Day 4

Day 4 of furlough...
I unintentionally slept in this morning.  I took an antihistamine last night because my eyes were so itchy, possibly because of allergies.  But I took it past 12midnight that it had kept me drowsy even this morning.  Eventually I was able to get myself out of bed -- but annoyed at myself for missing already a few hours in the day.  I'm hoping to do better tomorrow.
Today we went to Lowes to get some supplies for the planter box project. The planter box has been built weeks ago. However, we need to protect the plants / vegetables, that I'm planning to plant, from squirrels. The squirrels have been notoriously messing up with any plants that I've been planting in my pots.  So we need to have these extra precautions before planting any vegetables in the planter box. We got this idea to add arches made of pipes to use as frame for the netting to go over it.  We also got some vegetable seedlings and/or plants for the planter box.  I think this will be awesome.  I am hoping that I will have plenty to harvest in months time -- or even weeks time.
We also went to the grocery to get some essentials, including garlic and onion, that I'm hoping to propagate to plant in the planter box.
When we got home Chris already started adding the pipes to make arches for the planter box.  It's going to be amazing! I will try to post pictures later.
I tried something new today called Mochi Ice Cream - I'll post the details on my happyfoodtrip.com blog.  You can check it out some of my blog entries there by clicking on the link.
Last but not the least, we attended a virtual worship service this evening.  We have had to attend it virtually for the past few weeks because of the Safer at Home order for the county, and now recently decided for the whole state.
The day was not as jammed packed as I had hoped it would be. But I think overall it was still a very productive, well spent day.
