when one's front hall ...


... is filling up with boxes: an eclectic combination of cat food and other essential supplies, like soap.  Some of this enthusiastic on-line shopping comes, of course, under the excuse/heading of "keeping small businesses going" - like our favorite New Mexican Sandia Soap, although possibly a soap company is one of the least precarious at this time.  Some of it really is essential, like the package full of Ohori's coffee beans (also from Santa Fe).  Some of it - well, maybe weird, like the long parcel, that contains a long-handled jaw-grabbing device, so that if someone drops trash on the street outside - like the banana skin that we found garnishing our rosemary bush a couple of days back - we needn't touch or get close to it.  Yes, that's a stray shoe: when one changes always from indoor to outdoor shoes, and back again, irregularities occur: we haven't yet reached army inspection line-ups of footwear standards.

Moth is most interested in that large rectangular box, since she has a strong suspicion that it contains a 17lb bag of cat food.  Even before the Californian "Stay at Home" order, we've been taking our - and the cats - possible needs seriously.
