Blog Closing Due to Threat of Covid-19
Until further notice, Bumpy Lane Quilts will be closed due to the threat of Covid-19. This is in response to the reactions of the general public and the panic buying that has spread across the United States.
For the past two weeks, businesses have been closing up and, if possible, having their employees work from home. Schools have shut down entire districts throughout the country, some for well over a month. Last week, following the course of other states, the governor of Indiana announced the mandatory closure of restaurants and bars. You can order take-out from these places, but you cannot go inside.
You can still buy milk and bread in most places, but for some strange reason, there isn't a sheet of toilet paper to be found all across the nation. Yet, there is hope. Look at this:
These photos have gone viral on Facebook. They were taken on a nature walk in Virginia. The photographer just happened upon this cute little fella and was able to capture the moment. She states:
"I don't do much wildlife photography, so I was super excited to get these shots. They're thought to be nearly extinct. Over-hunting has had the biggest impact on their numbers. They like to travel in packs of 2, 4, 6, 8, and up, so seeing this one out solo says something about how seriously they've been affected. I'm just glad I had my zoom."
I hope the DNR of Virginia is able to protect them and begin the process of rebuilding their numbers. They will have to take a few into captivity and organize a carefully supervised rehabilitation program. We must save the TP!
Of course, this post is just meant for fun and I will still be making regular posts as I'm able. With all this time at home, I was able to finish a quilt last week. All it needs to be truly complete is a label. I may wait until summer to post about it, though, because I prefer taking quilts outside for photos and it just won't look right until the grass is green. In the meantime, I'm working on a few other things, one of which I'll post about in a few days. Or next week. Or whenever I get to it.
Wishing everyone well and hope you're all managing your way through this crisis -- health wise and with sanity in tact.
