Craziness

It has been a long week between Dave being sick with his head cold and then me coming down with the same sinus virus. Then of course the Coronavirus pandemic on top of everything! Although supplies of so many items are flying off the shelves everywhere in the U.S. now (why toilet paper?!), I actually made it to our Winn Dixie Grocery Store today and they were quite stocked up with most items. If we need to stay away from people, we are now set. However, the weather here is beautiful and perfect for being outside where the sun is shining and hopefully keeping the virus away. We will avoid crowds, but will take motorcycle rides, swim in the outdoor pool, and hopefully take our boats out. Today we headed down to Sandsprit Park, to see if the pandemic has made a difference with people's plans. The boat launch parking lot was packed, plus there were still small groups having parties. and others lined up along the waterfront watching all the boating activity.

And wow, the weekend boaters were definitely out with this being THE spot to watch it all. This is the junction of the ICW/Indian River, St. Lucie Inlet, Manatee Pocket, and the St.Lucie River that heads west to the Okeechobee Waterway.

Then there were the parties out at the Sandbar with boats, kids, and dogs galore. I don't know about the people, but the boats seemed to be practicing 'social distancing.'

As usual, the Monk Parakeets, which look like small green parrots, were oblivious to all of the activity and continued their own craziness of flying between trees, calling to their mates, and building nests.

These are definitely crazy times we are in right now. Stay healthy everyone!
