Well Thursday turned out to be almost another beach day despite the front that move through during the night with heavy rain and wind. An area north of us sustained some heavy damage in a mobile home park but no one was injured. It was supposed to turn much cooler but that has stayed away as of now but the models do show some cooler temps heading our way.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my usual routines that start with my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and ginger while I post this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator. All seem well to those I lift up daily and then give thanks for my many blessings. I headed out around 9:30 to the rec. on my bike for what turned out to be a good 2 1/2 hours of pickle ball with A players. I left with a wet shirt after 12'ish and the bike ride back to the house was surprisingly warm. I expected the temps to drop with the breeze but it stayed in the low 70's all day with bright sunshine and blue skies.
We had a salad for lunch then I headed out to work in the garden and yards. I didn't have to water but the heavy rain packed the soil so I loosened around all of my new lettuce seedlings and gave them a dose of miracle grow as well as potted up 24 new lettuce seedlings into 6 packs to be transplanted when they get another couple leaves into the garden proper. I noticed several egg plants starting to make fruit as well as the tomato's are loaded. The collard greens where wonderful and we had enough leftover to go with our hamburger steak on the grill for supper. My they are so good and the new way we prepare them is the best ever. I finished up another historical novel by Dennis Lehane about the mafia in Ybor City/Tampa back in the 30's and it was a real page turner. After the cleanup from supper we settled into the FOX CABLE NEWS and see once again the dem's and Pelosi will not compromise anything with our duly elected POTUS Trump to put the government back to work and secure our southern border. I'm wondering how many more illegals will enter the nation and do harm to US(A) along with the drugs and terrorists. It's down right hypocritical to what she is doing to not give Trump another win, LATER
