Friday Morning..March 27th

Well Thursday was another hot and muggy day here in central Florida with tons of sunshine and no rain which is greatly needed. I'm watering at least twice a day the gardens and sometimes a little more when working late outside until dark. The payoff is tons of leafy greens, cucumbers starting to mature and now beans are blooming after a late plant, oh well there is the upside to this hot weather but the a/c hasn't stopped for weeks.

I started the day with a before 6 rollout to my usual morning routines that always start with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some moments with my Creator and Lord in humble thanksgiving and then lifting up several by name for comfort, healing and even a miracle if GOD is still in the business of granting them. Our nation needs a miracle for healing after being inculcated with this virus; I'm wondering if we should repent for our kicking Him out of the nation first and for the notion that everything that was once good is now bad and vice versa that is being shared through this liberal ideology that now has a foot hold among so many. Just maybe if we due that, HE will heal our land as He once promised in the Old Testament. We need a "Coming to Jesus" talk again for many who have gone the way of the liberals and their heresy.

I headed out to Bardmoor which is a country club that has 6 beautiful pickle ball courts. I met up with one of our Rec. players and we got in with another group of much younger players for two plus hours of some great play. I was the old man among them but held my own and even managed a few victories despite these guys taking this game to serious. Today was the last day for open doubles play which allowed the public in to play; after today it was club members only with single play. I lost 4 pounds of sweat on the court and was down to 179 which I haven't seen in many moons. That gave me room for fresh baked apple pie and ice cream later in the evening after supper, yeow was that ever delicious. Nancy can whip anything in that oven of hers at a moments notice.

Well we gave away two separates batches of lettuces and leafy greens as they are maturing rapidly in these summer like temps. We had our campus pastor and wife come by for a sack full and the couple we are going to Alaska with September came by for a sack full as well. We stayed well apart due to the separation which is supposed to keep us from sharing this virus but did enjoy some visitation. We surely miss our get togethers at church and life groups. We are hoping to get back to regular weekly meetings soon, but so far we are doing the online chats which is awesome due to this modern technology with the internet, LATER

This is the dill herb which is going to seed and I will dry them and use for replanting later at the cabin. I got the original seeds from a plant our mountain friends gave us from their garden/yard last summer. They have moved back to Florida permanently due to his health issues. We will miss them.
