Thursday Morning Sept 9th

 Well Wednesday had a mixture of weather with the morning being beautiful with plenty of sunshine and blue skies but just after lunch the clouds moved in and the rain began on two separate occasions dropping nearly 3/4 of an inch of rain. It was a gully washer at times. I did set on the porches and read for the afternoon away during the rain.

I started the day with my usual 6ish rollout to my morning routines that start with posting this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several by name for comfort and healing. I'm thankful Nancy is doing so much better at times and then she goes back down with spells that are evident she is still infected with this virus. So far I'm still showing no signs of the infection except a nagging cough at times. I'm still doubling up on my vitamins and supplements and eating healthy with fresh berries and fresh veggies from the garden. I think this has helped the body fight this virus as well.

I fired up the golf cart and headed down to my top soil pile along the road and loaded up three loads and spread them in the backwoods yard through out the morning after my solo hike to the top of the mountain. That kept me busy until lunch time and I worked up a good sweat in the process. The rain was welcomed as its been over a week since we last had any measurable rain and it came just after I had spread the soil in the ruts and low places in the yards.

I did harvest a couple more cucumbers and tomato's which are delicious this year but the plants are on their way out. The recently sowed radish seeds are showing some color and the jalapeno peppers are producing and I'm hoping the lettuce seeds germinate as lettuce likes cool temps once they get established. The October bean plants have added leaves as well and I hope they bloom before it gets too cold which is expected over the week end with lows in the high 40's and highs in the low 70's. It's hard to believe we have only 7 or 8 weeks  before heading south for the winter. I tuned into the Ray's game and they finally lost to the Red Sox 2-1 after leading into the 9th inning, LATER
