WV cop teleprompter ;-)
WV is the recreational outlet for wash D.C. metro area. Lots of summer homes, cabins, etc. Out of state plates hitting all the local groceries. We have small Food Lions, older, small Walmarts. Wife reported all fresh fruits and vegetables wiped out. Native West Virginians Do Not Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Against their religion.
Local trash company reports a huge surge in demand in new service requests from summer home areas. Our local, small health clinic just went to telehealth only. No more in person appointments. Emergencies go to the hospital. The only one testing for Covid -19 40 miles away. Call ahead for admission clearance first to ER nurse.
On the positive side, our county and two adjoining counties are still case free (for now). Locals think the first will be one of the new comers. Our small farm food supply we grow each year is fine. Have fresh squash, potatoes, garlic, frozen and canned foods up the ying yang. Gourmet meals every day. First lettuce and kale seedlings in the ground. I even have kale and collards that overwintered by themselves ready to cut. Wife has all her herbs going. Getting up to six eggs a day from the hens. Wife says I have to go catch some trout from the stream out back for supper tonight.
Plum, and peach trees in bloom, pears and cherries right behind. You walk by and see the bees working the bloom. You can’t help but inhale the smell of the perfumed air. Wife has to put supers on the hives today as the autumn olive is about to bloom which will fill up the frames. Fingers crossed no hard frosts, the locust bloom should be spectacular. She promised last year to make locust jam ( have to climb the trees though and compete with the bees). Dandelions a-bit late.wife puts them in her salad, garbles a couple of buckets for dandelion wine, and gathers violets for her honey and toast.
