Well this month is nearly half gone already and we are getting the cabin ready to leave it for hopefully just about a month as we are planning on coming back for a week during the Thanksgiving holiday with Amy's family. It was their idea and since had never spent any of the winter holidays here we gave it a consideration and now its on the books.
Tuesday turned out to be another gorgeous day after a foggy start. The skies cleared and Nancy even hung a load laundry on the clothesline around mid morning. I started the day as did we both with a 7'ish roll out to our morning routines. After I finished this post and my quiet time to honor my Creator, giving thanks and lifting up several by name as well as our potus Trump and his family and those who are patriots of this nation, I headed out for the first of three hikes to the top of the mountain. They are getting easier day by day and I can feel my body responding to these exercises, albeit just hiking and some stretching, but what a climb. Nancy is now only stopping a couple times as we head up the steep incline when we take our hike together. I never stop on my power hikes which is helping with the cardio as well.
I came back and had a semi mountain breakfast of deer sausage, eggs with a chopped up garden grown tomato and jalapeno pepper. That held me until our supper except for an apple with a little peanut butter around lunch time. We thawed out the frozen ribs for our supper, along with a baked tater and a salad. We are trying to stay away from as many carbs as possible but at the same time clean out the fridges and freezers before departing on Nov. 1st.
I fired up the weed whacker and mowed down the flower beds which were full of weeds, grasses and straggly flowers. That event sharpened up the beds and gave them a clean look. I want to add some mulch to them from the pile of mulch from the trees stumps we ground down in June. I still have several golf cart loads left. I fired up the leaf blower and blew the driveway once again of the huge leaf from one tree that has dinner plate size leaves which have turn brown and fall daily. A lot of the leaves in the area have fallen as well and the back road and trails are completely covered with fallen leaves. I think peak color has come and gone for our area as the 5+ inches of rain did a number on their beauty for this year.
Well we stayed up late watching the exciting end to the Ray's third win in a row over the Astros and one more win sends them to the big series against we hope Atlanta. The Braves won their second in a row as well against the Dodgers. Our dear friend Gerald loves the Braves so we are hoping for a Georgia vs Florida World Series, LATER
We finally have a Heavenly Blue Morning Glory showing its beauty on this bright sunshine day. Notice the leaves on the ground from the Maple tree we left standing near the red shed.
