Well on Friday we found another change in the weather with an over night rain and a northern breeze which by night fall dropped the temps into the 40's once again, but that is a heat wave compared to what is now occurring at the cabin. Snow is on the scene with very cold temps. Some folks have 6-8 inches of the frozen white stuff but the whole area is well below freezing. I did learn one thing with age; I'm no longer a fan of these kinds of extremes in cold temps and weather.
I started the day out much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot tea while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet moments with my Creator and Lord in thanksgiving and lifting several up by name. Many of our closet friends have acquired the virus and one is hospitalized in serious condition and the others are at home. Nancy and I have been careful despite being out in public at Ava's basketball games and dining out with family. We do wear the mask at large gatherings which is I suppose is best to do. I do hate the herd mentality, but better safe than sorry.
I got in two hours of pickle ball at the Rec. they do take your temps when arriving to play but so far no one that we know has contracted the virus. It seems only the most healthy and strong players attend the games which is a good thing. We did have two older players yesterday who are active but would be in a class that makes them vulnerable to the virus, oh well.
I worked in the garden, hand watering and hoeing weeds which seem to just spring up over night. I harvested my first mess of collards for my neighbor Bobby the fireman and he was thrilled. He edges my front yard and looks out for our house when we are gone during the summer. Just a great neighbor and a servant to the public as a firemen.
We headed out to Ava's game and made a stop for gas at Sam's Club and for a few goodies as well. The game was at St.Pete Catholic. It was another hard fought game and Ava played magnificently in every area of the game. She is a hustler as she runs up and down the court and is a very good team player. They won after losing two in a row and now they have a record of 10-2. We stayed and watched the varsity girls play and they lost by 1 point in a very controversial call on a 3 point shot that would have tied the game. It definitely was a home court call by the refs as they mingled throughout the game with their fans, oh well.
We met up with Amy's family at Tijuana Flats a semi fast food place in St.Pete for Tex-Mex. It was decent eating and the kiddos seemed to love the place. The temps were falling fast as most of us dressed for the usual warm evening attire in shorts. It wasn't long after getting home and a hot shower I tuned into Newsmax and then the Hannity and Laura Shows on Fox before heading to the horizontal lab class, LATER
