Thursday Morning

Well Wednesday was another gorgeous day with tons of sunshine and not a lot of humidity. The sun was very hot but a nice breeze once again made it quite comfortable working in the yards and gardens especially towards the evening hours.

I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble and lifted up several by name to my Creator. All seem as well as can be expected. I got ready and headed out on my bike around 8 for the rec. for a solid two hours of pickle ball. Today Thursday I'll go in around 9 and stay until noon when we have an extra two hours with mainly A players. I must say many of our winter B players have left for the frozen north so the 8 o'clock meetings aren't quite as congested which makes for better play. We still have a few both men and women who will never progress to the A or even B levels of play; but they do come almost everyday.

I left at 10 and headed home in a stiff wind on my bike which gave me another workout. Nancy was getting ready to ride her bike to the rec. to workout on the thread mill as she is trying to shape up for the mountain hikes which is a real work out especially up the back trail from the cabin. It's less than 2 months until we head out. I'm getting pumped about getting the garden and flower beds ready for planting. I'm drying out some of these delicious tomato seeds to start here in Florida and take with me for the summer garden. The collards are still producing as it the kale where as the lettuces are starting to bolt due to the heat, so we are eating up as much lettuces as possible as well as giving it away.

Nancy had her Wednesday night Bible study at the rec. so after an early supper of rotisserie chicken, fresh asparagus and parsley taters I headed out to hand water and pull weeds from the front yard. I had mowed the yards after getting back from pickle ball and they are looking green but with lots of weeds in the front yard.  I worked outside until nearly dark as I did nothing after lunch but watch the Ray's play a day game which they lost in 11 innings 1-0. They had the bases loaded several times but could not get a run home to win the game.

It wasn't long after Nancy got back to house around 9'ish that it was shower time and then some horizontal lab, LATER
