Well Sunday was another beautiful day and a little on the warm side much like Saturday except we weren't in the hayfield which made it seem a lot cooler. Nancy is still having nightmares about that adventure and the heat in the barn while unloading the hay bales, oh well. She just can not take the heat any longer.
The day started with my usual before 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator while lifting up several and giving humble thanks for my blessings. All seem well and baby sister Dee and husband Mike made it to Colorado in two days traveling without any mishaps. Paw Paw seems to be improving while still in the hospital and we are thankful for both as it gives middle sister Pat a break, who is now his care giver which he can be a handful at times. The saying goes "we come into the world like a child and if we live to old age we become much like one again before exiting".
After a breakfast of fruit and nuts we tuned into BridgePoint our Florida church on the internet before heading out to Cornerstone our mountain church. We heard two messages both very inspiring and right to the point on Faith and and then again on Baptism which Cornerstone was doing later in the afternoon with a picnic to follow. We weren't at church last Sunday so we had made no plans to attend the latter events so we met up with Patrick and Mechelle at the local Japanese eatery in town for a delicious lunch. Kathryn was a no show due to a migraine. We made a stop at the Food Lion for a couple items before heading home and chilling the rest of the afternoon until 5'ish when we took a hike to the top of the mountain.
It was beautiful to say the least with a nice gentle breeze and we sat and chilled almost napping while gazing out across the great divide into the valley's below. We sat on the Brown's front yard chairs in the shade and it was just plain beautiful and so restful. I kind of nodded off a couple times as the woods were so still behind us and the breeze was so soft on your face after the steep hike up the back trail. We did see a car at the Browning's old place and another car came in the lane to another house but no one else was out and about on the top of the mountain. We came down and chilled the rest of the evening after I hand watered the gardens and picked 3 cucumbers which now seem to be setting fruit. We love fresh home grown cukes dipped in a ranch dressing or just added to a salad. We now can splurge instead of rationing them.
I tuned into the sports channel and then neighbor Gerald stopped by for a short visit and informed us of his upcoming comings and goings. He is back here at his cabin on a full time basis with daily trips to Christiansburg for part time work at the Lowes Store which makes it nice for us when we leave the end of October for Florida. He is a great neighbor and looks after the road as well as our cabin and pretty much keeps to himself unless we invite him for get togethers and pickle ball which he is now back to playing occasionally. We help each other out on jobs which require and extra set of hands or muscles.
I watched a little preseason football before hitting the shower around 10'ish and then it was horizontal lab for me shortly thereafter, LATER
