Well Monday was a bit nippy to start but soon warmed up to the low 70's with a nice breeze that came around mid morning. I headed to the Rec. around 8 despite it being closed for the whole week due to Pow Wow which is a carnival type atmosphere for the 3 day weekend but why they close the whole gym for a week is beyond me; but we pickle ball players have a net so we had the outside court for ourselves for most of the morning until we wore our selves out. We played 7 sets of regular scoring with some 20 ball rallies throughout the morning. I got back to the house around 11 and piddled around in the gardens.
The morning started with me sleeping a little after 6 as the time change had my body function screwed up but it seemed back to normal this morning (TUE), oh well. I did my quiet times after posting this ramble lifting up several. All seem well. The garden is producing once again and I'm cutting heads of lettuces, picking both kinds of kales and the cucumbers are setting fruit with tons of blooms. I have so many veggies and I'm begging folks to use them as well. The couple cool days really helped with lettuces and the collards are out of sight with their growing. I'm taking a batch to Brandon today for Katie's family when we head over after pickle ball to help with the boys during the day so Katie can rest.
Well after lunch I decided to work on my taxes and got bogged down with a couple questions. I'll see my financial advisor on Thursday and take his office a batch of collards as well. I'm hand watering twice a day with the wind drying out the garden so around 5ish I headed out to give it a watering while I grilled bone in pork chops. I loaded up my neighbor with radishes, sugar peas, kales, collards and some lettuces. She was pleased with the bounty. She just took an extra job of waitressing at the Cracker Barrel in addition to her own cleaning business. She wants to get away from cleaning but is finding the waitressing job harder than she expected; I think she is going through menopause and is having all kinds of issues, oh well. She is a great neighbor.
Well after the cleanup from supper I watched a little of the old socialist from Vermont on Fox Cable town hall with him and he has the young folks and muslims eating out of his hand. There were several in the audience who applauded his income redistribution schemes to tax the successful out of business to give them free everything and how he used some small countries with 8 million residents like Finland to push his socialism. He is such a hypocrite and has never worked a real job in his life except feed off the public dole while denigrating our potus who has turned the nation around and giving some self esteem for those who want to better their lives with working a job. If America elects him we are doomed but there is so much corruption among the dems he will be once again be thrown to the dogs by the democrat elites for "sleepy Joe" who I truly believe is suffering from dementia and whose family is obviously corrupt.
I soon hit the showers and started reading the book IMAGINARY FRIEND again. I'm about 2/3 through the 700 plus pages and it different to say the least. Bobby said it was an allegory and at times I'm seeing some resemblance to Christ in a very unorthodox story, oh well. It's a page turner to be sure between the real and unreal world. I read until 10'ish then it was horizontal lab time for me, LATER
