Wednesday Morning April 22nd

Well Tuesday found us with lots of sunshine and less humidity as the storm and front from yesterday seemed to clear out the atmosphere. There isn't much to tell except for some yard and garden work as we stayed home once again to honor this quarantine imposed on US(A). I do believe this fear and panic is uncalled for unless your elderly and or with some underlying health issues. I do believe its stupid to get in someone's space but to be outside and staying a distance apart with a mask is plenty of space to keep from acquiring this disease. Most of this hype is promoted to destroy the nation and this potus at any and all costs to the folks of this nation.

I started the day much the usual with a before 6 rollout to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I spent some time with my Creator and Lord in thanksgiving and lifting up several. All seem as well as can be expected and a couple have some very severe underlying issues and are in a nursing facility. I think the use of common sense is a big factor in beating this virus and we have so many folks who now want socialism and have no concept of doing for themselves, except lay around and play video games and with their smart phones. Never would I have thought the nation would come to this point where rugged individualism has by passed the nation and we would actually have a candidate who would garner so much support for a socialist gov't. Now we have a corrupt candidate with the signs of dementia who will also be in contention for the leadership of this once great nation.

I took off after my morning routines on a good 30 minute power bike ride through the neighborhood and then came back and hand watered the gardens. I harvested some green beans, bell and jalapeno peppers as well as a couple pounds of taters that I grew from peelings that had sprouted in my compose area of the garden. The recently transplanted lettuce seedlings are holding their own despite the heat and lots of sunlight. The cukes have slowed down from the 5-6 daily to now just 1-2. The animal that was chewing up a couple every night seems to have either succumbed to the mice poison or decided to stay away. Home Depot no longer carries the packs of Decon for rats for some reason but does sell cubes of mice poison. I use to find the dead fruit rats every now and then and bury them in the garden where the earthworms used them up but now this mice poison doesn't leave any dead bodies, oh well.

I mowed the front and back yards as well as edging which kept me busy until lunch time. I finished up the leftover Zuppa soup which is definitely one of the best flavors ever. Nancy made beef-a-roni for supper using some of my Bell peppers which was an old favorite of mine as well. I spent the afternoon on You Tube watching video stories from different areas of the world and one of the best was the space lab circling the earth. It was a very fascinating video on the working and living conditions within the space station circling the earth every 45 minutes. It's amazing the technology developed to live within that weigh less atmosphere for long periods of time but to be able to send up supplies and parts from time to time and hook up with the main station is just almost unbelievable.

After the cleanup from supper we took off on a bike ride together through the hood around 7:30. The sun was still shining as the days get longer towards June. We are still planning on leaving for the cabin on May 31st unless something major happens. I know some folks still believe we should be under quarantine to this virus. We will see if the states start to lift their restrictions. We at least at this time should have some much cheaper gas as the market has a glut of oil. Let's hope America gets back to work and soon. I know the dems want to drag this out until November to hurt Trump's  re-election which I'm sure he will win anyhow. They are now floating the idea of Michelle Obama being his VP running mate and then Biden being replaced due to his dementia and she become the potus, GOD Forbid, LATER
