Saturday Morning.... Mar 14th

Well Friday was another busy day that started with the usual before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then lifted up several to my Creator and Lord for healing and comfort as well as giving thanks for my many blessings. I'm still able to play pickle ball 5 days a week for 2 to 3 hours at time and then garden until noon. Usually in the afternoon when the temps here in Florida at this time of year reach the upper 80's its time to chill with a good read until around 4'ish when its wine time and then I head back outside to hand water the gardens for the second time of the day.

I had a great workout at the Rec. despite it being closed to the public due to the Pow Wow which was quickly cancelled over night and all of the carnival rides were gone from the parking lots when I arrived at 8'ish. The cancellation was due to the hysteria of the Corona virus which is promoted by the fake msm to discredit our duly elected Potus Trump. Such diabolical means of the dems and those who hate this nation to destroy billions of dollars of wealth while at the same time lie and cause havoc with all gatherings; even gatherings of those who worship. I will say Trump has a handle on the issues and is keeping America informed and making the fake msm look just what they are; a cause for sedition. I sure hope patriotic Americans see just what they have and are doing to destroy this nation in hopes it will get their candidate elected who by the way is suffering the first stages of Alzheimer's in my opinion.

The garden is producing so much so quickly and now that all gatherings are cancelled I'm giving away leafy greens. Toni and Mark our friends from Michigan for years stopped by yesterday and I loaded them up with a couple sacks of greens and then I picked a huge mess of collard's for the fire department and gave to Bobby, our next door fireman for their meals this weekend. The lettuces are starting to head up and I did get another beautiful ripe tomato yesterday that was so delicious and tasted like the old fashion 'maters of yesteryears. We salivated over each slice at lunchtime. The cucumbers plants are loaded with blooms and setting nubbins as it the pole beans are finally sending out runners to climb the chain link fences. The sugar peas need picking as well and multiplying vigorously.

We decided to get together with neighbor and friends the Botbyl's for supper but instead of going out we ordered take out from Olive Garden. We learned that portion of their business was booming over the scare of gathering and rightfully so. The food was hot, plentiful and delicious and afterwards we got into a hotly contested game of Spades with the boys winning again despite a couple setbacks and going Nil a couple times. We visited until 9:30 and then I headed for the showers and read until after 10'ish. Since all of the sports have been cancelled for who knows how long I can at least be entertained with a good book, LATER
