Well Friday was another beautiful day with Spring like temps in the morning which faded into almost summer like temps by the afternoon. The humidity wasn't bad but we still have the a/c on. There was plenty of sunshine and blue skies and the birds were in full symphony even before total daylight. I love the fresh earth smell on a Spring morning with the heavy dew in the grass and on the veggies.
I started the day out much the usual with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that start with the cup of tea while I post this ramble and spend some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several for comfort and healing as well as my country and that we make it in one piece the next 46 months with this fraud in the white house. The congress is just as anti America as he is with Obama running this administration behind the scene. The division is becoming even greater with this Equality Bill which will decimate christians and the church as we know it now. We even had some supposedly republicans vote with the despicable democrats on this bill. Check it out and what it means. More signs of gov't control much like the Nazi's did and such total disregard of the constitution by using a fancy name to promote racism and hatred.
I got in two solid hours of pickle ball and actually looking forward to giving these muscles a couple days off from the rigorous daily play. I piddled around in the gardens after harvesting greens and cleaning them for the salad bowl that we will take to Bobby's today(Sat) in Brandon for a family lunch after the ball game. It will be a late lunch as well. The Kesky's are coming down for a visit as well and are relocating from N.C. to Sarasota. Wow, never would have thought that possible since Tammy is so involved in local chamber activities.
Neighbor Bobby came over and install swarm box for his bees in our backyard oak tree. Almost immediately honey bees began coming and going into the box. This time of the year they swarm and leave the main hives and he wants to catch them before they leave the area and relocate them back into his yard. Bees are essential for our vegetable growth and pollination and a mainstay. They are very necessary.
Well I read most of the afternoon on another Grisham book and he is just a page turning story teller. Once again this books central theme is about a character who commits suicide in the the first chapter and the story is about what he does with his will and the small town lawyer in Mississippi who is appointed in the will to handle his estate. Another page turner to say the least.
We headed up to the Botbyl's to celebrate an early birthday dinner for Nancy and Carol as they are a year and a day apart. Nancy will be 64 on the third and Carol 65 on the second of March. We were talking and on Nancy's birthday in 1966 I enlisted in the USAF when she was 9 and I was 19. I didn't turn 20 until August of that year. Well a lot of water has flowed under that bridge to say the least. The Tracy's were there as well and Kathryn is talking a little better. Patrick ate with us but soon retired to the bedroom after supper and we never saw him again. They communicate there by cell phone which is weird, oh well, LATER
