From Green to Blue

There was still a few days left of March after the last Saturday, so I continued to sew some green.

Second green tulip and ...
 

... tiny little 3.5 Shoo-fly blocks were done.

I need one more green Tulip block and can't decide which fabric to choose. What would you pick, high contrast or celery? 

Then I switched my attention to blue fabrics. I pulled these out for the next Tulip blocks

and while I'm at it, might as well get a darker one too. 

Well, surprise! With the glorious sun this morning, my fabrics don't look so dark but they are ... darker than the others anyway. 

During March, I did 25 and 1/2 hours of volunteer work at different immunizing locations. It was fun to finally see some "real" people (haha) and to feel needed and helping out. Yes, I was tired. Yes, it was long hours at a time (sometimes after my day job). Yes, I will do some more in April. The Eastern Ontario Health Unit is so well organized that I love my time with them. Each volunteer has a job to do. Sometimes I worked as one of the greeters, other times, I served as a "watcher", making sure people felt fine after their shot and staying the mandatory 15 minutes. Every chair gets disinfected after each client. The elders (75 yo and up) are so grateful for the help the volunteers bring. They expect long line-ups and filling out papers they don't understand, and then, we (volunteers) show up and help them with it all. There are chairs available (six feet apart) at every step of the way and even a few wheelchairs.  One lady said to me as she sat down for her 15 min time-out "I got in line at 4:00 p.m. and was immunized at 4:04 p.m. That's not what I expected." (I think I will remember this phrase for the rest of my life. None of the volunteers or nurses knew we were being timed.) 

Take care. Stay safe. We are NOT out of the woods yet.
