<p>I noticed a couple of posts about ending individual quarantines.
Not to be the person with bad news, but I think people should
begin to consider that this sequestering is going to last for a
number of weeks - perhaps as many as 8 or more. That means we
need to develop some strategies now for not moving around much,
and working with each other to obtain what we need. That
certainly includes developing some regular check-ins. This
morning, reading all of your responses has made my day quite a bit
brighter.</p>
<p>Three of my goats are also on lock down and each day they give me
something else to have to conquer. The rain...constant rain is a
source of much of the problem. Fresh carrot and celery juice has
brought a bit of a cure, but my supply will only last a couple of
more days and they will need to be better by then. We're in the
throws of revamping our business in order to move forward far
earlier then we had planned to putting everything online. It's a
mammoth undertaking. <br>
</p>
<p>In a few days I will send a link for a virtual tour of Blue Rock
Station or you can go to Steader.com and sign up for Goat College
101 and see the interview and tour there. <br>
</p>
<p>Keep those virtual cards and letters comin'. Bisous ("kisses" in
French)...Annie <br>

<div><font size="4" face="Calibri">Greetings, friends -- I am
agreeing with both Jane and Annie. The A List for the Women
of FUUSM is a good way for us to keep in touch. Let's
reserve Zoom for specific meetings. Our numbers would be
very difficult to manage in one Zoom session, but we can
each add on to this Check-in. The Worship & Music
Committee (with Kat) met yesterday to do some planning.
I'll share the results soon, but using the email List for
Women was one suggestion, and it seems to be happening
organically. Personally, I am okay and feeling grateful for
the particulars of my overall situation. </font></div>
<div><font size="4" face="Calibri"><font>Here's the thought our
meeting opened with yesterday: "Once upon a time, when
women were birds, there was the simple understanding that
to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world
through joy. The birds still remember what we have
forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated." --

in. We could do Zoom but it is getting lots of use and
who knows how long it will continue to be free. There
were hints of that when I signed in as they were limiting

to communicate with <br>
each other during this emergency. Do you have some ideas of
how we <br>
might get together online? I was thinking we could have a
Zoom.com call <br>
online, and pick a topic for discussion. The call would
include a <br>
check-in as well. Just some thoughts as I wonder how the
weeks will <br>
treat us without getting together in some way.<br>
<br>
We're all fine at Blue Rock Station. It seems quite odd to
tell people <br>
they can't join us...this is quite the opposite of how we've
lived our <br>
entire life together. However I plan to get through this as
unscathed <br>
as possible. We've been used to not shopping for the past
four months <br>
since it is our Thanks for Nothing Season so when we
realized we'd <br>
better stay in (a week ago Friday) we went to the grocery
and the feed <br>
store to replenish some scooby snacks and then we just went
back to <br>
living Thanks for Nothing Season except now it's likely to
be a sixth <br>
month season. YIKES!<br>
<br>
My latest activity, besides working on salvaging our
business year, is <br>
to plant some trees that arrived earlier in the week, and
also I made <br>
some shampoo. The ingredients in shampoo are frightening
and I love the <br>
way my homemade shampoo feels, even after a few hours.<br>
<br>
The goats have tried to scare me with two of them being
anemic and the <br>
third one nearly as dangerously sick. I've worked a lot of
magic on <br>
them so I'm hoping they will get through this spell alive.
The rain <br>
does dangerous things to goats especially when it rains this
much.<br>
<br>
This is my attempt at getting you to engage. I'd love to
hear what <br>
you're doing and what's happening in your neighborhood, OR
the latest <br>
about the FUUSM Sunday services. Annie<br>
