Negative

 

Now to get my energy level back!

Completed anti-viral this morning.  I will have to mask in public for awhile.

Bummer!

 Back from a wonderful vacation last Saturday, but when a sore throat started the morning of our return trip home, I figured a test was necessary on Sunday morning.

My first ever positive test.  So at the urging of youngest daughter I called the doctor on call and she prescribed Paxlovid - 5 day regime of drugs morning and night to mitigate this virus.  I will take another test on Friday to see whether I can come out of isolation.

Dan has tested negative twice now and no one else in the family has tested positive.  I have no idea where or when I was exposed.

More Blooms

 

These blooms are in the deck garden.

Creeping thyme.

Dahlias preparing to bloom

Lungwort or is it spider wort?

Day lily.

I think this one is a volunteer from the birdseed.

Bee balm, shasta daisies and now a gladiola.

The gladiolas and shasta daisies were once at the end of the deck when it was twice the size it is now.  I'm glad they didn't mind being transplanted.  I think the shasta daisies are a new favorite because they just keep on blooming.

And with this post I'm taking a bit of a break from posting.  I'll be back soon.

Two Summer Regulars

 

Monarch butterflies are around now. Captured on my iPhone camera with editing for the close up.  The butterfly was aware of me and would fly away if I got too close.

Blueberry pie almost gone on Friday night.

Devoured for breakfast by two granddaughters, Dan and me.
