Tuesday Morning

Well Monday was another warm day but the forecast is for a front to move through later this week with some cooler temps. It wasn't unbearable outside as I worked in the yards and gardens until lunch time and then later in the afternoon after a good two hour pickle ball workout in the morning at the Rec.

I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out. I had my hot tea with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent a few quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name for comfort and healing in this their time of need. GG is still in the UM Hospital and the update hasn't changed much; brother Joe Sheetz was taken back to Tennessee with his daughter/doctor to her hospital for treatment and care. His days of living alone are in jeopardy in his beautiful mountain home unless he gets nursing assistance or round the clock care and even that is in doubt with his health issues. He is just too much to care for by his sisters Helen and Martha who still live in the area.

I learned one of the pickle ball players has prostrate cancer and its spread into his bones and now he is facing chemo. He still comes and plays almost everyday and I wouldn't have know by his energy level but his wife who also plays mentioned his issues to me. Bob is his name and while he had the cancer years ago and the prostrate was removed due to the cancer it has metastasized and spread further. Keep him in your prayers. I think playing the game has helped to give him a reason to continue fighting this cancer.

I harvested lettuces and kale and then cleaned it and made a huge salad. I also harvested Swiss chard for our supper and it was awesome along with chicken fried deer steak, gravy and green beans. I 'm still waiting on the recently resowed green bean seeds to poke through the ground as well as the sugar peas and carrots. A couple of what I thought were volunteer tomato seedlings turned out to be weeds. I had to rub the leaves and smell to make sure they were tomato seedlings; they were weeds that look just like tomato plants, oh well. I have another cucumber seedlings poking through the ground so it looks like I will have a back up to the one seedlings that is now adding leaves.

I piddled around in the front yard hoeing up this terrible weed that has a root extremely long and hard to pull up. I don't know where it came from but it spreads like crazy and the hurricane rain only added to his longevity. It is one tough weed and while it gives the ground some green it chokes out any grasses so I'm working a little each day in eradicating it from the front yard which is slowly coming back after all the downed tree limbs laid for so long killing most of the grasses.

Well we are finding out just how corrupt the government became under Obama as potus and Hillary in the cabinet; especially with the preferential treatment she got from the FBI. Unbelievable this could happen here in America; I would expect this in a banana republic but not here. I'm beginning to wonder how widespread this corruption is within the congress. We know the fake news networks are in collusion with the corrupt Clinton's and now the special prosecutor and the DOJ are corrupt within their higher ups. That is why they hate Trump so much because he is pointing them out and the American people are are starting to see just how crooked and corrupt they are, LATER
