Well Wednesday was basically a work day for me as I'm doing a little more physical work each day plus we got in a long hike to the top of the mountain just before supper time. It was a beautiful morning to start the day with temps in the 60's but the humidity did come in around lunch time so the a/c went back on for the rest of the day.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then did my usual morning quiet time to give thanks, lift up several and pray for our nation. We can only turn this ship called America around with GOD's help as she is heading for an end to this awesome country, we know as the birthplace of freedom, liberty and the right to pursue happiness. The radicals are sending US(A) into destruction with the help of the democrat party, the msm and those in academia who are brain washing our youths in to socialism/communism. There is no longer a level playing field for folks to get ahead when those in the gov't are corrupt and want to stay in power as we are seeing by their hypocrisy and double standards of lawlessness in rewarding and making excuses for the violence. We all must pray for the nation because of the spiritual warfare that has now made everything once bad and unwholesome now good in the eyes of those who hate America. There those who want to see her destroyed from within by our own leaders in the congress and the last potus Obama and his sycophants. They are seeking a one world order or globalism much to the opposite of nationalism or America first that our Potus Trump is advocating and doing with his administration.
I headed out after a breakfast of fruit and cereal to check on the gardens and then loaded up the golf cart with several loads of the stump grinding which are now mulch. I have several large piles of the mulch so I decided instead of buying mulch use my own home grown for the circle bed and then the bed in front of the porch which houses our hydrangeas. That chore kept me busy until after lunch when I decided to not over do it with all of the shoveling of the mulch into the trash cans which I used to transport the mulch. I had a soaking wet shirt by the time I called it a day on the mulching, so I sat and iced the back a couple times while eating lunch. Our garden is producing some fine leafy greens and that is what we had for our lunch with some home grown cucumbers added to the mix.
We took off on a great hike to the top around 4'ish or so and stopped and chatted with the Robert's who bought the Browning place. They are making lots of changes to the place as they just love being here. We headed on across the top and saw no one else to chat with, then headed down the long way on the back trail. It was a good hike and the back held up well. I did use the back brace as I had given it a good work out with the mulching earlier in the day. It looked like rain in the afternoon and even the power flickered off and on a couple times but we had just a little rain, enough to settle the dust. We got into a card game and then it was non stop phone calls from Nancy's buddy Carol in Seminole, then daughter Amy and finally son Bobby. I did piddled around after a supper of brats and corn on the cob in the flower beds pulling some weeds until dusk.
We are taking our 'mountain mom" Helen to Galax today(Thur.) to purchase a new love seat for her cabin and then we will eat out at Applebees for a change. They now have their dining room open for eat in customers. Well not much more to share as it soon was shower time for me and then some horizontal lab around 10'ish, LATER
