Covid Update

- A second case of the virus has shown up on the island sometime during last week. Apparently a man in his sixties is the second confirmed case. We continue to self isolate. Our days are being spent at home, working online, playing, listening to music, watching comedy, staying warm, and enjoying being together.

We made the decision to totally self isolate pretty much at the beginning of the pandemic. We only go to our farms and to the beaches where there are no people. We are no longer grocery shopping. We are purchasing all of our dry goods online and we are growing more fresh food at our farms than we can even use. We are currently using a quarter acre farm close to our house which belongs to our friends. We are also growing most of our herbs on the quarter acre of land where our house is located, and during the last couple of years, we put in over 200 fruits trees including about 40 different varieties in our yard and bordering our property.
