Well Sunday found us finally with no measurable rain for a change. I think its been 10 days or there about since we've had a totally dry day and my garden and yards are showing it's appreciation. We attend Cornerstone for worship at 10 then headed over to the Tracy's place with the leftovers from last nights supper in a cooler.
The day started with a 6 ish roll out for me and to my usual routines that start with the cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I post this ramble and then spend a few quiet moments with my Creator in humble prayer and thanksgiving and lifting several up by name. All is well with those as I've heard nothing to the contrary. We listened to our home church Bridgepoint in St.Pete, Fl. on line and Tim had a great message in the series titled Road Trip. Pastor B here in the mountains also has a really good message on the Stress series taken from the 23rd Psalm.
We cleaned up the leftovers from Saturdays supper which featured marinated chicken breast and London broil carved into fajitas along with sauteed peppers and onions, yellow rice and black beans, yeow tasted as great as when first served . We sat and visited for a couple hours then headed out around 3'ish to the cabin after a Food Lion stop for some whole chickens. I'm doing beer in the rear birds for supper with the gang as the Botbyl's leave early Tuesday morning to go back to Seminole. They will have been here nearly three weeks which is quite the change for them. They visited with both of us and we had an enjoyable time.
We got back to the cabin sometime after 4 then took a hike to the top of the mountain. It had finally warmed up in the bright sunshine and the temps had climbed from the early morning low 60's to the low 80's. I worked up a sweat on the hike. We walked across the top and visited with Joe and Jetta for a spell. She remembered it was my birthday (tomorrow) and cut me hearty slice of a fresh baked coconut creme pie, yikes was that ever tasty. That held me the rest of the day and evening.
I did get in some yard and garden work as the ground needed loosening from the heavy downpour yesterday evening which dropped nearly 3/4 quarters of an inch of rain in about 30 minutes, yikes did it ever come down. I made the area where the black raspberry bushes are sending out runners larger so I could expand the patch. The Zinnias are showing some colors and will add some beauty to the old circle drive flower bed which is usually grass and weed infested. I did notice a couple fingerling cukes on the vines so maybe thats a sign we will get a few. I smashed a couple green worms on one of the kale plants and the tomato plants are still growing and now over my head in height; but I'm afraid to say all of them are cherry or small tomato's, oh well, its tough to make a sandwich with them but the store bought tomato's are anything close to good.
Well the Ray's lost again and while in third place they will not be making the playoffs again this year if they continue down the road with losing, oh well, LATER
