Everyday is the same. Pandemic has taken joy out of living by reducing all socialization. Never realized how loneliness felt month after month.

Husband's skid steer created a 'RUTH STOUT' no-till garden bed. One inch of dirt spread directly over lawn grass. Potato seed and giant pumpkins set on top of dirt, then 6 to 8 inches of hay/straw covers the area. Also trying a potato tower in the first row of old tires.

Think your canned goods last forever??? Found this soup can from 2011. When opened it produced a hard-as-rock lump only 1/5 the size of the can. Water all evaporated, salt crystals visible on the dehydrated rock.

I have fond memories of eating my mom's homemade #CannedChicken on the farm. But after seeing these pics...I don't know if it's something I'd still enjoy 25 years later.

Best #HandWashing demonstration that I have ever seen.

#DomesticViolence rates expected to spike amid social distancing and self isolation, Global News Edmonton.

Please check on your neighbors, friends & family...even if it means pushing a note under a door, taping a message to their car, or sending an email.

@AmyRizzo3 Still waiting for the 'go-mode' to kick in here. Hopefully today is the day.

Do you think celebrities ever look back on their fashion choices and cringe?

Or do they just chalk it up to 'the times' and don't give it another thought?

Makes you wonder which stylist was fired over this?

@SuneelUpadhye @trekonomicsbot Damn that's a classic scene from an iconic movie.

Thanx for reminding me. Now it's time to dig up the DVD and pop it in the machine.

Mom said we had to stay in the house. I'm pretty sure this counts during #SelfIsolation from the #CoronaVirus.

[Lynne Martin @LynneMartin47]

When nobody is watching what to want to watch on T.V. and you're stuck in the house for #SelfIsolation during the #CoronaVirus.

Oh look...a display case for your most prized possession.

Some people don't listen, won't follow basic instructions like #NoParking in front of a fire hydrant.

Are these the same people filling bars tomorrow night for #StPatricksDay2020 and then crying to be tested when they're sick next week? Afraid they picked up the #CoronaVirus.

1. Catch up on #Netflix new releases. DONE!

2. Organize #Tupperware cupboard. DONE!

3. Delete 100's of old emails. DONE!

4. Wash all the light fixtures....ARE YOU CRAZY? Can't have all my fun in just 3 days.

What are you putting off???

[Lynne Martin @LynneMartin47]

I actually have the skill and the ingredients at home to make these eye-catching deserts. (As long as my husband doesn't mind me melting down a handful of his chocolate bars).

Mind you, all my ice trays are rectangular, not square. Don't think that should matter much though.

Every movie I watch, I find myself absentmindedly shaking my head when perfect strangers greet each other with a handshake, or kiss on the cheek.

I wonder, has the #CoronaVirus changed our perception of what a appropriate greeting is long term...or will we revert right back?

@landpsychology Stunning photo. I think I can even see the photographer's image in the right eye of the leopard.

Most of us in North America will live our lives without ever witnessing this astonishing beauty other than on a computer screen.

And because of these kind of ignorant people, the virus will spread, and they could pass it to someone without the resilience to fight it.

People who put their own personal need to 'party and holiday' ahead of those who have compromised immune systems is...disgusting.

Benidorm + Coronavirus = Managerial mayhem!

As Spain becomes the fourth most infected nation in the world… Some Brits are doing their best to avoid virus precautions and carry on with their holiday as normal.

[Lynne Martin @LynneMartin47]

Stocked up on food and toiletries.

Now searching for....

1. Crib-board and Backgammon
2. New/unopened movies from Xmas
3. Unread paperbacks from holidays
4. 'Snuggie' blankets we swore we'd never use

#SelfIsolation is going to take a little planning.
