Well we have finally gone a day with out any rain or rain clouds. Today there was plenty of sunshine and a stiff cool breeze enough so we had to don long sleeves shirts and in the shade of the trees it was chilly. It was in the low 50's to start and maybe reached 70 for the high.
I started the day with my usual 6'ish roll out to some quiet moments to honor my Lord after posting this ramble and then I finished up with my solo hike to the top of the mountain voicing my thanks and concerns for this nation out loud among the trees and the animals. What an invigorating time among this creation breathing air never breathed before and lifting up my concerns to GOD alone. I piddled around outside in the gardens after getting back while Nancy did her morning rituals and quiet times. The deer left their tracks in most of the gardens but didn't seem to do much damage. The grass has grown with all this rain so I fired up the weed wacker after a breakfast of oatmeal and cleaned up all the areas around the yards I can't reach with my mower. I'll mow on Thursday afternoon which will give it a nice clean look for sister Dee and Mike this week end. That kept me busy until lunch time.
We decided to do our together hike around 3'ish and after lunch set in the sunny areas of the porches and read for a couple hours. Nancy had a load of laundry on the clothes line which was a perfect day for that venue. I love seeing clothes on the line drying plus it saves a few bucks as well. We walked down to the Nymark's on our afternoon hike to see all they have been doing and wow what a change they have made in the shipping container as they have transformed it into an apartment for when they don't have the motorhome with them. Their place is awesome and has a campground effect. We stayed just a few and then headed up the back road and eventually to the top for an extended hike before heading back down and eventually starting supper. The Nymark's were bringing a scallop tater and ham casserole which was excellent and Nancy did a stir fry of squashes and pea pods to accompany the casserole. After the cleanup we settled into a couple of different card games.
The gals won Euchre again but the guys won two games of Spades and the last one had the gals in the minus column at the end. What a fun evening and it was nearly 9 before they headed out for their place just down the driveway. I'll do a good deed today as I head to Sparta to run some errands and then pick up a new battery for Bertie's golf cart on top of the mountain and install it for her. Nancy has some shopping to do as we get ready for company this weekend plus the Nymark's will be here until Saturday when they head out for Florida. They will be back around the middle of October for a few days when we have all kinds of company during that month. Should be a fun time as we start to close down the cabin for the winter, LATER
