Well Monday finally saw us with some warmer temps which reached 70 for the first time in a week or more. It was overcast but still the warm air was great. We got a thunder storm over night which knocked out the power and my alarm clock which I seldom use was flashing and later than it really was so I got an extra hour of sleep which is quite unusual for me. Anyhow I'm an hour late making this post, oh well. I did stay up and watch the first half of the football game and the Bulldogs were leading by 13-0 which I shut the TV off a little after 10.
I did my morning routines on Monday that started with the hot tea, quiet times and then a cold ride out to to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball. We had a good crowd that was mixed with A and B players but I left with a wet shirt around 10'ish. I headed home and harvested a nice mess of collards and got them cleaned and ready for the pot with smoked bacon, fresh onion and chicken stock, yeow where they ever delicious after simmering for 6 hours at low heat. I grilled a couple New York steaks we brought back from the cabin and that was our supper, Delicious, I of course added some hot sauce and red pepper flakes to my collards.
Amy and Eliza Faye came for lunch as the Ava and Sam are back in school after the holiday break. Eliza was in her doctor mode and every one had to be her patient. I read for the next couple hours until they headed out. I did hoe everything in garden and fed some of the plants but didn't water as the forecast was for rain which occurred over night. That was about it for the day, LATER
