Thursday Morning Dec. 19th

Well we have finally received some of that northern cool temps and weather after the front moved into the area on Wednesday. We finally saw a little sunshine during the late afternoon that warmed up slightly outside. I had on a sweat shirt and long pants for the first time since getting back from the cabin. It was a day I handed out Nancy's cookies to all the neighbors and the baking has finally stopped.

I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several by name. I headed out on my bike against a strong cold wind to the Rec. around 8'ish for two hours of pickle ball play. We were in the gym on this day due to weather and the play was rather good considering we had to play with some of the B players; but I was there for the exercise and managed to stay on the courts for two solid hours despite having to change partners after each set. It's the luck of the draw with who you get and sometimes they are the less experienced player, oh well.

I stopped off at the library and picked up a new read I had ordered. I'm just about finished with REVIVAL by Stephen King and its an interesting read. He at times writes some very good reads and this is quite the unusual one, vey interesting. I piddled around in the garden until lunch time and picked up some grass my neighbor had dug out so she could plants some shrubs along our fence line. I took the mower and mulched the grass for compost for my garden. I had a whole wheel barrow load which will add much to the garden for worm food. I noticed one of the volunteer tomato plants I brought back from the cabin has now set at least a dozen green fruits. I'm not sure what they will turn out to be but the plants are now nearly 6 foot tall and loaded with fruit and blooms, so I should have plenty to share with family and friends if the nematodes do not kill them. I finally have marigolds up and ready to transplant into 6 packs and then surround the tomatoes with them as they are a natural deterrent to these microscopic worms called nematodes which look like knots on the roots of plants.


We decided to go meatless for supper for a change as we had a baked sweet tater, fresh green beans and canned beets. We had sampled some of the cookies through out the afternoon and decided to eat lite. After the cleanup we settled into the Fox Cable news and saw where the dems in the congress were implementing articles of impeachment against our duly elected potus Trump. Such a despicable and unwarranted act as they set the rules because of their majority. Talking about the rule of law which they set that he was guilty with no chance to call those who accused him of these two unheard of issues they made up to denigrate his presidency and hopefully destroy his chance for re election. I think this will come back to bite the dems in the rear next November and further destroy their chances to stay in control of the house. This is totally a partisan sham event and while there are plenty of folks who do not like Trump because of his brashness he is still the best potus we've seen in decades since Reagan. The dems are corrupt and biased towards this potus because he is exposing their corruption in D.C. and the MSM is their front in helping to destroy Trump.

Well it wasn't long after a hot shower on this chilly evening the warm bed was calling me for some horizontal lab, LATER
