Saturday Morning..16 days to go

Well Friday was another day of mixture with both play and work. It was certainly another hot humid day after about 11 AM but the early morning bike ride to the rec. was just gorgeous. I even entertained thoughts of playing pickle ball outside today (Sat.) as the gym was closed at 8 AM, but could only find one taker and then she backed out as we left the rec. later in the morning.

I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea lace with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble then did some quiet time with my Creator lifting up several by name. All seem well. I got ready and rode my bike to the rec. for two hours of pickle ball with a small crowd but did get in a good workout despite only a couple of A players in attendance. I left around 10 and headed home to piddle around in the garden, hand watering and taking down some of the dried up tomato plants well as pulling weeds and harvesting the last of my carrots. I also harvested a nice mess of jalapenos many of which I will give away. I still have several on the two plants and will take them with me to the cabin.

I headed in around noon to grab a bite to eat and cool off as the temps were on the rise until late afternoon when things cooled down. Nancy is starting to feel better but is still limited on what she can eat due to no chewing for a week or so. It seems this surgery on the face has bad side effects from chewing so she is sucking much of her food through a straw and from a spoon. The bandage comes off today and then she must use a special cream on the incision and stitches. We are still planning on the overnight sleep over with kiddos but she is supposed to limit her speech as well. That may become an issue with 5 grands.

I worked outside in the yards and gardens after supper and it was quite pleasant with the off shore breeze. We didn't get any rain the past two days and things were dried out so I hand watered again especially the new seedlings. They look as if they will make it thus far. I buried the packs into the garden which helps with keeping them moist. I tuned into the Ray's vs Yank's game and it had a rain delay in the 8th with the Ray's up 3-1. I'll check the scoreboard on who prevailed, LATER
