ALMOST EVERYTHING CAN BE WAITED OUT

Hello dear friends,  Happy June! How ARE you? Are you enjoying more freedoms? My life here on the Island is about the same. The grocery store and pharmacy have the same restrictions as does my monthly trip to the Wal-Mart in Ellsworth where there are still long lines outside to limit the number of shoppers allowed in at one time. I found out the hard way t hat the store isn't accepting returns until after the pandemic. 😒  It was a very warm day and my feet were killing me by the time I got into the store to customer service and absorbed that information into my little brain (I should have realized it) but... I practiced kindness, as did they.💖 Finally we have love!y weather and pretty flowers growing. I have been reading all your blogs but not commenting much. To be honest, I have had to have a good "talking to myself" which, so far, I have ignored. 😏 I am my mother's daughter after all, and if she won't listen to me, why should I?  I

The Island is finally greening up and there are other colors showing themselves also, forsythia, flowering trees, lilacs, and tulips to name a few.   Oh, the joy of it all!  The colors make  my heart sing when driving up and down the Island! Here, at the homestead, though, we are not so fortunate. The deer are busy munching away on all the green shoots coming up in my flower beds. I would not mind if they feasted on the skunk cabbage and rhubarb but they leave them alone and go after my ornamental lilies, etc, that I have put a lot of time and money into. Grrrr. skunk cabbage I have put up deterrents to no avail. Oh, well, I am not giving up. Nooo sir-ree. I will go early to Ellsworth for my eye appointment next week and go to Home  Depot if they are open and see about taller fencing. I'm no
