Well Monday was almost a perfect day, much like the many we have in the mountains at the cabin. It was 59 degrees this morning with just a slight breath of air which gave you the sense of being chilly and for Florida this time of the year is almost unheard. It's usually hot humid, mosquitoes buzzing your head and sweat when you just walk out the door let alone ride your bike to the rec. at 8 in the morning and wish you had worn a flannel shirt, oh well. I'm sure this weather will cease and when it does it will be in unmerciful.
I started the day much the usual with my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble and then lifted up several by name to my Creator which by the way we celebrated the resurrection on Sunday and really I celebrate it every day. All seem as well as can be expected and I've heard nothing to the contrary. I rode out to the rec. on my bike for two solid hours of non stop pickle ball play before heading home a little after 10. I hand watered the gardens and picked more tomatoes and found a large fruit rat which had been eating the poison I put out for mice as I could not find the old D-Con rat poison; but the rat was somewhat not well and I finished it off with a shovel then buried in the garden for the worms to eat this summer. It surely ruined a couple dozen tomato's while it feasted on my tomato plants, oh well.
I started to clean out where the water softner was located in the garage which meant moving the dryer so a technician could get in to service it and removing a hundred pounds of salt out of the container by hand. I needed new valves, seals and the jelly looking stuff in the round cylinder which actually filters the water. It's been 10 years since I last had it serviced and the same tech did it then. It's amazing I've never done anything except add salt when it gets low in the large round container in all those years. My system is somewhat outdated but still works as the new system is nearly sixteen hundred bucks. The tech says mine is a good system without all of the bells and whistles but it works great so I'll keep it. I blessed him with some collards and tomato's as well and learned he is from Virginia.
Well that project kept me busy for a couple hours as I assisted him or really kept him company. I read for the next couple hours and then we ate some left over soup for supper and finished up some leftover desserts of which I had the lemon pie at lunch and a small slice of cheesecake for supper. Wow have I ever been bad with the sugar this weekend. I was holding at 180-182 for the past several days but I'm afraid to jump on the scales after all of the carbs and sugar, oh well. I tuned into the Ray's game after supper and they came from behind with their big bats booming and won the first game of three against the K.C. Royals. Tyler took Sam and they had a fun time with some selfies they sent home. That was about it for the day as after a shower it was horizontal lab for me. We had the windows open all day but closed them for the night, LATER
