Lundy Says-Amusing Info from Lundy Wilder

Doing my part to stay safe and help others I made two facemasks from paper. Just happened we had recently bought a new shopvac and with it was a brand new huge white vacuum bag. It was not marked HEPA but I used it anyway. On a site called Sweet Red Poppy is a downloadable pattern for a mask that you can sew from fabric or like I did, glue a paper one together. I recently got some delightful cocktail napkins from Caspari online so I decided to cover my mask with a charming print by Parvaneh Holloway , one of my favorite Caspari artists. These napkins are printed in Germany and have perfect registration and vivid colors. I used the "adult" pattern for both mine and Ken's mask and altho Ken's fit him great (he is quite tall) mine was a bit big so if I make any more masks, I'll use the "teenage" size for me.

I am shocked, can't believe that Blogspot even still exists. And I can't believe that my own original blog still exists.  Flash forward a bazillion years, and as I have given up on FB, I am thinking of posting to my old fun blog instead.

But in light of the 'pandemic' maybe 'disaster' is too strong of a word for a garden. We had a summer, last summer, of record high temps, at least record high for our old bodies, and we let the garden GO ! We lost a lot of great perennials but maybe they weren't well suited for here. Most summers are quite a bit cooler than summers...
