Well Wednesday was a work day that had me back up on the end of a 24 foot ladder with a extender for a paint roller and my bean sprayer as I wanted to complete the project of getting rid of the black mildew on the outside cabin boards. Wow, what a job but the results are fantastic as the cabin looks as if I just painted or stained the large hemlock boards. I'm thankful that task is completed for another year.
The day started much the usual with my 6'ish roll out and then my morning routines of a few quiet moments to honor and humble myself before my Creator, the posting of this ramble about what were the highlights for the day before while having a cup of hot turmeric drink. The stillness of the day at that time of the morning with the coolness of the night and the sound of the dew dripping onto the tin roof is just so awesome. Occasionally the sound of a lonely crow breaks the silence of the morning as the dawn approaches with some sunlight streaming through the tall trees that surround our place. Such peace and tranquility surrounded by everything GOD made with the beauty of the various flowers in bloom and the many rich vibrant greens of the trees and garden plants is beautiful. We are so blessed to be here this time of the year and in addition to the ambiance be surrounded with many dear friends.
I ate lite for breakfast and lunch as the Tracy's invited us as well as the Carlan's to their beautiful rental for a Thanksgiving dinner so it was watermelon for breakfast and sliced cucumbers and tomato's for lunch as Kathryn set the table with roast turkey breast, dressing, gravy and smashed taters, corn on the cob and Marcia brought green beans and Nancy the pumpkin pie, Yeow what a feed that was. Luckily we managed to work in a hike to the top of the mountain just before lunch time. I did have to hand water the gardens as the rain predicted never occurred either day of this week. I still have a rain barrel full of water so that helps from the rains of a week or so ago. Everything still looks great and I harvested more lettuce, beet greens, cukes and yellow squashes and blessed the Browning's with a couple of each.
Well after supper we got into a game of domino's which was a bust as the interest quickly died so we turned to Qwirkle which seemed to hold everyone's interest enough for two games. We were on our way home just before dark and then managed to watch Gov. Mike Pence from Indiana give his acceptance speech at the RNC as the vice president candidate running mate with Trump. I must say Trump is very smart as he brought the right man on as his running mate. Pence is the real deal to add some balance to the ticket and while were not thrilled initially with some of Trump's actions; Pence is just what we need with his dedication to his faith, his values and to his country. He is very Reganist in his philosophy and desire to help bring the nation out of this chasm of terrible downward defeat both from within and abroad by this present inept and crooked administration led by the special interests and the secular progressives. I haven't felt this great about a politician since Ronald Regan who like Trump was not a politician in the beginning but went on to bring America to the pinnacle years of being that shinning city of hope for the rest of the world. Hopefully this will happen again under this ticket at the RNC. America had better wake up as this could be the last hope we have for our country, our kids and for the future of America we once knew based on Judeo-Christian values. I remember the left mocked Regan as the actor with a monkey and who was not a politician, but he was incorruptible and became a great leader giving US(A) the best great hope for mankind, LATER
