Well Tuesday once again was another gorgeous day with cool temps in the 50's to start the day and the upper 70's for the afternoon. I did some yard sitting after lunch, reading and enjoying the warm while sitting in the shade of the big back yard oak. I got lots of gardening in as Nancy was gone until nearly 5'ish with her sister after her doctor's check up.
I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with a cup of tea while I post this ramble and then some quiet moments with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected. I got ready and headed out on my bike to the Rec for 2 plus hours of pickle ball play with some very good players. My game is coming back on line after being some what fuzzy last week due to not playing all summer. The stamina in there as well and I'm down another pound with only about 6-7 to go to reach my goal. I've been eating right and haven't had a beer in about a week or more. I do miss my daily one at lunch but decided to give it up for now. I still have my glass of red wine before or with supper as I'm convinced its good for you.
I hung two loads of clothes while I hand watered the gardens and then moved up 5 celebrity tomato plants into individual pots as well as 3 pots of cucumbers and a couple of 6 packs of lettuce seedlings. I still have cilantro and dill to move up into pots as well. The transplants are doing well and I only lost 1 romaine seedlings after separating a 6 pack of the seedlings into 14 hills. I'm hoping the bunch of potato peelings I buried in the garden will grow as I would like to have some fresh taters.
Well I've started a new Shaara Book titled THE FATEFUL LIGHTNING that starts with the burning of Atlanta with Sherman's devastating march through the south. It's a great read thus far as all of his books are historical. Nancy got good news from her yearly checkup. She and Betsy hit the stores and then she took her out to lunch for her 67th birthday. That was about it as I got the grille cleaned out during the afternoon as it hasn't been used in 5 months and then I grilled marinated chicken breasts covered with fresh rosemary for supper on a bed of salad. Delicious. After the cleanup we settled into some NewsMax until 8'ish and then I read until shower time and finally bedtime at 10, LATER
