Well its taking some getting use to the heat and humidity once again as I sweated through my shirt a couple of time during the day on Thursday, but it's bearable when I think of the cold at the cabin. I started the day with a 6'ish roll out after going to bed sometime around 9. I slept like a log not even hearing Nancy's snoring for a change. (and did again last night) I did my usual routines of a cup of tea while I post this ramble about the day before activities, spent some quiet moments with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up by name for comfort and healing, all seem well. I grabbed an apple and headed out on my bike for the Rec a little before 8 an already there were several there playing pickle ball.
I played several matches and it was like I never left the court for 5 months. I did get lots of hugs and "great your back". I played with a couple newbies and won with most of them as well. I missed my solo hike and my talk with GOD but decided to have my talk while riding the bike to the Rec. I got in some great cardio and never sat down for more than a minute for nearly two hours play. The body held up good.
I headed to Home Depot for some garden plants and then worked up a small area for seeds and covered it with chicken wire to keep the pesky squirrels from digging. The gardens are covered in grasses but at least they have been weeded down so it much easier digging it out with a shovel. I have tons of garden work to do before setting out a Roma tomato plant, egg plant, collards and a kale plant and some Romaine lettuces. I sowed lots of lettuce seeds, Celebrity tomato seeds, beets, Swiss chard, dill, cilantro, beans and kale seeds. So it will be a week or more before I see any color. I should have the grasses out of the garden by then.
I had primed my pump for the well when getting home and it worked fine and then again on Thursday morning but when I went to use the well after lunch it would not prime. So I spent the next couple hours taking it apart and a couple trips to Ace hardware for a new part and finally got it to prime before supper. I thought I was going to have to dig down to the check valve below the ground surface but it finally took hold and let's hope it holds prime. Nancy made a huge pot of Zuppa soup and a fresh salad and Ross Family came for supper. It was great to see them and I settled up my debt to them for mowing the yards this summer.
Well after a shower and some Lightning time on the TV I hit the sack around 9:30 until nearly 7 this AM. Wow, what a day and its raining some this morning which is bringing in cold front with highs supposedly in the 70's yikes that is great, LATER
