Modern and traditional

 

A beautiful dogwood, and a couple more closer to the house which don't seem to have as many blossoms.

And another thing...

One of the local restaurants where I pick up a to-go dinner sometimes. They often have quite a crowd, and it's almost impossible for social distancing.

    1. I admit I got really tired (when sick) of left overs that I'd cooked, so would stop by and take home something from our local restaurants. Haven't eaten in one though since last year.

  2. Hello,
    We have been in one restaurant during an off time, the people were spaced out very well.
    I love the dogwood, we have some wild white dogwoods growing in the forest next to our place. Take care, have a great weekend!

  3. I am not familiar with dogwood trees hereabouts, which doesn't necessarily mean that they don't exist. There are reddish bushes (the woody part) by the river that people have called dogwood, but they don't look at all the same.

    1. My social life did include a weekly meal shared with a friend, up till last March. I'm planning to meet 2 friends and eat out on a patio by a creek on Monday.

  5. We've only been to a restaurant once in the six years we've lived here on the north coast. But lately I've been really wanting to go out to eat so I don't have to think about what to make for dinner. Hah! Never going to happen, not in these times.

    1. I am ok with eating outside, if the weather is warm enough...and of course the tables are separated. I am looking forward to meeting some friends for lunch on Monday.

    1. Our local chamber of commerce asked the residents to support the local restaurants during Covid by buying a $21 meal each week, but I usually take home something that costs much less than that. I usually get two meals out of each one I bring home also.

  7. I've eaten a couple times inside at a restaurant but doubt that I'll do so again for a while. Our numbers are going up again, and I don't need the risk. It seems like pink dogwoods are blooming right now. My white one (a Korean variety) isn't even fully leafed out and far from blooming.

    1. The dogwoods I'm familiar with have blooms before the leaves come out...which is what makes them so beautiful.

  8. I haven't been to a restaurant in over a year. No plans to start now, don't feel safe.

    1. Good decision. You sure wouldn't want indigestion from not feeling safe. As I mentioned, I will take home a meal, and am looking forward to eating outside in good weather with friends who have also been vacinated.

  9. I have only done take out from restaurants since this all started.

    1. Yes, I think I had one or two meals inside, where tables were spaced pretty well...since March...last year. My preference is outside.
