Orson Poulsen has gotten all the tiles laid down in the bathroom in his quilting cottage. âNow,â he says, âall I have to do on that project is put the grouting in.â However, he admits to still having to do some more finishing touches on the building.
Orson and Jeannette are very happy to see some of the pea plants coming up in their garden already. They bought some more seeds to plant. Orson has taken this seasonâs first irrigation turn. It lasts 21 hours. It starts on Thursday and ends on Friday throughout the summer. The couple has also purchased some tomato plants, but will keep them in the house for a while longer.
‘She saved my life’: Staten Island neighbors meet up every day, rain or shine, to survive pandemic together

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. In the little neighborhood of Village Greens in Arden Heights, sheltering in place for months on end gave way to some great friendships.
One day, in the beginning of the pandemic, in late March, after sitting inside for weeks, Roz Kurland said, “I’m going outside to sit on the bench.”
She did. Her other neighbor, Maureen Dubison, who has lived there for 46 years to her 47, said, “I’ll bring over a chair.” They both came from Brooklyn directly to Village Greens.
