They have no issue with "stay at home" - and what are the options?

Michigan has the 3rd highest number of Covid cases in the nation, so Gov. Whitmer today has extended the stay-at-home order until end of April. No surprise, and hopefully this will stem the spread.

Remy and Chambord have no issue adhering to the stay-at-home order!

I ventured out for grocery shopping today, masked and gloved, of course. Busch's, one of the smaller stores, was quiet and the few customers kept their distance. Just such an unreal feeling. JP and I are used to make more frequent grocery runs as opposed to the once a month big shebang, but we have adapted. The routine now is to unpack everything in the sunroom, I disinfect each and every item with rubbing alcohol, and then we bring the items in the house.

While yesterday was a perfect day for a trail ride, today the Michigan April weather was in "pleine forme": Sunshine, followed by rain, followed by hail, topped with snow, and all that adorned with high winds. This plus a flooded riding arena gave the boys the day off to hang out on the large porch next to the barn, munching hay. 

Despite rain, hail, and snow: Our Osterglocken are ready to greet Easter!

Roz had send an email to her students to see if people were interested in remote lessons, i.e. via Face Time or another product. Unfortunately, it won't work for us, as we only have the (currently flooded) outdoor arena -that also features a tree in it-, and both JP and I are no tech geeks. With the stay at home order I can't hire someone to help either. 

Guess I will have to hire JP once the weather calms down. As I currently have no income I'm happy that he takes payment in the form of my German chocolate red wine cake. 

However, Roz better has a supply of Dramamine on hand before she watches the WhatsApp video.

A cozy place makes staying at home easy!
