Well Monday was another near perfect day with absolutely beautiful temps that stayed down into the low 70's with plenty of bright sunshine and blue skies. Gorgeous is the best way to describe this day. I got my well pump primed again so I could hand water the gardens and yards which was a blessing. Seems the new outside spigots had a block in them and would not let any water pass through them into the pump, dumbest thing I've ever seen and why would there be a block inside the spigot, oh well.
I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet moments with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several by name. All seem as well as can be expected due to their circumstances. I did speak briefly with Paw Paw in West Virginia and with sister Pat his care taker. He sounded good but can not hear so the conversation is very limited. She is still coping with the death of her first born son, John and I can not imagine how that must play on your mind. It's a day to day cope.
I headed out around 7:30 on my bike for the 5 minute ride to the Rec and had my morning talk with GOD once again much like the mountain hike talk but only shorter. I got in nearly two solid non stop hours of pickle ball play. I'm slowly getting my stamina back on the court and my play is getting better daily and I'm losing a few ounces a week. Its much easier adding pounds than taking ounces off but I'm down about 3 pounds thus far. The two big dinners over the weekend were not helpful but the food was so good and the cheesecake was the best ever.
I worked on my pump for the well and got it going after checking the spigots only to find they were blocked inside, what is that all about, oh well. The seeds are showing some good color and I'll soon be transplanting them into 6 packs and eventually into the garden. I sowed some pole bean seeds I had saved from my fall garden and the recently transplanted collard, kale and lettuce seedlings are doing good and adding leaves.
We took off for Sam's Club after lunch for gas, salt for the softener, paper products and some chops. Gas was 3.03 which is about 12 cents cheaper than last week. We made a stop at Walgreens for some scripts for Nancy then headed home among a parking lot of cars on the road. It seems every snow bird is back and the roads are congested once again. I finished the Shepard's pie for lunch so we just had a fried sweet tater which was delicious with cinnamon and honey and fresh green beans for our supper. After the clean up we settled into the Newsmax News channel until it was shower time and some football. I watched until half time then it was lights out for me, LATER
