Well Monday was nearly another perfect day with cool temps in the morning and then the 70's the rest of the day. A perfect day for working outside and I did all morning. I took it easy after lunch with some porch setting while finishing up a book on the battle of Gettysburg and then started a new Lee Child book featuring Jack Reacher.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot green tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several for comfort and healing. Nancy is back to her old self bossing me around so I know she feels better and the kids Bobby and Amy and their families are doing great. Now if we could just get rid of the crooks and the corruption in this gov't the nation may survive despite so many bowing down to these mandates by this inept leader who was installed instead of elected. Hopefully GOD will hear at least my prayer that he and this whole administration will be found out to be corrupt and then indict them for treason. Just maybe our nation will begin to heal and honor HIM once again and His precepts that once made US(A) a nation under His influence. I truly believe we must get back to honoring GOD, repent and then our land will be saved and if not the radical muslims will be cutting off our heads.
Well I took off on my solo morning hike to the top of the mountain and it was a glorious hike in the fresh air and coolness of the morning as the sun began to rise up over the mountain top. I vented once again praying that GOD would hear my heart felt thanksgiving for another day and the healing of those I know and love and for our nation. I must say praying out loud does something for your soul especially with nothing around but HIS creation. I stopped off at Steve's on the way down from the top for a short visit. He is doing an amazing job on outfitting his shipping container into an apartment with a bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. He is plumbing, wiring, drywall plus all the tile work. It looks amazing and will be perfect for an overnighter or whatever for a few days for visitors. He really has turned this land into a warm inviting place for family and friends with really no major structure except for the well house.
Well I fired up the golf cart and dug and hauled 6 loads of dirt from the piles of run off top soil into the back yard. I want to level off the steep drop off to the where the old garden used to be. By leveling and grading the sharp drop off I will be able to mow that with the riding mower instead of weed whacking. I'm hoping over this fall and the winter the grasses will come in and hold the bank as I have a good stand of grasses in the area. I piddled around in the garden after lunch, hand watering and pulling some weeds and hoeing the the upper garden. The October beans plants are growing but I'm not sure they will produce this years. The recently sowed lettuce seed are showing some color so I should have some for the salad bowl in a couple weeks. The tomato plants are winding down as they have produced plenty this year and so have the cucumber and squash plants. There are few blooms on each plant but they have quit producing as the sun is not reaching them any longer. This time of the year the sun doesn't reach the upper gardens until the afternoon, oh well they did great this year once again in the circle drive bed.
I tuned into the Ray's in Toronto and they were getting blown out 7-1 when I hit the shower around 9'ish so I decided to read instead. They are still about 8 games ahead in their division but the last two games haven't been their best play, LATER
