Well Monday was rather overcast and we did get a little rain for a couple hours, no down pours but a nice soft rain which also dropped the temps once again. It was just plain nice out for this time of the year. It's hard to believe its April already and although the a/c is on its really not that bad for our area.
I started the day with my usual 6'ish roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble then lifted up several to my Creator. I spoke with Paw Paw a couple days ago and he sounded really good. He and Pat were sitting in the warm sunshine on her porch in W.Va. He seems to be in a good frame of mind but related the incident in the nursing pavilion where he had his arm and shoulder injured several years ago but remembers it as last month or so. Oh well at 91 we can give him a bye. All else seem as well as can be expected as I've heard nothing to the contrary.
I headed out a little before 8 on my bike to the rec. for two good hours of pickle ball play and then made a stop at the library before heading home to hand water the garden and harvest carrots to take to Amy's for supper around 6. After a lunch of fresh salad we made a run to Home Depot, gas station and Audi's for some goodies in the rain. I did harvest and cleaned another two colanders of lettuces, kale and Swiss chard so we would have plenty of fresh salad. This maybe our last couple weeks of lettuces but if it stayed this cool they may survive a little longer. Lettuces and extreme heat don't go together.
I read the rest of the afternoon then we got ready a little before 6 and headed to Amy's for a delicious supper of what she calls "sour belly". It's smashed taters with noodles in a chicken cream sauce on top of the taters. Lots of carbs but oh so delicious. The kiddos love the carrots both cooked and raw from the garden. We visited until 7:30 as it was a school night and they have their routines now that Amy is working half a day at the school. Hopefully next year they will only pay half of their regular amount for three kiddos which will be a big savings because she will be full time employed there at the school.
After the cleanup we got back to the house around 7:30 or so and watched both the Ray's and Lightning and both were winners last evening. It wasn't long afterwards I was ready for some horizontal lab, LATER
I have to admit I got both Nancy and Amy on April's joke every year and they always lament thinking next year its their turn to get me.
