Well Saturday was a funday that started around some 2 hours of pickle ball at the Rec and then a family supper with everyone here but Katie who was away in D.C. with her company. I did get in some garden work after getting back from the Rec and the weather was a bit on the warm side but tolerable. The humidity is always present and of course makes you wet with sweat anytime your outside working.
I started the day with a 6'ish rollout to my usual routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble and I finished on my bike ride to the Rec. It's not a mountain top talk with only God made surroundings, but I manage among the noise for the road traffic as I must keep my hands on the bike instead of raising them in praising HIM. I had a good workout with constant play for over 2 hours as I had missed two days in a row from playing. My game was on as we had a couple of good players. There were several new players and a couple were fun to play with and against.
I noticed on my way as I passed by the library building that at least 5 people were sleeping under the over hang out of the dew. I use to see one occasionally but now there were 5 that was visible from the driveway. What is happening to our country with these corrupt folks in charge in this administration. The high cost of inflation is sending folks out on the streets to live and many are veterans. I was hoping patriots would wake up and send all of them packing but at least Florida did her share as not electing any democrats who vote with this inept corrupt unelected potus Biden. The nation is in turmoil and our enemies are in the gov't.
I sowed two rows of carrots on the side garden and about 30 hills of half runner beans along the back fence. I will have the fence which is about 6 feet tall for them to grow on. Some critter ate the 6 pink tomato plants off that I had growing under chicken wire, but I had several more seedlings and used them to stock one 6 pack. This time I'm keeping them up and away from the soil until they get larger. The radishes are up despite the washing out rain of a couple days ago, so I sowed more seeds as well as more cucumber and Swiss chard seeds. The collards with stood the rain and strong wind and are doing good. I gave every thing a taste of 10-10-10 as the rain washed away a lot of the compost. The pole beans are up and these are from seeds I saved from last years planting. I sowed more lettuce seeds and kale as well, so if all make I will have plenty of greens for salads plus tomato's and green beans.
Well the grands were all here and the older kids loved playing with Ryder and Huck as they had the house in an uproar for a couple hours. The Shepards Pie was a hit and Nancy had two large casserole dishes filled. I never thought we would eat it down but there was enough leftover for one small helping. I stayed true to my effort of eating small with just salad and one small helping and none of the ice cream and cake that followed. I'm down 7 pounds from when we got home two weeks ago. November is supposed to be our dry month but with the hurricane and now its raining this morning as I make this post which is good for the yards and gardens.
We watched some football while the gang was here and then after they left I headed for the shower. Now that I have Prime on the bedroom TV I watched a little of Reacher a show Lee Child the author is responsible for in his books. I'm reading UNBROKEN again and its awesome as I had forgotten the first part of Louie's time in a B-24 as a bombardier. Well, a little after 10 I shut the TV and lights out for some horizontal lab. Today is corporate worship day as we head for our new church home on Starkey Road. One of the pastor's came by yesterday to thank us and bring a small gift bag. That is something our mountain church Cornerstone never does nor did Bridgepoint when new folks come for a visit or when they quit coming. Our old church SFBC did all of those and I think it makes folks feel wanted, oh well, LATER
