Well Tuesday was another beautiful not to hot of a day with a nice breeze and plenty of sunshine. It was my kind of day that started with nearly 3 hours of pickle ball play, gardening and working outside while Nancy was gone until nearly 6:30 in the evening.
I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator in humble thanksgiving and lifting up several by name. All seem well as can be expected. Our calendar is filling up quickly with grand kiddo dates for sleep over's, cookie making with Nancy, basketball games, etc. What a joyous time of the year with huge family dinners and get togethers that start with a Thanksgiving gathering here next week. I've got the yards and gardens looking good and we are starting to really eat out of the garden for our salads which is always nice.
I headed out to hand water the gardens and kill sometime until nearly 9:30 before leaving for the Rec. Tuesday's and Thursday's are for the better players on the court after 10'ish until 2 as the gym is for pickle ball play. The gang of B players fill up the courts at 8 until 10 then Paul one of our players brings his canned music to play while we are playing and yesterday we had 2 courts of decent good players until after 12 playing. It was actually 12:30 when I finished my last game after starting around 9:30. I like playing at 8 but did enjoy the late play with the better players on these two days; so I think I will continue in this mode.
I got back to the house a little before 1'ish and had a lite lunch with a roll up and a beer before heading out to work in the garden and yards. I transplanted the collards and kale seedlings from the 6 packs into the ground after turning the soil over with a shovel. They each had put on 3 leaves which is a good standard for showing growth since moving them with two leaves into the 6 pack containers. Hopefully they will all make and I have a couple spare 6 packs of each just in case. I'll give what I don't need to Tyler so he can plant in his garden. I usually just share the veggies when they are harvested but this way since I started these from seeds he can have his own plants.
It worked outside the rest of the day pulling weeds from the back yard, hand watering and hoeing. I love being outside and never sat down until 4 ish when I came in from taking the laundry off the clothesline. I hung a load in the morning before going to the Rec. and for some reason seeing it drying outside on the clothesline is comforting, oh well. That scene takes me back to my young days on the farm when we had no clothes dryer, no running hot and cold water except what I pumped from the well. It was later in my life on the farm when we got one cold water line coming into the pantry which was off of the kitchen for running water. There never was a bathroom or a hot water heater in the old farm house until after I left home in '64. We heated water on the kitchen stove from the wood I had to keep cut and on the porch all my life.
Well supper was easy as we ate leftover vegetable soup for our supper along with some buttered saltines. They just go together so well especially using real butter. After the clean up we settled into the Fox Cable News for the real news and once again the impeachment hoax is in the news as the dem's are still trying to find some reason to destroy this duly elected Potus Trump. They are falling flat on their faces and looking like the idiots they really are. There is so much corruption to investigate within their ranks starting with Hillary and the Obama administration but the dems since they won the majority in the House are focusing on our potus. Despicable and laughable at the same time and I do believe most patriotic Americans are seeing through their charade of impeaching him for making America number one again. The real investigations are happening behind the scenes and when they are complete, we all are going to see the corruption within the dem party, LATER
Just a note Ava's team won their first game and she scored 6 points.
