Well we did have some sun on Saturday but later in the evening it came a gully washer and ruined what initially was a beautiful day with no rain. At least the rain is coming in bursts and not a long drawn out all day long affair, oh well. (As I'm writing this two very large does appear in the back woods yard and were heading for my garden) I did get a little work done around the cabin until the early afternoon when we were to meet up with the other four at Olde Beau Country Club to look at houses for sale as the Tracy's and Botbyl's are supposedly hunting for one.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines that start with my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I post this ramble and then spent some quiet time with my Creator in humble thanksgiving and then lifting up several by name. All is well this far as I've heard nothing to the contrary. Our sweet niece Arriane had her baby boy by C-section and both are doing well.
I headed out after a lite breakfast to check on the driveway and raked and filled in some ruts from the wash out rain during the night. The cut outs across the road have really helped with keeping the driveway from washing away from the torrential down pours. I loosened up the packed soil around all of the garden veggies which helps to keep them from rotting in the ground by getting some air to the roots plus it a way of weed control as they continue to grow. I'm at a loss why the cucumbers are not setting fruit with the tons of blooms. The cherry tomato's are in full production on every one of the four volunteer plants which are now close to 6 feet tall and the lettuces are ready for harvesting daily. I found my first green worm on a kale plant and quickly dispensed with it, as it had taken its toll on the plant. The peppers are slow in producing but show lots of blooms and buds, oh well.
We met up with the salesman Tommy from Olde Beau and what a really nice feller as he grew up here in the county and we both know lots of the same people. I mentioned pickle ball and the club has painted the lines on its first tennis court for the game. He mentioned there was some interest in some of the club members and I told him I was available for lessons. He took my number and said he would let me know. The houses he showed us were top notch dwellings; some individual houses and some villas. All were well built and only a few years old and the prices were nearly half from what they were initially sold for when first built. Its a beautiful club with over 800 acres on the mountain, golf courses and a beautiful club house and a recreation complex that featured and in door heated pool, outside pool, work out rooms, etc. All with such scenic views and I was amazed at how cheap the HOA was for the houses; 650 a year.
We headed back to our place and got into a game of Phase 10 before starting supper. Dan was blowing us away with his luck in the game. The gals cut up onions, red, yellow and green peppers and mushrooms for the grill basket and had yellow rice and black beans waiting for the grilled chicken breasts and London broil to cook for fajitas, yeow what a feed and we have enough leftover we will bring with us for lunch today(Sun). They all left after eating to attend the demo derby at the fairgrounds in Sparta which is just a few short minutes from their rental cabin. I declined on a couple reasons as it was wet and cool after the huge rain plus it would mean another half hour drive after dark from town. We cleaned up the dishes then settled into the Ray's game on the internet of which they lost in the last innings. I hit the shower and then was ready for some read time before the sandman calleth around 10'ish, LATER
