I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then lifted up several during my quiet with my Creator and Lord for comfort, healing and in some cases a miracle. Most that are on this list are holding for now but a couple have such health issues that if they are infected with this virus it could surely be the end. I did my social media feelings and checked the news before heading out to the Rec. to play outside with 5 others players for nearly 2 hours as I needed to be home by 10. Bobby and family were coming for the day and Nancy and I were watching the boys so they could take Annsley and Gabe to the beach with Ross kiddos.
I once again had a friend from church come by for leafy greens and then gave away another batch of collards and leafy greens to neighbor Bobby who will then make a dish of collards for the firemen as he goes on duty today(Fri.) The garden continues to grow with everything loving these cool nights and hot days except the Swiss chard which is just about gone. I think the nematodes have infected their roots. The recently transplanted volunteer tomato's look great and I placed some dried marigold heads in the hole with them as they are a natural deterrent to those pesky microscopic worms. I have some many volunteer tomato seedlings up in the compost pile that Tyler wants me to pack up six for him.
We had the boys all day and spoiled them rotten as we held them when they fussed. Bobby, Katie and the kiddos were at an old friends house(fireman) along with Amy and her crew since about 11'ish. They first all went to the beach except Katie who Bobby came and got around 12:30 or so. We fed the boys their bottles a couple times, played with them while they catnapped and then got ready for a supper of deer burgers, brats and dogs with tater tots and a fresh garden salad around 6'ish. I also pulled my first green pepper and along with some red and yellow peppers sauteed them on the grill to accompany the brats. Tyler can not eat garlic so I made deer burgers for him of which I had one over brats any day. They were delicious as was most every thing else.
Bobby, Tyler and the kiddos headed out to the back yard to play this game the Vikings of old used to play with real skulls and femur bones taken from their captives or that is the story that accompanies this game. Instead of the real stuff it is now blocks of wood and wooden spindles about a foot long which is thrown at the blocks of wood from a distance until all are knocked down until the King which is in the middle is the last to be knocked down. It's a hoot and unless you get lucky the spindles once hitting the ground flip in all kinds of direction. The grand kiddos loved the game all except Eliza who stayed and played with the boys. She is fascinated by them. It was a full day and nearly 9 when they all left for home.
I was ready for some down time and soon hit the showers after helping put the kitchen back in order. It was after 10 before I shut the lights off, LATER
