Well Tuesday was another warm day with the a/c running as the humidity has returned despite the nice breeze which has kept the temps into the low 80's. There was plenty of sunshine and blue skies but we are in for a drastic change this weekend with the lows in the 40's, yeow that will be a change. Nancy started her cookie baking and has decided instead of a marathon one day baking to do one a day and freeze them until we are ready to give them out to the neighbors, mail man, garbage collectors, etc.
The day started much the usual for me with a before 6'ish roll out. I need to go back to taking my herbs before bed that has helped with sleeping. Nancy had me awake off on during the night with her log sawing. The supplement hops and valerian together did seem to help with sleep but I quit using it for no reason, oh well. I did my customary routines that started with a handful of vitamins washed down with some spiced V-8 while I waited for my tea to brew. I laced it with some turmeric then headed into the spare room to compose this ramble and to spend a few quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing.
The update on GG hasn't changed as she is still in the hospital at the University of Michigan. I haven't heard anything from Paw Paw as he seems to have forgotten his weekly call to me and seldom answers the phone at his place in Winchester. Brother Joe is in Tennessee with his daughter/doctor where she once practiced and they are awaiting the results of tests from his condition. Age seems to be playing a major role in his condition as well as GG and Paw Paw. All of them are in their 90's or close to it so the best we can hope for is comfort from any unnecessary pain and discomfort.
I headed out for the Rec. and got in two good hours of pickle ball with good A players. We had one court to ourselves and worked up a good sweat before heading home around 10'ish. I piddled around in the garden and yards until lunch time when Amy and Eliza came. Afterwards I settled into finish Guthrie's book FAIR LAND and was startled by the ending. There are two more in the 6 book series that started with the movement west of mountain men, exploration and eventually settlements into the west coast and then coming back into the mountains and plains to adventures with the native Americans. Guthrie puts you right in the moment of how life was to the early settlers and adventures of living off the land and with the Indians as he eventually married a squaw and had children.
I grilled marinated chicken breasts along with Brussel sprouts for our supper which was "plate licking" delicious. We had a huge fresh all "from my garden" salad for lunch. The garden is doing well but I had to resow the half runner beans as the seeds must have been old. I did save some seeds from last years harvest and I may have to sow them if these seeds don't germinate. The sugar peas are sprouting and should pop through to start climbing the chain link fence. Another cucumber seedling is showing some color as well. The collards should be big enough in a couple of weeks for harvesting as well.
We settled into the FOX cable news and its disgusting as well as disheartening to see where the FBI has been politicized with their biased investigation to bring our president down while letting crooked Hillary skate on her lies and corruption as well the handling of classified data that put his nations security in harms way. Mueller has surrounded himself with Never Trumper's in the deep state ideology to preserve the power they have lost with Trump as the POTUS. Hopefully all of this will be black and white to the average citizen and justice will prevail and this witch hunt of collusion with the Russians will be shown to be what it really is; and that is too destroy this president and his agenda which is to make the nation great again. I'm at a loss to think we have folks in such high positions of power and decision making who would sacrifice the nation for their own greed and the retaining of power.
This is no doubt a new call for term limits and a judicial system to punish the abusers and crooks that have ingrained themselves in the government for political purposes. Just think if Hillary would have been elected we never would have known the total corruption of the liberal democrats and their influence in all of the departments. To think the integrity of the FBI has been abrogated as well as the attorney generals office to subvert the justice department is a total disgrace. FOX news tells the unbiased truth. I did watch a little of the Lightning game versus the Islanders and we won 6-2 in a great game, LATER
