Thursday Morning

Well Wednesday was another busy day except for after lunch when I got into a new read by Ed McBain(a.k.a.) Evan Hunter. The Streets Of Gold is a fantastic read from the perspective of a blind from birth Italian youth born in New York City. I spent a couple hours during the hottest part of the afternoon reading.

The day started out much the usual with my before 6 roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some with my Creator in thanksgiving for another day and all of the blessings of life while lifting up several by name. No news from Paw Paw but GG and Helen are doing fine as can be expected and Dee is home from her surgery on Monday. It's been a miserable winter in the mountains with cold, snow and now wet weather for days. The Farmers Almanac was correct in its prediction about the winter and now I read where the predictor of the "global warming crowd" are saying they may have been mistaking. Well I don't believe man can change the atmosphere especially when there are huge volcano's that can spew megatons of carbon into the air and having been doing so since creation, oh well just another liberal ideology to transfer our wealth to someone else's pocket. Personally I don't give any credence to any liberal thinking especially the special interest groups who are only looking to take away our manifest destiny and individualism.

I had a great workout for two hours on the pickle ball court and then made a stop at the library on the way home. Nancy was off to the doctor for her eye infection and was prescribed an anti-biotic drop for them. It's supposedly very contagious so I'm keeping my distance and I think using all of that eye makeup she uses doesn't help either. She was supposed to attend a girls meeting but she cancelled out so we cleaned up the leftovers from the night before for supper; delicious turkey, tater cakes, broccoli and gravy.

Well I worked outside after supper until nearly 8 o'clock hand watering, pulling weeds and making grass sprigs for the yard. New runners are finally appearing from the sod pieces and I'm hopeful with daily watering they will cover the front yard by the time we leave in June. There is much new growth on the tips of the Crepe Myrtle tree as well, so I'm thinking it is getting established. I watched most of the hockey game until the Leafs fell behind with the Bruins then shut the lights out at 10. The Lightning will play the winner on Saturday in Tampa and the Ray's beat the Orioles in Baltimore with their 6th straight win, LATER
