Well Monday was another warm day that actually seemed almost like a summer day after lunch time. It was a busy first half of the day then I relaxed and read for a couple hours before grilling and then piddling around in the yards and garden after a nice breeze made it quite comfortable to be out side. The Ross Family(Amy) came by around 7'ish for a banana pudding delight and the the kiddos were wired so we played charades for an hour which was a hoot.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and spent some time with my Creator lifting up several by name. All seem as well as can be expected and the virus so far hasn't infected anyone that we personally know. Let's hope it stays that way. I headed out on my bile around 8'ish for the Rec. for close to 3 hours of pickle ball, all outside. We had a total of 6 players so it you got beat a set you sat out for a rest which was almost great to get once in awhile. I sat out one set all morning and left whupped with a wet shirt as I had good partners.
I made a quick stop at the library for another Evanovich book before heading home. I have 4 of her books on order all about the bounty hunter stories which are intriguing and funny as well. It's good easy reading for a change after the Imaginary Friend book which was a bust in my opinion after a good start, oh well. I worked in the gardens until lunch time, hand watering and pulling weeds as well as harvesting some beets for our supper, yeow are they ever delicious and so good for you. Along with them I cut up a whole chicken and grilled all the parts for our supper. When we first started out raising a family we would get whole chickens for 19 cents a pound and I saved money by cutting them up and this was one of our big suppers as well as leftovers for lunch weekly. I didn't check the price on this chicken but the last one we bought was around a buck a pound which is still a bargain at todays prices. Slow grilled it makes for a delicious meal.
We had a garden fresh salad for lunch and the lettuces are heading up beautifully so I'm giving away as much as I can before they bolt due to the heat. Everything else is doing just fine and the beans are sending out runners as well. Soon the leafy greens will die due to the heat but the peppers, egg plant and tomato's as well now I have several hills of potato's from the peelings that sprung up in the compost. I've transplanted several of those and hope to have new taters soon. The cucumbers are climbing and if every bloom sets a fruit I can open up a veggie stand.
Well, thats about it for Monday as we head over to Brandon today(Tue) to babysit the boys. It seems they are sleeping longer during the night which is helping with Bobby and Katie getting some much needed rest and sleep as well. We were scheduled to spend the nights there this week but Bobby's flights for his job were cancelled due to this virus so we will just spend most of the day loving up on these boys, LATER
