Tuesday Morning Dec 21st

 Well Monday was another hot and muggy day but a front is on the way to bring us some much needed rain and temp change. Let's just hope the severe weather stays away from all of us. Monday found us back to our routines once again after a whirlwind weekend of activities.

I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines that start with the cup of hot tea while I post this ramble and then some quiet moments to give thanks and lift up several by name to my Creator and Lord for comfort and healing. Everyone seems to be as well as can be expected. I got ready and headed out on my bike for a couple hours of pickle ball at the Rec. We had 3 courts in action and the play was exceptionally good. I made a stop off at the library on the way home for a couple new reads.

I worked outside in the gardens hoeing everything a feeding all with a little 10-10-10 as I knew or hoped some rain was on the way. I moved some plants around and transplanted some seedlings as well as added some marigolds around my tomato plants. I noticed I have a Roma 'mater set about the size of a gum drop which thrills me. It's loaded with blooms as well as are the bush green beans. I noticed the radishes are starting to show some red as well and the leafy greens are ready for the salad bowl. The pole beans are nearly to the top of the 6 foot fence hanging on the chicken wire. Should be a banner year for green beans if the weather holds.

After a light lunch I made a Sam's Club run for gas at 3.03 and some products Nancy needed then a stop at Lowes for a couple items before heading home. I read the afternoon away and cat napped occasionally. We were picking up the Botbyl's around 5:15 for a trip to the Nymark's for supper and games along with the owner of the Chick filet in Seminole and his wife who attend BridgePoint. She is from the Charlotte area. We had a grand time playing Oh-ell and dominos until nearly 9'ish then it was back home. Nancy feels like she is coming down with some congestion after being around both Amy and Bobby who were having some sinus issues. We both loaded up on some Clear Guard before heading to bed which is natural supplement for congestion and I took some honey in my tea this morning along with my raw garlic, oh well, Later

Nancy made more cookies to share, oh well
