I started the day well before a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot tea while I post this ramble and then honored my Creator and Lord with some quiet moments giving thanks and lifting up several. I continue to pray for our potus and this nation and for those who keep us safe from the criminals who have taken over many cities in our nation. The corrupt and inept leadership is appalling to say the least and those who riot, loot and burn as well as kill and main are doing so just to destroy our heritage, culture and economy and turn this country into socialism/communism. Those in the higher learning institutions have become so radicalized they should be charged with sedition. Many of those arrested for the insurrection and violence are teachers.
It rained buckets in Galax but we got nary a drop at the cabin which was kind of nice for a change. I understand the forecast for here later in the week is rain. I did hand water a couple of the bare patches I sowed with grass transplants from the fire circle area. Grass grows in that rocky area like I gave it fertilizer so I pull it up and then transplant them into where the tree stumps were ground down, so far many have lived. The garden continues to do well with the leafy greens and the cucumbers are really starting to produce. I'll start giving some away to friends and neighbors. We finished up the leftover zucchini pie for supper and wow was it ever as delicious as the day Nancy baked it. They too are still producing albeit not as fast as I like.
We took a hike around 5'ish as we had a huge mountain breakfast of cakes, sausage and eggs so I wasn't hungry for lunch and Nancy can not hike after supper any more; so we took off around the normal suppertime and hiked to the top of the mountain. I did O.K. and without my back brace. The back is doing good but not quite 100% yet. I'm not taking any OTC meds and the sleep is good at nights, so I'm on the mend. The physical exercise is really good for it and I'm pacing myself so as to not over due it. I'm catching up on some more physical projects daily, when resting I continue to keep an ice pack on the lower back.
The annual Gravel Springs Church picnic has cancelled this years yard party so we will not be heading up the valley to the Winchester area until maybe later this summer. Its usually the second weekend in August but this virus has everyone cancelling all events which I understand for the many elderly and those with some health issues. We were hoping to catch up on old friends and relationships while visiting my home areas. We spoke with baby sister Dee and her husband will have his severe painful knee replaced on the 11th of August so it will be sometime after that as he rehab's at home. All seems well with all of our kiddos and grand kiddos and we are still planning on Thanksgiving for the first time here at the cabin with the Ross Family and then again with the Triplett Family here a Christmas Day celebration. That could change having twins who will be a year old by then and to the weather which could be snowy at worst, oh well we will see, LATER
