My mom and sister in law are there along with three nieces though one is off camera

So March, full of birthdays, is over and now it is spring with its peepers, crocuses, and daffodils though today is unseasonably cold so back downstairs into the dungeon to exercise. I planted pansies to brighten my mood. Hopefully the 20 degree cold didn't kill them. They are 'cold hardy' but haven't had time to be established. Another thing I am trying is a new variety of hardy fig. I have put it in a large planter that I can pull into the garage until it is more established.
Our state, particularly in its Trump loving counties, has become a hotbed of new Covid activity, in the top 3 of the whole country, which I find hard to believe. There is a huge distrust of science. So don't use anything 'science' has provided. No smartphones, no airplane rides, no television. I have nothing but contempt for these idiots who are responsible for the epidemic dragging out. Both Steve and I are vaccinated. In some counties they are vaccinating all adults but not in our county. Will search for Ohio sites for 2 of my kids.
I am still injured which most of the time I don't even feel unless I sit for an extended period and do certain exercises. Fortunately biking doesn't bother it. Between the indoor and outdoor bikes, I have rode 1100 miles since Jan 1. Maybe I can run soon.
Our hospitals are full of Covid patients. Still I visited a friend, non Covid related, who had to stay in the ER 3 days before a room could be found. She was allowed one visitor a day, a lengthy process to get cleared in order to see her. Even with these restrictions, it wa hard to find a parking spot.
I have been seeing my vaccinated friends, which is a treat. On Easter, it will be warm so I will have the whole family outside.
