We're two days into our extended lockdown. We were originally told to stay home for three weeks. A few days before the end of this period, the president asked us to stay indoors and home for a further two weeks. Who knows what will happen on 1 May.
I have enjoyed being home. I still go into the farm office, across the lawn, three mornings a week. When I get home, though, there is no travelling. I am running my Weigh-Less groups virtually from my outdoor office which I posted about in the previous post. No doubt you'll see more about Mum's outdoor office from Ambrose' post on Sunday!
At the same time, I get to spot and photograph birds and critters in my garden.
African Hoopoe
House sparrow
A grasshopper in my garden at the moment
I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here
Be safe out there !
