Well Thursday saw us with the biggest frost yet this winter here inFlorida. Luckily the huge back yard oak protected the garden from any settling on the garden and killing certain plants that are not freeze or frost loving. All of the roof tops on my way out on the bike around 8 were literally white with ice or frost; same thing.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea while I posted this ramble then spent a few quiet moments with my Creator and Lord in thanksgiving and prayers for several who are hurting. I haven't heard from a couple who were under going drastic surgery for cancer and or from Kathryn if she is coming home this weekend. Everyone else seems fine except for the million now without a job because of this illegal potus who hates the American folks. I have never seen such autocratic decisions to appease a small group of domestic terrorists by this man who was NOT elected legally, oh well. I can vent all I want but nothing is going to change unless there is a revolt through out the country to rid him and his sycophants in the democrat party.
I got in two good hours of constant pickle ball play and left with a wet head and a whupped body. I'm actually looking forward to a weekend off from playing as it been once of those weeks with unbelievable fast and furious play. We had a couple of new players come to the group and they brought fresh legs and good play as well.
I headed home and the temps had warmed up considerably by 10'ish after the chilly ride out to the rec. a little before 8. Nancy wanted a Sam's Club run so we headed out shortly after changing clothes. Gas was up another 30 cents a gallon since this idiot illegal potus decided to stop all energy production. We purchased a few goodies and a couple necessities before heading to Publix which is across the street for items for Bobby's birthday dinner on Saturday at his place. We will bring all the fixin's for his dinner but eat it there because of the schedule the twin boys are on, plus the house is large enough for everyone to have plenty of space especially the kiddos to play.
Well I piddled outside in the gardens hand watering and hoeing the weeds which grown over night. Lots of blooms on the peas, beans, cukes and 'maters. I'll soon have more Bibb to transplant into 6 packs before inserting them into the garden. It's definitely a banner year for growing. We spoke with neighbor Gerald from the cabin and he mentioned he saw no obvious damage from the two earthquakes that happened over night or even felt them. There is plenty of snow on the ground yet and the temps are cold. I wished him well but I'm no longer a fan of cold winter weather.
Well we ate leftover turkey, smashed taters and a salad for our supper. This turkey was the best ever with flavor and staying moist even after being pulled from the bone. I have enough for a couple cold sandwiches which I love instead of deli meats, LATER
