Well Wednesday was a bit on the chilly side with temps finally down into the upper 50's to start the day. Oh so nice from the hot humid morning of past. There was a stiff a breeze which made it feel even cooler but there was plenty of sunshine to lessen the chill. Later in the evening in Brandon if got down right cold with the stiff breeze causing the 60's to feel in the 50's during Gabe baseball game. By the way they won the championship 16-14 in a nail biter at the end.
I started the day with my 6'ish rollout to a cup of hot green tea while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator and Lord in worship, thanksgiving and lifting up several by name for healing and comfort as well as our nation and our Potus Trump and those who are still patriots. It seems we have less of those than once noted with the emergence of the radical leftest within the democrat party who are determined to change our culture and destroy our heritage based on Christian principles found in the Bible. Not only have they abandoned our principles but now some of our political leaders are in collusion with those foreign leaders who want to destroy the nation and set us back to becoming a third world country as they try to steal this election away from the populace. Unbelievable.
I headed out on my bike for the Rec. and got in almost two full hours of pickle ball with some good players. I left with a worn out body and wet shirt to say the least but I can feel my stamina returning with the daily play. I came home and worked in the garden until lunch time. The cool breeze made for good outside working conditions. I spaded up about another 1/4 of the garden and removed this grass which is insidious to say the least. It sends out runners deep within the soil and it also has a nut/seeds which spreads constantly. So aggravating. Next year I'm laying a black visqueen covering over the garden to keep it from multiplying which should help.
I did so a row of radish seeds and moved some volunteer tomato seedlings into a 6 pack container. Hopefully these will make. I also ordered a bunch of seeds on line from Burpee as Home Depot has sent their seeds back for the year, oh well. We had a lunch of salad and then I chilled until it was time to leave for Brandon. The traffic here is unreal with all of the roads congested and the drivers are very rude and wild. Its no wonder I was always busy here with violaters and daily traffic crashes especially as the snow birds head south. It seems everyone is in a hurry to speed up to the next signal, oh well.
Bobby picked up some fried chicken from Publix for our supper and it was delicious to say the least as I grew up on the stuff and we seldom eat it anymore, that along with a kale salad made for some fine eatin'. We got in a couple hours of twin time with boys. They were so happy to see us as were we them. We fed them supper and they can now really put away the chow. They are walking around holding on and Ryder is standing alone more than Huck. They both play well together and just love Annsley and Gabe. We headed out to the ball park as it got dark and the temps dropped. Tyler brought Sam over to watch the game as well. We were ahead all of the game but the other team made a great effort to win in the last inning with bases loaded. Gabe struck out 2 players and they had the go ahead runners on base when the batter hit a soft ball in front of the plate and there was a force out at home, LATER
