It was another really cold morning. Evan needed a bale but it was below freezing and I wanted to wait until it was above freezing before starting the tractor so Evan was turn out into the field. His bale feeder was moved then I went inside to warm up by the fire. Both of us are still coughing. Today each time I cough my abdominal muscles yell. When the bale was moved in Evan came galloping up to be put away looking forward to his treat I always leave in his bucket. He has sure become a sweet gentle stallion. Laundry was done today but other than fixing breakfast and lunch no cooking. Rhoda ordered us a meal from Gils and hired Leah to deliver it.
We knew it was coming but didn't know all of what Rhoda ordered. There was bag after bag, box after box to open.
One box held hot fried onion rings that looked wonderful. BUT we both have Covid and with the first bite we were a little disappointed. You know that first bite of exploding flavor of hot greasy delicious onion rings as it hits your mouth? That explosion of flavor didn't happen. Your brain can tell you it will even if your tastebuds don't but it just didn't happen. My brain overruled my mouth with the fried chicken. That still tasted good.
Rhoda also ordered peanut butter pie and carrot cake. We each sampled some of everything but have enough for at least 3 more meals. The meal was very much appreciated. Tonight mom called to report she has a cold. We are all praying that the cold just stays a cold and nothing more. Ruth is still waiting for her test results. She has now had 3 tests and 0 results. She is a prisoner in her room while waiting for these test results. She is going to come for the walk tomorrow and stay 10 feet back. I'll join them and stay way back too.
