Well Monday started with my usual 6 ish rollout to overcast skies and it finally rained during the late afternoon and most of the evening. It was a welcome event as its been so dry. I let my well rest for a day. I headed to the Rec. for a good workout on the pickle ball courts then spent the rest of the day working on the woodwork around the finished flooring. I still have a couple of days work before finishing the moulding around the baseboards.
I started the day much the usual with a hot cup of green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then I spent a few quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving and intercessory prayers for those I know and love. We spoke with our "mountain mom" and she said her brother Joe was doing much better and they had been to Applebee's for supper in Galax, Va. We are glad to hear of his recovery and now he is back to living alone albeit Helen is close by. I haven't heard any news on Paw Paw except the total hip replacement is on April 3rd at Walter Reed Hospital in Maryland. Nancy and I will travel up to see him that is if the snow from the last blizzard is gone. Wow that is supposed to be some storm heading into the northeast.
Amy and all three kiddos came for lunch and Nancy fried up two beautiful egg plants and had enough leftover that I had them again for supper with some lasagna sauce much like egg plant parmesan. My two plants are still loaded with fruit in varying sizes and I've given away several already. I picked a half bushel basket of 1/2 runner green beans and still have more to pick and the tomatoes are just ripening faster than we can use and give away. This garden has been fantastic and I picked some small lettuces leaves from the recent seedlings for our salad.
The neighbor hood boy who is Ava's age age came over as well and the four of them ran and played outside as it wasn't too hot for a change. After they left I got into finishing the bottom of the door frames after taping them off to paint and now I only have to caulk. I worked until after 5'ish when we decided to call Helen. They had a few snowflakes but it's supposed to turn bitter cold as well. We are forecasted for some cooler temps in the 60's for highs here the next couple of days.
Well after the cleanup we settled into the Fox News and listened to the sound of rain pounding on the roof and it wasn't long after 9 that I was in a hot shower. I watched the last of the Lightning game and they won again in New York and are still in the running for the playoffs, LATER
