Well Saturday was a work day for me as the weather was perfect through out the day after a chilly start with temps in the 40's. The sunshine and blue skies and a gentle breeze made for a great day to be outside. It did reach the lower 70's with very little humidity. We did do some porch sitting later in the day and read.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet moments with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up b y name for comfort and healing. All seems relatively well except we got word last evening one of our Cornerstone friends is in dire straights with this virus. Our Pastor has cancelled any meeting in person worship again this week so we will meet on Facebook again along with our BridgePoint family. All else seem to be putting their lives back in to order after the passing of our nephew John. We won't be able to attend the memorial service next week in Virginia as Nancy is still under quarantine from her bout with the virus. She seems a little better each day but still has the cough and tires quickly. We took a golf cart ride in the afternoon out to the mail box and then to the top of the mountain. The long distant views were awesome on this clear cool day.
After my quiet times I got in my early morning hike to the top and then down the4 back road past Steve's place where we usually meet for a few but he was already gone to Sparta to Parkers which somewhat like Lowes with building supplies, etc. We stopped by on our golf cart ride and saw where he is doing a magnificent job in thew shipping container turning it into a small apartment. He is doing a first class job and was mudding the drywall when we came by. We feel bad we haven't entertained him more with meals and company except for one time before Nancy was contaminated, oh well. Thus far I've either been lucky or just have a good immune system to this insidious virus. I did have this congestion at times in the chest but I started taking besides tons of vitamins a glove of ra garlic at least once a day and that has nearly cleared up the congestion. I remember that was used back in the days as an antibiotic and onions too have medicinal properties. They are one of my favorite veggies. I grow garlic here at the cabin and have a good supply as I harvested it a couple weeks back.
Well I dug, hauled and then spread three golf cart loads of the top soil that has been piled up by the rain runoff out on our private road. It is awesome dirt with very few rocks and mostly they are gravel when carried down the road by gully washer's. Its there for the taking and I've actually opened up the piles so the rain run off will easily run into the woods. That kept me busy as I spread it mostly in the back woods yards which was bumpy due to those huge trees striking the ground when Jake cut them over the winter. Afterwards giving that a break and there was no chance of rain I folded up the picnic tables and cleaned the deck and gave it a coat of wood preservation with a roller. It dried nicely during the afternoon sun.
We chilled after a lunch of a cold meatloaf sandwich and chips. Delicious with my home grown tomato's. I took a sack of them down for neighbor Gerald and his lady friend Phylis. We haven't interacted with them in weeks except to wave at Gerald when he is out and about. She is very reclusive to us but oh well its not that we haven't tried to be social and now with this virus it makes it even harder to be social. They are taking a three week trip out west next week and then we will have company for the whole month of October; so maybe next year we can once again have a supper with them.
Well after a supper of fresh mushrooms on a frozen pizza with herbs from the garden I settled into the Ray's game and they won 7-2 after dropping the opening game on Friday night against the Tigers in Detroit. I soon hit the shower and read until after 10 a read titled Fallen Angels. It the story of the Gettysburg Battle during the Civil War. Another great read by the author of the Midway Battle during WW11.
Today was the infamous day when muslim terrorists destroyed our way of life 20 years ago which began the decline of America and its still in decline as I write with the embarrassment by this inept administration in Afghanistan to these muslim radicals once again. We are being destroyed within by a corrupt gov't and the lack of patriotism by these on the left who are spewing Marxist ideology and promoted by academia while taking every Judeo Christian principles out of our culture. If I live long enough I will fight to my last breath these radicals but America will become another great civilization that fell like Rome due to their liberal sin and lack of morals filled culture, LATER
