Mostly caught up! Praying that you don't get Covid, but if you do that it's a mild case!
Are you all in any danger from the hurricane?

I am really glad for you. One thing, and I am not being negative.... but how do they determine how long after possible exposure before your body will show up positive? I mean, if you get exposed to someone with the flu it takes at least 24-48 hours before you start to show any possible symptoms.... so how do they decide how soon after exposure should you be tested? And in the case of the woman here that has had a total of 5 positive tests in over 6 weeks, and never had a symptom, and they are still making her stay "quarantined" and yet no one in her house has come up positive..... I am getting more and more confused as to how they have come up with some of these protocols. 14 days was supposed to be the "infectious time" but she is still not allowed to go back to work or anything.
And a friend's son who got it in Alaska, positive test, quarantined for 2 weeks, had flu like symptoms but not too bad, said he will be going back to work and has been told he will not have to test anymore because you will continue to test positive.....yet everyone at work has to test twice a week that are negative?????
I don"t want anyone to get it, I wish my former fiance didn't get it and die, but how is it so arbitrary from one place to another?
I just hope you continue to stay safe, but please don't count on this vaccine. There were 2 reports out that I just read that there have been over 20 mutations already seen in samples in some labs. It is like the flu in that respect.... a "vaccine" which the flu shot isn't really, will not guarantee you won't get it.... it will maybe help your immune system put out anti bodies that will help you to fight it.....but for every mutation, that is another "variety" that is different enough from the original, that will not be "protected by a vaccine" but maybe the symptoms will be lessened.

Yeah, looks like it is planning to stay off the coast so just some rain and wind for those on the east coast of FL other than the Miami area and points north. Seems the strongest winds and rain will skirt GA and SC.

We are going Elderberry picking today. Actually we are a little late, I've been in the kitchen almost every day working all day to put up garden produce, but there are still plenty of elderberries for us. Going to make elderberry syrup for the flu season. Supposedly it works for the Covid too, so will start taking it as soon as I get the syrup made.

I just use the juice, don't bother with syrup. It isn't bitter or anything, not "sweet" but not at all bad. Seems to be working.
I WBcanned in pint jars. Will do same this year. Had planned to do this morning, as I check the spots on Sunday. then, his storm came in. Maybe later today or...I have some frozen to add to any I pick now. Loaded. Dried ones, too.OMG...butchering roosters is not fun and CERTAINLY not in the heat! Yeah, dirty laundry smells better.

Good trade on the elderberry syrup!
