Well Tuesday was another hot day especially towards mid day with bright sunshine and tons of humidity while morning was quite pleasant and by late evening it became very nice again. I was drenched with sweat while working in the gardens from 10 until noon then took the afternoon off and read until supper time. The a/c was on all afternoon. Nancy was off to a luncheon with several gals from church so I had the afternoon for a couple hours to myself, reading.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up for healing. All seem as well as can be expected. I headed out for the Rec on my bike for a good hour and half workout on the pickle ball court. The knee is holding up quite well but I'm going to stick to a little less workout until I build it back completely and I'm now wearing my brace during play.
I piddled around in the gardens hoeing and weeding this stubborn grass which is so hard to get rid of but I'm finally starting to see some baby earthworms which is a must for a good garden. They seem to disappear over the summer months but are now becoming evident once again as I water daily. The pump is back to holding its prime which is a plus. The cucumber are sending out runners as well as are the pole beans. The carrots are showing color as well.
I harvested a nice mess of collards for Amy and now today I'm harvesting a mess for us as well for supper. The lettuces, Swiss chard, beet greens as well as kales are almost ready for the salad bowl. I did use kale from the garden in the last pot of Zuppa soup and some romaine for the salad but now I'll have plenty of greens without any from the store. The radishes are doing nicely as well. The Roma tomato plant is in full bloom and hopefully will start setting fruit. Gardening in Florida in the winter is fantastic. After supper I settled into the Lightning game and they came from behind in overtime to beat the LA Kings 3-2. What a game. It wasn't long afterwards I hit the shower and was soon ready for some horizontal lab, LATER
