Well Wednesday except for 2 hours of pickle ball in the morning was a total outside in the yards and gardens work day. It was chilly to start the day with temps in the middle 50's and some high clouds which made for great afternoon work that may have reached the low 80's. A slight breeze made it very nice with little or no humidity. Nancy was gone all day so I could work uninterrupted and I loved it.
I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting several up by name. All seem well as can be expected due to their issues and ages as I've heard nothing to the contrary. I got ready to ride out to the Rec. for a couple hours of pickle ball play and it was a wow moment when I stepped outside. I headed back in to put a long sleeve flannel shirt on as it was cold. Now I know 50's isn't cold compared to the single digits but when you are use to the upper 90's with high humidity for days, 50's with dry air is rather cold. It was a cold ride to the Rec. but by 10'ish it had warmed up greatly and it was tee shirt and short's the rest of the day.
I transplanted a couple dozen kale and collards that I had started from seeds and then transplanted 3 cucumber hills as well as sowed a row of sugar peas. I mover the 6 tomato plants that were just barely seedlings up into larger pots. Most of these I will give away as I already have 3 large tomato plants they have reached nearly 2 feet in height. I can not get my marigolds to germinate from seeds saved from last years crop here in Florida. They must have been killed by all of the heat but they usually are very hearty and grow anywhere. They are a natural deterrent to nematodes which live in the warm soil and attack several of my plants roots especially tomatoes. I placed several dried up heads in the holes when I set the 3 tomato's out; so far so good.
Well Nancy was gone from mid morning until 4'ish with sister Betsy who is on vacation from the post office and recuperating from her toe surgery. They seemed to have had a grand time shopping and they did stop at the newly renovated Aldi's near us in Seminole. We use a lot of their products which are much cheaper than Publix. Nancy said it looked great inside and seemed much bigger. I watched on the internet some of the days impeachment hearings and it was a total joke and a hoax. The dems are so filled with the TDS they are embarrassing themselves and I'm sure it will come back to bite them next November.
We had a nice garden fresh salad with the grilled chicken cut up on it for our supper along with a glass of the fruit of the vine before hand. We settled into the Fox Cable News after the clean up until I started nodding off around 8:30. It was shower time and then I watched a little more TV until 10'ish then it was lights out for me, LATER
