’re getting outside time as well. Fresh air has been a godsend and there’s nothing quite as lovely during this time as nurturing growth. Be well, my friend. ❤

  6. You are such a good friend – something dearly needed right now. I have accomplished a few things but mostly I have been calling friends and neighbors who are more isolated. It is almost 100 degrees here so I struggle to garden. Longing for rain…

  9. It’s so sad that her family and friends distanced themselves. This whole pandemic has made me feel really isolated and alone already. I couldn’t imagine how she must’ve felt after having to go through that! Your gardening looks great! And the kitty is so cute!
