Well Sunday was a good day of worship as we were back in church with many other believers at Cornerstone in Sparta and then again with our on line service for Bridgepoint in Florida, plus it was a beautiful day with cool temps in the morning and it may have reached the low 80's by the afternoon. We met us with Jake, Katelyn and baby Skylar for lunch at the local Mexican eatery in Sparta. We did a little shopping at the Food Lion afterwards for some bargains before picking up Nancy's scripts at Walgreens then heading home. We both were full from the lunch so I napped briefly and then we settled into a couple card games before taking our first full hike for me in several weeks.
The back held up nicely as we did the full hike but took it slow. I'm thrilled its starting to show some good signs of maybe it will heal completely although in the mornings its still a bit stiff and there is some ache but nothing to what it was in the beginning. The physical activity seems to help it and I do ice it down, once again a couple times throughout the day and evenings.
We spoke with Amy and they are getting a Bull Mastiff puppy later in the Fall. It hasn't been born yet but the kiddos are crying out for a dog, especially Sam and Tyler wanted one for protection for the family as well. Wow, dogs are not cheap and this one is going to run around 2 grand and its coming from Alabama, oh well. I'm sure glad we are over the dog stages as we had Doberman's for close to 30 years or more.
We came back from our hike and had a sandwich around 6:30 then piddled around in the flower beds. The one we sowed with wild seeds is starting to show some colors and we found that sweet basil is among the many plants that came up. Lots of the recently transplanted grasses in the bare areas of where the stump were ground down are showing some promise with all of the rain almost daily. The other yard grasses are lush and green as well. The hydrangeas are showing lots of purple and a couple pink blooms as are the zinnias beds. I harvested a couple more cucumbers and noticed a couple more zucchini's coming on as well.
Well Nancy was on the phone with neighbor Carol from Seminole for what seemed hours so I hit the shower and then some horizontal lab a little after 10'ish, LATER
