More snow. Enough of that. The little yellow crocuses are closed up shop waiting for nicer days, and Linda is looking over the front beds, encouraging the plants to hang in there.
It's kind of funny. Weird almost. We've both had our first AZ shots two weeks ago. We aren't sure when the second shot will happen. Supposedly we are mostly protected against the virus, but we're behaving like we have not been vaccinated, just in case.
More and more people here are getting vaccinated, but it seems like I hear about more and more cases. We are deep into a third wave here, with the number of new cases still above the 7 day moving average, and most of them are the new variants. We are somewhat more worried about catching it now than we were a year ago. Other than our house, the only indoor spaces for us these days involves shopping for food.
A year ago! I don't think anyone dreamed we would still be here now. And yet, here we are, and there are still people denying that COVID is a serious problem. More than a dozen Alberta politicians are publicly denouncing the various measures as being too harsh, while the science suggests that the measures are about half-way to adequate and implemented too late. Nobody knows how big the anti-vaxx problem is going to be going forward, but anecdotal evidence suggests they will ensure the virus survives and continues to mutate.
The current TV binge is still Grey's Anatomy. We just finished season 4 and going strong. With the library closed there is no new supply of books. I've been doing some comfort food reading of Georgette Heyer's regency romances. That might sound strange, but she's an awesome writer.
In a little while I'll head downstairs to bottle another wine kit. Next week I'm off to Red Deer for the remaining kits in our order. I've been playing with lighting, glass, and the kit boxes, but have not yet achieved a satisfactory result. This is merely one of the ideas.

Celina, from several photos taken the other day as she writhed in the sun. But first a serendipity from 2018.
I hear ya, my friend. What's happening in Alberta is worrying as you-know-what. Kenney is such an ass. Hoping the good folks of Alberta will eventually figure out what a mess you're in and force him to change course. In the meantime, glad you folks got your shots! LOVE the shot of the bottles. Very cool! And technically excellent.
