Well Thursday was another hot day with high humidity. What happened to that week of cool morning and beautiful temps where we had the windows and doors open. The a/c hasn't stopped for over a week now. I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines that start with the cup of tea while I post this ramble and then some quiet time giving thanks and lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected due to health issues and ages.
I headed out around 7:30 for the Rec and got in two solid hours of pickle ball play with all advanced players. What a workout and I managed to stay on the courts with mostly wins and left with a wet shirt a little before 10. I stopped off at the library to pick up a couple of reads I had ordered then headed home on my bike. The temps were starting to warm up with the bright sunshine as the humidity was making itself present.
I did some hoeing and weed pulling before hand watering the gardens. The pole beans climbed another 6 inches over night onto the top wire I had attached to the fence and the cucumbers had send out runners for climbing as well. I'll train both of these to climb the high fence I had chicken wire attached to. Everything looked good and I sowed more Bibb lettuce seeds as I will soon have room from where the romaine lettuce is fading out. The beans will be blooming in another couple of days as will the cucumbers.
I read the afternoon away after a deer burger for lunch. Nancy was out shopping again for the kiddos and the spare bedroom is loaded with presents for the family. She has gone out of her way this year for some reason. She picked up a hundred dollar standing rib roast for Christmas dinner with Amy's family and Betsy family. Today Friday we travel with some of our life group out to dinner and then to an outdoor Christmas concert at Al Lang Field in St.Pete. Tomorrow morning we head to Busch Gardens early and then to Bobby's for the Twins second birthday celebration. Should be a fun time with family, LATER
