Wednesday Morning

Well Tuesday as a mixture of play and work that started with a rather nice morning with low or no humidity and temps in the high 60's and it did get rather hot in the mid afternoon which required me to stay inside and read for a couple hours. After supper I ventured out to work in the front yard planting sod plugs in the areas that have no grass or where the weeds have taken over. I feel sure these plugs or chunks of sod will take but I'm still not sure about the sod over the large area where the huge oak use to stand despite the grinding of the stump. There is still a lot of wood below the ground level and despite the adding of dirt on top of that area I'm wondering it the sod will take.

I started the day with my before 6 roll out to my usual routines of hot tea with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving for another day and all the blessings of life as well as lifting several up by name. All is well with those folks and Spring has sprung in the mountains with temps up into the middle 60's but another cold front is moving though later this weekend and there is a chance of the frozen white stuff again, yikes. While the sun is hot and it's dry its not unbearable outside and the evening are almost perfect. So far the humidity has been scarce and I'm hoping this cycle with remain for sometime, but we could use some rain.

I had a tremendous workout on the pickle ball court for two hours with all good players and left with a wet shirt on my bike for home. Nancy was wanting to do some Sam's Club shopping as well as a stop at Audi's upon my getting home. We loaded up from both places before heading home and having Amy and Eliza for lunch. The fresh garden salad was awesome to accompany a doctored up frozen pizza, yeow such good eatin'. Afterwards I became a patient for Eliza Faye as she loves to pretend to be a doctor. She has the routines down for all of the checks and administered a couple shots which has "good medicine" to make me feel better. I think she may have found her niche for what she wants to do in life; we will venture back to this writing in about 20 years(if I'm still around) to see if this comes true, but she loves pretending to be a doctor. She is managing quite well with her cast on her primary right arm but does need some assistance on eating from time to time. She is the first grand child to experience a broken bone.

We finished up the Sunday Easter meal of leftover smashed taters and roasted carrots from the garden along with that delicious lamb gravy and of course lamb. This is one of my favorite meals ever and to think I never ate it until I met Nancy's folks. GG use to make the best lamb roast and then of course we would occasionally have lamb chops which are to die for. This evening(Wed.) we are entertaining the Botbyl's and the Tracy's for a chicken fajitas supper as we celebrate Dan and Carols anniversary. Should be a fun evening of good eatin' and games.

I headed out to work outside until dark as it was that nice outside. I set the sprinkler on the new sod and then cut up a couple of left over pieces and planted them in the bare areas. It wasn't long afterwards I was in the shower and then watching the Lightning destroy the first place Boston Bruins in hockey. Lights out for me was 10'ish with some horizontal lab, LATER
