View from Convento de Cristo once a Templar stronghold

Day 46:

This is what I've been doing; remaking my little garden.  I'm calling it a keyhole garden as the area lined with brick edging forms a keyhole and the idea is that once everything I've planted grows to size it will be full and lush and one will only have a little view thru to the back where there is a small stone sitting area with GP's BBQ raised on an alter of sorts.  (His priority, not mine).  I have 2 olives, 2 kiwi, a lemon and an apricot.  I have pots of tomatoes and a full herb garden.  If I'm stuck here I want to have something to keep me busy!

I've been keeping up on flights and the reopening of Countries and States.  I'm worried that Maine will see a terrible increase in contagion once all the summer people start flooding in.  I realize everyone just wants to return to normal and businesses are hurting badly, but let me tell you as a witness to one of the world's "hot spots", it ain't pretty.  All day long we hear ambulances.  Every evening at 6 the news announces the numbers: the newly diagnosed, the hospitalized, the deaths and thankfully the "cured".  But are they cured?  Can they be reinfected?  Nobody knows fer Chrissakes!  Hopefully I will be able to get home this June and I will be self quarantining for 2 weeks.  (Will someone bring me food?)  I just pray that people do not take this too lightly.  No place is immune. 

Stay well.  xxoo me
