Well Saturday was another beautiful day with great working temps after a chilly start that found us with temps in the low 50's. There was plenty of blue skies and bright sunshine and after a couple hours at the Rec on the pickle ball court I spent the biggest part of the day outside working in the yards and gardens.
I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to my cup of tea on this cool morning while I posted 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 except for Bobby and Gabe who developed Ryders stomach bug of vomiting. We were supposed to visit them after church today but decided it was best to stay away for another week. Ryder recovered quickly but for several hours could keep nothing down and Bobby thought is was something he ate; but now both he and Gabe started vomiting later on Saturday afternoon, oh well.
I had a good workout at the Rec then headed home on my bike to hand water the gardens and then since the moon was half dark decided to sow some veggie that grow under ground like carrots and radishes. They seem to do best when sowed in the dark of the moon and veggie that produce on top of the ground like tomato's, peas and beans, etc grow best when sowed in a full moon or light of the moon. I know from experience. I transplanted more beet seedlings as well and the last of the Swiss chard and then I moved the tomato seedlings into the ground. I will eventually dig them up and move them when they get about a foot in height into their final places in the garden but for now I wanted to get them in the ground and out of their pots which I think they will do better. I also transplanted two pots of cucumbers into their final spot in the garden.
I love my garden as there is always something to hoe, weeds to pull or just hand watering. Thankfully my well is doing good after many days of frustrating due to lack of use while we are gone in the summer. It primes easily now and produces a great flow of sweet water. I wouldn't drink it until boiling as its a shallow well but there are no smells which is unusual for a shallow well as the sulfur smell is common here.
I did watch a little college football during the late afternoon and evening before a supper of grilled rib eyes and fried sweet taters, delicious after eating fowl (turkey) for the past couple of days. Thankfully it's all gone. Today we will attend the early service at BridgePoint then do some shopping before meeting the Botbyl's for lunch at Willie Jewels which is a local barbecue house and then some Bucs football, LATER
