First Rose

Still a bud but this will open within 48 hours, I'm sure.

Another day inside ... how predictable is that!  The weather is keeping AW inside as well, a good excuse to rest his back, although it has cooled down considerably.  Together with the temperature, our number of daily dead is steadily dropping and the trend is very noticeable.  Nevertheless, caution is still the key word as too much too soon could reverse our fortunes.  What the medics and the statisticians agree on is that there are more deaths than what's being reported, and everyone knows that many didn't go to hospital because they didn't want to die alone.  I am wondering, though, about the people in the house with them.
