Well Monday was a wet soggy overcast day that started out rather warm but the breeze out of the north quickly changed that by lunch time with clearing skies and cooler temps. We had a terrific rain storm Sunday and into Monday morning with several inches of rain that brought our total up close to 5 inches for the month which is usually a dry month.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and the spent a few quiet moments in thanksgiving for another day and lifting up several by name. Nancy had a nice conversation with GG and she seemed to be improving. I didn't hear from Paw Paw over the weekend but he sounded good last Friday and Joe is doing fine once again living alone at his mountain house. Helen will be turning 90 in a couple of weeks and she is doing good as well still living alone and driving herself to town to church and the grocery store weekly. She amazes me at her age how independent she is.
I headed out on my bike for the Rec. where I got in two hours of continuous pickle ball play with several good players. We have a couple snow birds back who are good players so the action is fast with long rallies; by 10 I was whupped and ready for a rest. I didn't have to water the garden but did harvest lettuces, kale, beet greens and some Swiss chard. I cleaned and then spun them to get the water off and broke them up into a huge salad bowl which will last us a couple days. The new lettuce seedlings were beat down from the rain but I think will make a recovery and soon will be in the salad bowl as well. I have three new lettuces maturing as the older plants are starting to bolt. I still don;'t have any tomato's set but do have lots of blooms. The bush beans are coming back with new leaves and the new kale plants are almost ready to harvest as well.
We had Amy and Eliza for lunch and after they left we headed over to the Home Depot for new ceiling fan blades and for some paint samples to cover the red dining room walls as it will not go with the living room furniture, oh well. There are so many shades of blue and obviously I can not tell the difference as no decision was made. We visited neighbor John's house who just recently painted his whole kitchen a gorgeous dark blue and had nearly a gallon leftover and offered it to us. I will paint a swatch to see if it will be the right blue as Nancy sees stuff in the color I don't see, oh well.
I grilled peppers and onions along with chicken breasts for our supper and then after the cleanup we settled into the Fox News channel. Finally the second in command at the FBI was either forced out for complicity in the cover up for Hillary or he saw the writing on the wall and decided to retire. I think all of these in this department should be held accountable for their inept and biased investigation's to over thrown the duly elected president. I know from the top down starting with Obama there was complete complicity in the DOJ and FBI and it first started with the IRS to undermine the right wing /conservatives party. Remember Lois Learner how she was given a pass and now we see how that spilled over in the premier law enforcement community, oh well.
The dem's are in trouble and now we ALL need to see just how much starting with Obama, Hillary, Holder, Lynch, Comey and several in the DOJ. Shameful to think there is so much corruption and collusion and none of it relates to President Trump but all to the democrat party. No wonder they do not want the facts revealed to the US(A) and I'm sure there are some dirty Rino's(rep's) within the bunch as well. I'm looking forward to our POTUS's speech tonight as he once again extoll's the remarkable turn around in the economy and America's exceptionalism. We now have a POTUS who loves the folks of this nation and wants whats best for US(A) first and then for all of those who want to join this bandwagon. Here is another Reagan like leader and the lib's and dem's are besides themselves.
Well after a hot shower it wasn't long until I was ready for some horizontal lab around 10'ish, LATER
