Well Thursday was a perfect day weather wise with cool 50's to start the day with tons of sunshine and blue skies and highs in the 70's, yeow a nice gentle cool breeze kept it perfect with little or no humidity. It was a work day for me except for late afternoon when we cleaned up and headed to Sparta to run some errands and then out to the Tracy's for supper and games. I started the day with my 6'ish rollout to some quiet time after posting this ramble then off on my solo hike to finish up my conversation with GOD on the trail. Wow was it ever a chilly hike but of course hiking up the steep back woods trail warms you completely. I saw no critters this morning for a change.
After a mountain breakfast of eggs, a leftover Italian sausage, a tomato and jalapeno for me with a piece black raspberry jam toast and juice I headed out to work in the yards and gardens and eventually fired up the weed whacker and did all the yards. That in itself took over an hour or so and a whole tank of gas. I'll mow after lunch today since it takes that long for the grass to dry. The morning dew has been heavy which makes up for some of the lack of a shower. The grasses this year have really benefitted from all the rain and we could use a shower which I think is forecasted for Sunday. I worked in the garlic bed and sowed many bulbs and noticed three volunteers I missed when harvesting my crop. They had 3 to 4 inches in height already. They will grow all winter and hopefully give me a crop sometime in July that I will take back with me and use now when needed. After a stop at our mountain moms to bring her some goodies and then post office and finally the library we got to the Tracy 4'ish.
Kathryn had beef enchiladas, yellow rice and refried beans and of course some finger foods before setting down to her Mexican theme dishes, delicious. We always enjoy her cooking and eating from her kitchen. We sat outside their cabin on the porch and ate watching the farmers on the next hill raking and baling hay. We played Skipbo and then Euchre. Kathryn was the winner in Skipbo and boys whupped the girls in Euchre. We left around 6:30 and took some back roads home instead of our usual fast route which usually takes a good 30 minutes as they rent a place on the other side of Sparta. This will be their last rental with these folks as the lady who handles rentals seems to be bi-polar and has been very rude to them after being close friends for several rental years. Oh well. Hopefully next year they can find something a little closer to the parkway and us, LATER
