Thursday Morning

Well Wednesday was an uneventful day except for son Bobby stopping by for lunch while he was over in our county. Most every thing else was much the usual for me except I did harvest the last of the carrots which were awesome this year. They were the largest ones I've ever grown and in the same small bed on the side of the house. I gave away carrots to everyone and we ate plenty for ourselves.

I started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to my hot tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet moments with my Creator in prayer and thanksgiving while lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. All is well with those I mention daily during that time and of course I pray for our nation and our president and his family. He is doing a remarkable job as the nation is on a course of recovering some values and our economy. He honored our law enforcement community which hasn't been done in the last 8 years under the past potus who was responsible for the loss of respect for those who are on the daily front line of keeping us safe from criminals. What an honor they have become with this potus.

I did my workout on the pickle ball court despite having a small crowd of players and then stopped off in the weight room for a 30 minute work out on the incline of the tread mill. I need to start getting my climbing legs back as hopefully we will be hiking the steep back trail at the cabin in less than a month. We have some friends who are back in the mountains and the wild flowers are in bloom. We will miss the lilac's and the peonies again as they usually bloom in late April and early May, oh well. I love the smell of both and the dog wood's should be blooming by now or maybe they too are finished. I love the Spring time in the mountains.

I picked a dozen or more ripe tomato's and now have several egg plants starting to really fill out. I'm ready for some fried egg plant or maybe some parmesan. I will have several to give away as I bought one plant but it had two stems, so I separated them and now they are both over 4 feet tall and loaded with new fruit and tons of blossoms. I picked some of the dried bean pods and will use them for next years planting after shelling the dried beans out of the pods. I have a total of seven beautiful white orchids which are still gorgeous after several days. The rain did start to break them down but has brought on the grasses and the new Crepe Myrtle tree in the front yard. We so needed that rain.

Well the Ray's won again and it was a sweep of the Royals and the Lightning play again tonight (Thur.)  Let's hope we can get back to being even in the game wins with the Capitals. We are learning more ever day of the corruption within the higher ups of the DOJ and the FBI and how they along with the CIA, NSA and the Obama administration decided to undermine our duly elected POTUS. This is treason in my book and all of them should be imprisoned or put to death including the past potus who we all know was in charge, LATER
