I got this one from my youngest son:

"DeJoy wanted to issue a Donald Trump stamp but a market study showed that 65% of Americans would spit on the front side while the other 35% would lick the back side."

This sounds like a very good idea to me.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

So a few weeks ago I ordered some Asiatic lily bulbs, which I've never grown before.

They look to be in good shape and are starting to sprout. When I looked up how to plant them I learned that they should be planted in the fall. I don't think they can wait that long.

If I plant now, what are my chances of them surviving? I don't expect any flowers this year.

I am really enjoying this sense of freedom that the Covid vaccine has given me.

After spending nearly a year in semi-isolation, skipping Thanksgiving, Christmas and other traditional family gatherings, we are nearly all fully vaccinated. I have spent 4 out of the last 5 weekends away from home visiting family and friends who are also fully vaccinated. It has been wonderful just sitting around and talking, drinking wine, preparing meals together and listening to music without worry. By next month another family group will be fully vaccinated and we're all going camping.

I haven't entirely thrown caution to the wind. I still wear a mask on public transportation and anywhere it's requested. I wore a mask last week when I got my hair cut. I haven't been in a large store yet, but I will wear a mask then, as well as any other crowded indoor facility. The vaccination rate is slow in Arkansas with only 30% fully vaccinated right now, so I don't feel like completely shedding the mask just yet.

This is pretty amazing.
