Well Wednesday was another warm sunny day with a few clouds around which kept the temps in the upper 80's, yet the humidity is ever present. I left the house around 7:15 to play pickle ball with 5 others at a local church as we tried to beat the heat and the sunshine. It was a great 2 plus hours of non-stop play. We are hoping the Rec opens up soon so we can have more players on the court where the sunshine is off to the side instead of head on with this court at the church. It's blinding to say the least as the court lays east to west instead of north to south. I left with everything soaked and had to wring out my shirt when I got home from the sweat. I dropped a couple pounds despite drinking lots of fluids.
I started the day with a well before 6 rollout to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and now Nancy got some green tea extract from the health food store which I add as well. It's supposed to give me added energy, just what I need. Anyhow I did my quiet time lifting up several by name to my Creator for healing and comfort as well as giving thanks. I checked on the news of the day and the weather in the mountains and its perfect for this time of the year. I believe the real cold is gone for the year but there are some 30's in the forecast with some 70's from time to time. I'm getting excited about the move there the end of this month.
There wasn't much to write about for the rest of the day except some hand watering of the garden and yards. Nancy was off once again to the grocery and I did head out to gas up the truck as we head to Brandon this morning(thur.) for a couple of days. My white orchids are blooming and I found 8 more buds about to open that will give me around a dozen blooms on this one plant. I do absolutely nothing to these air plants except maybe hit them with the hose once in a blue moon. They are the easiest plants ever and I've had them for years. They were our "mountain moms" plants when she moved to N.C. and she gave them to me when she left for good. I need to separate this white orchid plant next year as its expanded out of the clay pot.
Well we cleaned up leftovers for lunch and supper and then took a bike ride for about 30-40 minutes. I was a bit tired after playing pickle ball but Nancy needed the exercise and I knew she needed me pushing her to ride. It was a beautiful evening with a gentle breeze. Thats one thing about the hot days here as the evenings turn beautiful and very comfortable to be outside. We watched some FOX Cable News and then I hit the shower about 9 and was soon watching the History Channel until 10'ish, LATER
