The “All Kinds of Kind” singer, 36, revealed on Instagram that she’s keeping herself busy with a number of activities, including farm work and virtual happy hours, to manage her stress over the pandemic, which has claimed nearly 1,600 lives in the U.S., with more than 102,000 people testing positive, according to CNN.

“I haven’t really known what to say on social media during all this,” she began on Friday, March 27. “I’m not great at socials anyway and a time like this makes it that much more difficult for me to figure out how to be. Tuesday of this week is when I finally realized I could unpack.”

I haven’t really known what to say on social media during all this. I’m not great at socials anyway and a time like this makes it that much more difficult for me to figure out how to be. Tuesday of this week is when I finally realized I could unpack. For the next few months for me there are no shows, no sound checks, no bus calls, no flights. Just home. Once I processed it, I actually got a feeling of peace even though , like all of us, my anxiety about the sate of the world right now is still through the roof. I’ve started working on some projects around the farm that I kept running from because I had to leave for work and some I’ve wanted to run from because organization is not my fav. Ive been having some pretty cool virtual happy hours with friends and family. Brendan and I have been cooking, cleaning, working out (some virtual classes but not enough @b.w.fitness @willowpilatesstudio 😬) spending time with dogs and horses and just being together quietly . Well besides the country music constantly coming through the speakers. I have written a few songs for the first time in a year. And text writing a cowgirl song with @ronniedunn (such a fan girl of B&D). Today I spent most of the day thanking Jesus that the sun was out. The baby chicks are about to move into their new coop and that’s about all the news we have around here for the time being. We miss our road family, New York family and I dang sure miss my Texas fam. My soul sister @apes_1983 just had her first baby yesterday, baby Finn, and we only get to see him through a screen for now. I wish I was there in person. Soon enough good Lord willin. But in happy news, this box arrived today and I felt my heart jump. Some wine from @red55winery , freshly canned salsa, apple butter, Paw Paws bbq sauce, and a note on napkin. “Sending love from home. love mom and dad (be safe). I do feel safe now knowing that even though they are over 600 miles away I’m connected to all of them. Sending light to all the first responders and health care workers. Stay home. Call home

The “Over You” songstress went on to dish about work she is doing around her farm that she previously “kept running from because I had to leave for work and some I’ve wanted to run from because organization is not my fav [sic].”

“I’ve been having some pretty cool virtual happy hours with friends and family,” she captioned the photo series, which included photos of herself, her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, their dogs, farm animals and bottles of wine. “Brendan and I have been cooking, cleaning, working out (some virtual classes but not enough @b.w.fitness @willowpilatesstudio 😬) spending time with dogs and horses and just being together quietly.”

Lambert added that she has written new music during her time off and thanked Jesus for the sun being out. She also opened up about the arrival of her friend’s newborn son, Finn, who she could only see “through a screen for now.”
