I think that most people who suffered the isolation of lockdown discovered new tv shows they would never have known about if not for Covid 19. My current favourite is on Amazon Prime, a show called “Preacher.” It’s wild, gory, uncompromising, and darkly comical. But alas, that’s now come to an end. . .time to look for something else as a welcome distraction.

  I know right! I am watching ‘You’ now. A psychological thriller. Give it a try.

I have seen all of True Blood, loved it, but can’t watch it again because I didn’t like the way it ended, and that makes me not want to watch it repeated. I am not sure how much of Riverdale I watched, I know one season, I might need to check that and watch the rest if there is more.

I am currently watching the second season of 13 Reasons Why. It is dark and about kids trying to grow up and deal with all the issues that come along like drug addiction, suicide and the like.

  I know. I didn’t like the ending of True Blood. I felt so bad for Eric Northman and Sookie married some random guy. Ugh!
  
  Riverdale, I have watched till season 3, but 2 and 3 was a waste. But I like Cole Sprouse. So I watched. I also like Lili Reinhart.
  
  I will check out 13 Reasons Why. Thank you.

    actually, I don’t think that was a random guy…I think it was the werewolf because I remember it seemed odd that she had forsaken her interest in vampires, but kept her interest in him. They had dated for a while.
    
    I could be wrong though, but that is who I remember seeing at that table with, I believe, some children. I hated the end because Sookie was all about the vampires and this seemed like a total rewrite of her whole being. But also because if they had just ended the show 20 minutes earlier they would have left with what I considered some sort of intergrity. Instead, it seemed to me that they quickly added 20 more minutes to make it turn out all “normal”.

      My thoughts exactly! That would have seemed fair. Just didn’t like the ending.

        And it affected me so much, that to now, I haven’t been able to even consider watching the earliest episodes again because my mind immediately goes to what I call the “sell-out”.

        I understand.It can happen when the movies or series doesn’t end up to our expectations.

I have to admit I only watched a season of Outlander…..and have not seen anything else. And the reason I only watched one season of Outlander is I read all of the books and was some what disappointed with who they picked for Jamie. AND….they change up the story line from time to time. But once in a blue moon I will watch an episode if its on as I am turning Chanels. I absolutely love the Outlander books. She is about to release a 9th book and I can not wait for it.

  And that exactly must be the reason why I loved the show. I haven’t read a single book. I can’t wait for the next season.

I absolutely love gardening. You are correct….it is so relaxing to dig into the dirt with your hands, plant seeds and watch them grow. This year I only grew heirloom tomatoes on the lower balcony. On my upper balcony I have a few different flowering plants. One I absolutely love is my Night Jasmine. The scent flows through the door and it is so wonderful. Can’t wait to see your Orchid.
We have a local group that trades plants. With so many people being stuck at home through this pandemic many started growing plants for the first time. So they sign up for this group where they trade. I saw the story on our local news station. Us humans can be so creative.

  Oh I am so delighted to know that you share my enthusiasm for gardening. I am sorry I got in late replying back. I had 2 busy days, and just sat down to check my comments and messages here. I grow mint, turmeric, ginger, eggplant, aloe vera, basil and many varieties of indoor plants. I have only two types of orchids. One is known as Dancing Girl and the other looks like an eagle when bloomed. I agree that we can be pretty creative. 🙂

    My father always planted a large garden every summer when I was young so my memories of fresh vegetables are wonderful. Maybe next summer I’ll be able to plant more on the back hill. I just have to work on the path and hire a crew to make layers on the hill. We shall see how that all turns out.
    The Dancing Girl Orchid sounds beautiful.
