Well Saturday was a lazy day which saw the temps drop throughout the day with overcast skies. We did get a little rain during the night so I didn't hand water the garden and this morning it was down once again into the low 30's, yikes. I didn't cover my plants overnight but when I headed out at 6 this morning I saw no frost. The breeze kept that away but it was a cold ride out to the SPC where I helped with the load in for BridgePoint Church along with several other volunteers.
I did my usual morning routines that started with a cup of hot tea while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet moments lifting up several by name. I did speak with Paw Paw and he sounded good and mentioned it was very cold with some snow still on the ground. I noticed the webcam in Blowing Rock had snow falling as well but didn't see any at the cabin. Nancy spoke with her mom and they had a big snow in Michigan as well with below freezing temps. What a winter so far this year.
We did much of nothing during the day but I did catch up on my reading and napping. We headed out around 5'ish to Amy and Tyler's to celebrate Eliza Faye fourth birthday and she was wired. Bobby and family arrived around 5:30 and the kiddos took off to their bedrooms to play and then we had a marvelous supper of beer in the rear smoked chickens, mac and cheese, pinto beans and Cole slaw. Nancy made cup cakes with sprinkles on top per Eliza's request. She was in her glory with all her new presents and new bike with a seat to carry her baby on the rear, so cute.
We watched a little of the playoff games and it was very cold in both of the cities where the games were being played outside. Neither game excited me as I've lost a lot of interest in their politics of failing to honor the flag and the anthem in protest of our Potus. It wouldn't bother me to see the league fail along with Hollywood. They are entertainers and should stick with that, oh well, just my opinion, LATER
