Well Thursday started out with temps down into the 40's, yikes that's winter for Florida but it did eventually warm up to the upper 60's by late afternoon and was quite pleasant for our afternoon hike together. Nancy's pre covid strength has returned. That was my second hike of the day as I continue with my early morning solo non stop hike which now includes down by Steve's place and up our steep driveway. I gives me another half mile or so additional cardio.
I started the day much the usual with a 6 ish roll out to my routines and on this morning the cup of hot tea was nice while I posted this blog and then some quiet time giving thanks and lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. I had my morning talk with GOD on my hike and vented as usual with what's happening to our once great GOD and His principles loving nation. Senseless killings in grocery stores and business's as well as violence on the streets has become the norm and it all started with killing in the womb of the unborn. Everything that once was good is now judged to be bad and racist and all that was judged bad is now the norm according to the Marxist's that have taken over the political system in the democrat party. I fear for what my grands are going to face when we continue to stand down and let these radicals have their way. Believers must unite and stop this insidious corruption and crime wave that is destroying our nation from within.
I headed out after breakfast to the down tree that had fallen next to our road. It was barely off the roadway but did present a hazard so I took the ax and clippers and trimmed it back several feet. It was a huge oak that had split into from the base and the wind must have caused it to fall. That kept me busy for an hour or so and the results are if you hadn't know it was down you wouldn't notice it now. I came back and piddled around in the yards and gardens until we had to leave for Sparta around noon for Nancy's hair appointment. It was time for a cut and to hide the gray. I took a book and finished up on a Jack Reacher story while sitting in the sun in the truck. I may have even catnapped for a few as well in the warm sunshine. We didn't need anything from the grocery so we headed home.
We took off around 4'ish for our together hike and completed the whole route for a change. It was beautiful on top and the buildings in Winston-Salem were quite evident for a change. We are noticing more fallen leaves on our hikes and several trees are starting to show some color. Nancy had a pot of Pasta Fouzille soup cooking and it was perfect along with some cornbread for our supper on this chilly evening. Fall is upon us and now Nancy has the faux fireplace on which gives off some heat as well as some fireplace color. I tuned into the Ray's network and they were off for the night after clinching another playoff spot for the third year in a row. I did watch a little of the Panther game but was whupped after the first half and hit the sack after a hot shower. I must say the shower here is the best. I read for awhile before calling it a day, LATER
Pasta Fouzille Soup made with the ham bone we had frozen. DELICIOUS
