Sunday Morning

Well Saturday was a bit nippy to start the day with temps into the low 50's but by late afternoon we had the windows and doors open and I was in shorts and t-shirt.What a change in just a few hours time and it stayed that way until after dark and then the temps once again dropped. Enough so that we ran the heat this morning to take the chill off of the house. I could stand this kind of weather year round and really yesterday was like a summer day at the cabin in the mountains.

I rolled out to start the day around 6'ish or a little before and did my usual morning routines. Once again the house had chilled down to 69 over night, so I took the chill off for Nancy, although I like that temperature, especially for working outside. I did have on long pants and a flannel shirt which kept me snug and warm along with my hot cup of turmeric and fresh ginger root. I read all the time that both of these herbs are good for joint pain and a whole host of other issues so Ive grown a custom to the taste of the turmeric. Ginger tea is great for all gastro issues of which thankfully I have none. I did my quiet time and daily discipline for personal growth then grabbed an apple while I perused the Internet checking out the hometown paper in Winchester and then to Ray's Weather for what was happening in the mountains. It was below freezing at both places but was heading for a warm up to be in the high 40's and even some 50's for the next couple of days. That should help with getting rid of the huge snow fall from last weekend, especially in northern Virginia where there was 3 feet of snow.

It was going on 9 when I decided to work outside in the yards and garden. I sucked up or mowed up all of the fallen oak leaves in both yards then piled them up to be mulched for easy composting. I run the mower over the piled leaves which breaks them down and then the fishing worms go to work running the mulched leaves through their digestive system which makes for great compost and eventually dirt. That kept me busy until lunch time. Amy and all of the Ross kiddos were here for lunch. They had gone to the park with Nancy and had worked up a sweat and an appetite running and playing. It really warmed up so Nancy had the windows open and the fans on while she fried bacon for BLT's. After lunch I headed back out to feed the veggies and to distribute the mulched leaves around my veggies in the garden then painted a couple outdoor wrought iron rocking chairs my neighbor Carol was getting rid of. A little black paint and I had them looking like new again. She gets lots of hand downs from her clients in these million dollar condo's she cleans on the beach.

I had the gardens and yards looking good as we will have a big family dinner here Sunday(today) as we celebrate Bobby's 35th birthday with the supper he chooses as well as the dessert. I will write about that tomorrow. After the Ross's took off so Eliza could get a nap as she still has a runny nose but isn't complaining anymore about her ear discomfort; but she needed a nap. They all came back around 5:30 for a supper of tacos. I headed into the computer room and decided since I got my last 1099 in the mail I would file my taxes for 2015 with turbotax. I've used it the past 4-5 years and find them very through and reasonable and they do all of my deductions. Once again I over paid but we had lots of medical deductions with all of the dental work and Nancy's heart arrhythmia issues. So its nice to not have to fork out anymore to this government which is spend happy with our money especially the social security trust fund which I paid into since I first went to work at Cather's Farm Market at the age of 15 earning a dollar and hour. I've paid into that fund from the sweat of my brow for 55 years, but this administration gives the money away to those who don't work or ever paid into it and then tells us(payers) we are racists or not inclusive enough and fails to give us our due. What a bunch of corrupt administrators and congress folks.  We have no one to rectify this criminal intent by this government.

Well enough of my disgust for these crooks who only want to fill their pocketbooks with our money and then denigrate the working man. The clinton's are the best example of corruption and criminal activity in the government and administrations. How can someone amass over a 100 million bucks from supposedly serving the public sector. They both make me want to throw up with their lies and shady deals and after Benghazi she should be in prison. I wouldn't doubt much of the billions the state department can't account for is in their bank accounts somewhere off shore.

Well we tuned into Dr. Pol, a show about a veterinarian up north and he really does know what he is doing with animal care. I tuned into the UFC bouts and then hit the showers somewhere around 9'ish and finally some horizontal lab a little after 11'ish. Today is Sunday so take a few minutes to honor our Creator and pray for our nation that we will honor the Judeo-Christian principles that our founding fathers made so obvious in the setting up of our government and our constitution. This administration has done everything possible to destroy those precepts and lead us down the road of destruction both by legal and illegally methods. I hope we survive the next year but with our inept leadership on the world scene I'm not to sure as we have any allies who trust this leadership. We have undermined all who once had our back, LATER
