Well Wednesday was another hot day with high humidity but I'm finally acclimating to it, so it was another work day outside in the yards and gardens after a couple hours inside the gym at the Rec. for pickle ball. I got in two solid hours of play and left whupped a little after 10.
I started the day with a 5'ish roll out as the body is trying to get use to the time change to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I post this ramble then spend some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name for comfort and healing. I've heard nothing to the contrary so I'm assuming all is well. I must say being active is a plus for ailments and old age. The body is remarkable in self healing if we just do not lay around and then eat right and not over indulge in any one thing.
I came back and hand watered the seedlings and weeded some areas in the garden where I'm about to transplant. Years ago I use some concrete pads for stepping stones alongside the driveway and the grass has just about covered them, so I decided to remove them and then fill in the space with garden dirt and let the grass takeover. Now these pads were about 2ft x 2ft and very heavy and several of them had cracked and broken in half over the years and were just about covered with the grass which has really taken off in the front yard since I removed the big oak tree a couple years back. Well that was a bigger job than anticipated which kept me in the full sun and by the time I finished around noon I had sweated by shirt soaking wet.
Nancy got back from her workout and we cooled down and had a bite of lunch. It was stay in the house until around 3'ish when she headed out shopping for a dress for this Saturday benefit dinner which is semi formal. I have to wear a tie to give money away and she had to buy a dress, shoes and purse. I would rather save that money and give it away, oh well. She mentioned she can use the dress on our first cruise next September to Alaska, oh well. She wasn't sure which dress fit the occasion so she bought two. Thankfully I have a jacket I seldom wear and while I'm not the clothes horse like she is I'm easy to please.
Well we had left over flank steak I grilled on Monday night which had been in the marinate for a couple days and wow what flavor along with fresh steamed broccoli and beets. Did you know the beets and their greens are a super food and most folks do not like them. We love them fixed anyway especially the young tender leaves in a salad and they are so inexpensive as well. We like the sliced beets on our salads and I love them pickled as well or just plain with a little butter. The 4 plants I brought back from my summer garden are producing new leaves and the row of seeds I sowed are now up. I'll leave them until they get a little size as beets can be tricky when transplanting them from seedlings.
I worked outside again until dark pulling weeds from both yards as well as watering the yards. Its amazing how fast the weeds can overtake a yard especially in the back yard which has a different variety of grass from the front yard. The front yard grass smothers out the weeds and just the opposite occurs in the back yard with a different grass; but once I get it established I think it too will smother out the weeds.
Well I tuned into Fox News and once against watched our duly elected Trump give a speech in Louisiana. He is letting the chips fall where they may with telling just what the dems are doing to his administration. This is another bureaucratic coup with this sham impeachment inquiry by those filled with the TDS while letting those in the former administration get a complete pass on their corruption and influence peddling and the msm is letting them do it. The msm is so corrupt we are learning they could have saved many young underage girls from Epstein and his buddy Bill Clinton when they squashed the story by one of their investigators and we all know the Clintons had him murdered while in prison to keep him from telling on them. In a way I hope she does run then just maybe all of her crimes will be exposed for all to see. This new AG Barr is looking into this corruption as well as a couple other investigators and we are learning just how crooked Obama and his sycophants are, oh well, LATER
