We joined the local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) by purchasing a half share for the summer. We have since learned that they were successful in selling all shares this year. We received our first share Thursday.
I continue to see more and more wildflowers on my walks around the neighborhood, these on a hillside at Arroyo Park.
Besides putting organic cedar bark mulch around the plants on our front yard, we also have put out hanging planters of colorful flowers.
We repaired the crumbling stone wall that separates our property from the middle unit; they have beautiful yellow flowers that go over the wall.
We ordered two new chairs for the patio. Amazon first said they would arrive June 22, then between June 12 and 22 - they arrived on June 4.
After putting them together, Patty tried one - we like them.
They go well with the other two chairs we have.
We shopped for a rug and pillows for the patio, but have not decided which ones to buy.
As advertised, the "strawberry" moon was amazing.
I have read that the spring winds are intense but that is normal - several times the wind has been strong enough to move the carpets we have place over the rocks (the rocks bother our dog's feet).
Much as with the Carlyle in Phoenix, I have been attending HOA board meetings and bringing issues to them.
And we continue to not visit restaurants or bars, nor go to any gatherings nor have any guests visit. We keep masks and hand sanitizer in the car so that we are prepared if we go to a store. And all the news is bad; this is from the headlines on June10:
Maricopa County public health officials urged individuals to take more vigilant action against the rising tide of COVID-19 by avoiding groups, wearing masks, washing hands and heeding other precautions.
The county, like the rest of Arizona, has seen significant jumps in case numbers in the past two weeks, causing concern among some experts that the state is headed in the wrong direction.
County public health officials on Wednesday discussed the significant case increases, warning individuals of rising community spread and recommending they take precautions to slow COVID-19.
