Monday started out with temps in the high 50's and may have reached the high 60's before another front came through with a little rain around lunch time and then the skies cleared out with a stiff breeze and the temps began drop once again by night fall. I headed out to the rec after my usual morning routines on my bike for a couple hours of pickle ball. We had 3 courts in action with mainly A players with just a couple B players in the mix. I had a wet shirt by 10 AM and was ready to call it a day from the workout. I passed Nancy on her way to the rec for her workout on the treadmill.
I piddled around in the garden and sowed some radish seeds as the sign of the moon was correct for planting seeds where the vegetable produces a root. I also transplanted some lettuce seedlings that I've had growing in 9 packs into the ground. I must keep a constant supply of lettuce seedlings in the garden growing for our daily salads. I think we will have green beans this week as well as some Swiss chard and of course there are two broccoli heads to be cut as well. The carrots are about a foot high and soon we should have some root as well. The tomato's are setting fruit and I have a couple about the size of golf balls. I staked the 4 volunteer tomato's which I think will be the small teardrop tomato's I started a couple years ago from one of Bobby's plants. These are the best tasting small tomato ever and great for salads.
Amy, GG and Sam came for lunch as Eliza Faye was already here while the girls shopped for groceries. We finally got her to sleep for a nap before lunchtime. We lunched on salad and sandwiches and then played with the kiddos until it was time for them to leave and pick up Ava from school. The rain finally ceased and the sun came out but the wind quickly brought the temps down for a chill in the air. We read until it was time to start supper which was cleaning up some leftover turnip casserole, broccoli and then we baked some Pollock fish sticks. They were very tasty. After the clean up we settled in to the Fox News channel and once again was disturbed that our leaders are doing nothing to curb this growing cancer in the world caused radical Islam. Another journalist from Japan was beheaded by them and we still can not describe them as terrorist. Honestly!!! I think some in our government are sympathetic to their ideology or what they call religion, LATER
Here are a few pictures we took of our one year old grand daughter Eliza Faye who is just precious and so delightful!!! She is walking everywhere and at times stumbles and falls but is right back up. She loves to get up onto my lap and look at pictures on the laptop.
