Well Wednesday started out chilly then warmed up to 65 and by early afternoon the front came through with clouds and wind and the temps dropped quickly to the low 50's and this morning(Thur) its 28 degrees. This is the coldest in 8 or 9 years. Hopefully the garden will survive as I covered many of the tender plants with sheets and blankets but at this low temp I'm not sure, especially if it stays this cold for several hours. The forecast is for it to warm up into the 50's by lunch but drop again this evening, oh well.
The day stated for me the usual with a before 6'ish rollout to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then a few quiet moments with my Creator lifting up several by name. Nancy spoke with GG and it was a good conversation. She had just got back from the doctor's office and he seemed real pleased with her progress after all she has been through this past several months as are we. Everyone else is doing OK when considering their ages and for this time of the year when its brutally cold outside with snow on the ground. Looking at that daily is in an of itself depressing with no sunshine, oh well such is life.
I did get in two hours of pickle ball at the Rec but what a chilly ride on my bike but was surprised at how quickly the temps moderated in those couple hours. I had a wet shirt when I left and headed home to harvest lettuces, beet greens, kale and some Swiss chard for salads. I cleaned and then used the spinner to get water off and put together a huge fresh garden salad and had enough left I bagged for further use. If the 28 froze the lettuces its a good thing I harvested yesterday, oh well. I headed out in a t-shirt to hand water the gardens and gave them a good drink as a wet ground seems better on the roots when the cold comes. Anyhow before dark I headed out to cover all of the peppers, tomatoes, cucumber and half runner bean plants as well as the new lettuce seedlings just showing some color.
Nancy has chicken fried deer steak for supper along with some garden green beans, yeow what a feast. I could eat deer steaks as my red meat forever its that tasty and oh so good for you especially when you butcher it yourself. Neighbor mountain Gerald gave me a nice deer ham before we left last fall and we butchered it into steaks and small pieces for fajitas. What flavor and Nancy loves it as well. After the cleanup we headed in to watch the real news on the FOX Cable channel.
Mr. Trump has the libs and dems in turmoil with all of his agendas to put the nation on sure footing. His economics has driven the stock market above highs never before reached and the big money is coming back to the country along with jobs. AWESOME is all I can say and there is now ongoing investigations into the Clinton Crime Family as well as the corrupt anti-American activities by Obama. Hopefully he will have enough folks who believe in what he is doing but I'm afraid there are so many corrupt politicians on the take that they may stymie his endeavors. We all know the MSM is biased except for Fox in their coverup for this past administration and now the libs and dem's want to give total amnesty to the million or so illegals who are costing us billions in welfare. They would rather have them as a voting block over our national security and taking care of our vets. Such egregious behavior I've never seen from within the nation which is understandable from the left leaning dem's and lib but also from within his own party; sad to say the least, LATER
