Well Monday was a bit foggy to start but it soon burned off and the sunshine and humidity once again came forth. The a/c is back on and the dry air has gone which was so nice for a couple of days. I got in a good workout at the rec. as the gym is back open after being closed for a week due to Pow Wow which was a big success again this year. The weather held for a change and the parking lots at the library and the college was filled with hundreds of vehicles.
I started the day much the usual with my routines that start with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and then lifting up several by name. All of which seem as well as can be expected. We tried to call Paw Paw but Pat was busy doing her retirement thing as well as being a care giver to him which I know is full time job. We spoke with Helen our "mountain mom" and she is still cold from all of the wind, rain, snow and ice this winter and there is more to come next week according to her. She said Jonquils are up and they are beautiful which is a good sign Spring is on the way. I'm getting antsy about heading to the cabin as it only a couple months away and if this heat keeps up I'll be ready much quicker.
I headed out on my bike for a good two hours of pickle ball around 8 then made a stop at the library for a couple new reads by a new author I found and really like. James Lee Burke is his name and he writes about the down home issues found in small western towns around the turn of the century and into the '30. I've read three books so far and love the way he writes and the shelf at the library has several more. I piddled around in the garden picking beans, pulling carrots, tomato's and lettuces and kale. Nancy made a nice plate of some of them for the grands who were coming for lunch as they are out of school this week for spring break. They are growing so fast and Eliza has her dance recital on the first of June so we can come a week earlier to the cabin than last year.
The evening cooled off nice and with the time change I worked outside after supper in the front and back yards. The grass is really growing and with the fertilizer it has a deep green color and the Crepe Myrtle is in almost full foliage as well. The Petunias add so much color to the front yard with the Azaleas in full bloom and soon the Confederate Jasmine will give us some delicious fragrance. That was about it for the day as I tuned into Fox until 7'ish and then watched the Lightning beat a good Maple Leaf team on their home ice 6-2. We are heading for the playoff's and hopefully will bring the Cup back to Tampa once again as this team is on fire, LATER
