Well the month of July is nearly 2/3 gone. It was another warm and humid day here in the mountains as we saw temps in the 90's over in Galax, Va and about 7 degrees cooler here away from all the buildings and asphalt. There was a nice breeze at times but we are so thankful for the a/c here in the cabin which has been a huge difference sleeping despite some mornings in the 60's.
Saturday saw us doing little chores as we still had tons of laundry with the last of the beds stripped and so many towels to wash. We try to use the sun as much as possible for drying when we have enough clothesline but the dryer is always there on rainy days. We could actually use a little rain and the forecast is for some on the first of the week then its supposed to get back to normal with highs in the lower 70's. That will be a welcome relief and the garden should flourish with the rain. I did harvest lots of greenery yesterday for salads as well as a dozen or radishes.
I started the day much the usual now that we have no company for a week or so with my before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and ginger while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting several up for consideration. Seems Paw Paw is doing much better with the gummy's laced with cbd oil which is a by product of hemp. He has complained of his shoulder hurting for years and with two doses of the gummy's he no longer complains as well as he seems more settled. What a blessing for all especially Pat who is his care taker now. This new phenomenon works and we learned about from a dear friend who supplemented her dog with it who was severely injured and could barely walk; and now runs and plays as before. It must have some great analgesic properties.
I dropped Nancy off at Wal-Mart and then headed for the barber shop and gas station then picked her and another load of groceries up and we headed back on the mountain. It was 91 in Galax and 84 when we got home; what a difference. It looked like a rain storm was heading our way so I quickly got in the laundry which was hanging while we were gone and the rain went around us, oh well. We ate leftovers for supper then worked outside until it cooled down a little more before tackling the backwoods trail to the top of the mountain. We never saw anyone outside but did see the car of the folks who bought the Cline property. They are from Jacksonville, Fl. and haven't been up much this summer.
We spoke with our "mountain mom" Helen and learned her younger sister Martha fell over night and was now in the hospital in Elkin. She has been failing in her health for sometime with lots of weight loss and its unknown what her condition is as she keeps everything to herself. Hopefully she will get better as she, Helen and her brother Joe all live here in the county. Well the Ray's blew another 9th inning lead with poor relief pitching, LATER
