Well Thursday was another chilly morning to start with and lots of bright sunshine and a stiff breeze which lasted most of the day. I had a good 2 plus hours of pickle ball then spent the rest of the day working in the back yard after getting my ears lowered at the barbershop. It was a day for hair cuts etc. as Nancy was off to her hair lady getting her self beautified.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to 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. All that I lift up daily by name seem to be doing well but there are a few impromptu ones who are not doing great especially those police officers who have been gunned down. All of these police shooting and killings started with the last potus honoring a bunch of thugs and totally disrespecting this profession with his biased comments and inviting them to the white house. It was another one of his divide the nation racist attributes.
I headed out around 9'ish to the rec. on my bike and it was very chilly as I needed a flannel shirt to help stay warm against the cold breeze. I got in another great workout and then headed home and to the barber shop. Nancy was still gone so I rode my bike. I took my barber some tomato's as she didn't plant a garden this year with having a new grand child. She and her daughter run a small shop and has now been in business since I retired from the patrol in '04. I got back close to 1'ish and had a bite to eat then headed outside as it was a perfect day for weeding and raking the back yard of the unwanted weeds and grasses.
Amy and Eliza came for lunch and they had the Zuppa soup. I harvested two neighbors lettuces, kale and gave them tomato's as we are being over run by everything which is coming in. I picked another dozen tomato's and now noticed the plants on the other side of the garden are starting to ripen which will add more to the harvest. The lettuces are starting to mature and need harvesting and the collards are now ready for harvesting again as well. It seems these last several cool days have just invigorated all of the plants whereas a week or so ago I thought the garden was winding down.
We finished up the pot roast for supper from last night which was so delicious even as leftovers. The garden carrots were so sweet and delicious soaked in the beef juices over night and were just as tasty as the day before. After the cleanup I headed out to hand water the gardens and the front yard as I mowed them during the afternoon. Everything looks so green and healthy. I came in around 7'ish and watched a little of the FOX Cable news in between the Lightning vs Hurricanes who were playing in N.C. I have family and friends who follow the Hurricanes but it was a long night for them as the Lightning continued being the best team in the NHL with 6-3 win.
I showered in between the periods and was ready for some horizontal lab at the end of the game, LATER
