Well Tuesday was a bit nippy to start the day but by late afternoon it had reached the 80 degree mark. Unbelievable as Nancy had the heat on to start the day and nearly changed over to the a/c by suppertime. What a drastic change in the temp's. We made a Wal-Mart run with GG after lunch and then a stop at Aldi's as well to stock up.
I started the day with my usual 6'ish roll out and then my morning routines of a few quiet moments, my daily discipline and then the posting of this ramble before heading out to the REC a half hour early. On Tuesday's and Thursday's some of us pickle ball players want to get a little extra court time before the general players arrive in mass. We have the gym from 7-12 whereas on MWF we have the gym from 8-10. I'm still trying to stay only about an hour and half, 5 days a week which is giving me plenty of court time. The knees are holding up but where my mind say's to stay longer the body say's that period of play is enough.
I stopped of at the library on the way home and wow what a difference in temperature from 7:30 when I got to the REC. It was in the 70's by 9:30 and even went much higher after lunch. I headed out to cut lettuces, kale, beet greens and picked my first mess of sugar peas for a huge salad. I cleaned this bunch and then used the salad spinner to get the extra water off and then broke it up for a nice salad. I'm hoping with this warm weather the tomato will start to ripen in mass as well. I bought a sack of Epson salt for them and the peppers and gave them a good dose when we got back from shopping. Amy, GG and Eliza Faye came for lunch and GG brought Zuppa Toscanda from last nights supper and wow was it ever delicious. Definitely one of my favorite soups. I put a pot of dried pinto beans on to slow cook for our supper and they too were fabulous with some cut up sweet onion and a dash of hot sauce. We dined on that and a fresh salad for supper with some corn muffins slathered in real butter and honey, yikes I could eat that meal once a week or even more often. It's been months since we've had dried pintos as I even brought these beans back from the mountains when we came in Nov.
Well after the clean up from supper we settled into the FOX News channel and watched what is happening in the world. The O'Reilly Factor is still one of our daily favorites as well is Greta and On The Record. I headed to the shower shortly afterwards while Nancy watches her Fixer Upper Show's and HGTV. She gets all of these ideals and constantly lays them out to me after watching shows. Luckily I'm asleep by the time she comes to bed. Well that was about it for the day and the change in weather occurred during the night with hard rains once again awaking me at 2'ish in the morning. The temps are supposed to cool off once again but not nearly as cold as this past weekend. This system is forecasted to bring more snow to the north which is still digging out from the blizzard, oh well, LATER
