Well the temps here have been perfect for working outside and after pickle ball until 9:30 that's just what I did for the rest of the day, mostly in the garden and yards. I started the day out with a 6'ish roll out to my routines of a cup of tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet moments with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected. I headed out about 7:15 for the Rec on my bike and my morning talk with GOD while riding and for close to two hours of play with several decent players before heading home and then to the barber shop. What a beautiful morning with just enough chill in the air to keep you from sweating.
Nancy was off for her blood draw for her doctors well ness check so I changed clothes and got to work in the garden where the shade was best for digging and raking. I just about cleared all of the grass in both patches but now I have two huge piles of grasses that need mulching with the lawn mower. I'll start on those today after pickle ball. Nancy had a load of laundry and I hung it on the clothesline which will need some repairs in the near future. But that is another chore for another day. The recently transplanted seedlings were looking great but needed watering so I headed down to the Home Depot for some new outside spigots in hope that will help with holding the prime on the pump. Initially it worked but will see if it holds overnight.
I worked outside until 5'ish and actually dropped a couple pounds during the day. I'm in need of dropping another 10 or so until I reach my goal. We just had a baked salmon filet and fresh asparagus with mushrooms for our supper and no carbs which I'm not sure are the culprit for the belly fat. I've decided to forego my daily lunchtime beer until I reach my goal and stick with a glass of red wine before or with supper. I know the beer is part of the reason for the belly fat but I do love it once a day, especially at lunch time, oh well.
After the cleanup I settled into reading until shower time with a true story of the Marines in WW 11 titled WITH THE OLD BREED by Sledge. Tyler gave me this to read the other night as I'm into this genre. I hit the shower around 8'ish and tuned into the football game and then it was lights out for me at half time, LATER
