Wednesday Morning Feb 17th

Well Tuesday seemed like Monday which is always the case when Monday is a holiday so this will be a short week. Isn't it funny how your mind works. I headed out to the Rec for 2 1/2 hours of pickle ball play since the gym was free and clear after the usual 10 shut down for an exercise class. We had some great play through out the morning except for one player who is better than the usual couple of old players but she still has a ways to go, anyhow she is game. 

I did my usual morning routines that start with the green tea while I posted this ramble then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several by name. Kathryn our dear friend is back in the hospital due to her lungs not responding after this virus struck. It seems now she is having panic attacks after getting to her doctor's office for a check up. I spoke with Paw Paw and he sounded fine despite his advanced age. He has had both of the vaccines for the virus and had no ill effects. Our "mountain mom" Helen has also had both shots and I don't not blame them due to their advanced ages. I think I'll reserve taking any shots until a much later date as so far I've been able to ward off any of the virus despite being in the public.

I transplanted more Bibb lettuce seedlings into a 9 pack and then set a dozen or so into the garden that had been transplanted a week or so into 6 packs. The temps dropped from the hot and muggy to the moderate and breezy with a beautiful afternoon. We had the windows and doors open for most of the afternoon. I did find some small green tomato's on a couple of the plants as well as a few nubbins on the cucumber vines. I harvested a huge ness of lettuces, kales and some sugar peas for the neighbor next door. She now wants to put in some raised beds next year in her back yard as she loves my gardens.

We had some leftover fried sweet taters and barbecue ribs for supper. Next time I'll only do two racks instead of three as we gave one rack to Tyler and we still have enough for another supper, oh well. We will attend a prayer meeting at the new church building this evening after meeting the Nymark's for supper at Applebees. We try a different eatery each week, LATER
