Well time is moving right a long at such a pace which is hard to imagine. The day started out much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then gave thanks for all of the blessings and lifted up several by name to my Creator. It was another very nice morning with just no humidity which made it feel like a "cabin morning". The birds where singing and the fresh smell of Confederate Jasmine and Magnolia Blooms in the cool morning was awesome as I rode out on my bike to the rec.
I got in two hours of pickle ball play but the crowd is now down to just 8 players or so as many have gone back north. We still have a few A players but not many but the B's have left also and now we have mostly beginner's which makes it hard to get good play. I think I'll try a couple different venues later this week and for sure one on Wednesday as one more good player leaves for the summer, oh well. It's been good play for most of the winter months and at times almost too many players for these three courts.
I worked outside after leaving the rec until lunch time when Amy and Eliza Faye came. I pulled the rest of the sweet onions and for some reason they were just about rotted through and through. I did manage to save the heart of few of them but not many. I have no idea what caused that to happen. The tomato's are ripening in droves with 4-6 daily. The Sevin dust has helped with them being not infested with the fruit flies and rotting. I hate to use any pesticide but a little dust has made a big difference.
I hand watered the yards and the new plugs and they have really started sending out runners. The new tree is really sending out new growth as well with lite green leaves on the tips of the limbs. I'm hoping we will get some blooms which are supposed to be purple in color. It really is a nice shaped tree and has made a stark difference in the landscape with the new sod around it. I'm pleased with how it turned out. Well after taking a supper of a chicken and wild rice casserole to a shut in we came back and dined on one just like it with a kale salad as well. It was delicious. I headed out to hand water the gardens and the new grass again before dark as the evenings here are perfect for being outside.
I tuned into the Lightning versus the Bruin playoff hockey game and what a game as the Lightning won 4-2. Wow a physical game and now we go there for two games in Boston. I was flipping back and forth on the Ray's game from Detroit and that too was a close one but the Ray's won 3-2 in a game where all of the scoring was in the last inning. The relief pitching for the Ray's isn't the best and they nearly lost it after having a three run in the 9th, oh well. It wasn't long after the end of the game it was lights out for me a little after 10'ish, LATER
