Well Friday was another day with mixed temps and weather after a long day and night of constant rain. We had almost 3 inches that left us with wet soggy conditions and I noticed on my early morning hike the run off from the top of the mountain was evident with the fallen leaves being washed away on the trails.
I started the day with a before 7 roll out as it's so dark at 6 and still dark until 7:30. For some reason the internal alarm has been letting me sleep in until close to 7 which especially with tons of company here I don't awaken them. I did my usual routines of posting this ramble and then some quiet time before heading out on my hike and talk with GOD. It wasn't quite as cold this morning and I did see some streaks of sunrise despite the clouds and overcast skies from the past couple of rainy days as I approached the mountain top.
After getting back I had my cup of hot tea with some lemon balm herb while I perused the internet and awaiting for everyone to awaken. Nancy fixed a mountain breakfast of pumpkin pancakes, eggs and sausage with OJ and of course coffee and hot chocolate for Patrick and Kathryn. Howard finally awakened as his body is still on Arizona time which is 3 hours behind us. The meal was awesome and held me completely until the big meal of the day around 4'ish which was totally Mexican with chicken enchiladas, yellow rice, refried beans, guacamole and salsa all of which was very delicious. Kathryn is quite the cook and loves to be in the kitchen. I did the clean up as usual.
The Tracy's and Howard headed off to Galax to visit the Rex theatre and made a dumpster stop on the way as we had 3 huge bags of garbage despite me burning 3 bags the day before at the fire pit. We stayed back and did our devices as I watched some great documentaries on You Tube about the deserts in the world until the world series came on and they got back from their good time at the Rex. They all soon headed off to get ready for some bedtime and I soon followed once the water heated back up. I was ready for some horizontal lab around 10:30. I never heard when Nancy came to bed as she is a night owl with the Botbyl's, LATER
Getting ready for a delicious evening meal.
