Tuesday Morning Nov 29th

 Well Monday was another warm and muggy day since we had rain over night. The temps stayed in the upper 70's and while the morning was quite pleasant the afternoon was hot with tons of sunshine and blue skies. We even dried two loads of laundry outside on the clothes line.

 I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet moments with my Lord giving thanks and lifting several up by name after posting this ramble. All are holding as of now. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball. We had mostly good players which makes for great fun and exercise. I did add a couple pounds over the holiday but now I'm determined with diet and exercise to reach my goal before the eating starts with Christmas.

I worked in the gardens after PB until lunch time and harvested my first mess of salad greens; romaine, kale and collards. I rinsed them and then spun them dry for the salad bowl and even added some to my turkey sandwich for lunch, delicious. I'm thrilled the beans are adding leaves and starting to climb the chicken wire on the wooden fence. Everything seems to be doing well except the carrots never germinated, oh well. I now have dill and cilantro seedlings showing some color as well. I'm still growing great weeds and grasses in the garden so I know it fertile as I pull and hoe them every day, oh well. I did notice a few fishing worms which is also a good sign there is compose for them thus they make the best plant food ever with their casings(poop) . 

I read the afternoon a way after starting a new Jack Carr book. This is the third book in a 6 book series and thus a page turner. I read until supper time which we ate around 5'ish as we headed out a little before 6 to Keswick to watch the JV and then varsity girls basketball teams win big over another local team from upper Pinellas. The JV won by 30 points and the varsity by 40. Ava played great with scoring 6 points, great assists and many rebounds. The whole team played great together. We sat with our older couple who attends all of the games and the girls team bought them great seats for the bleachers with backs as they attend every game, even away games. We also learned we attend the same church together. I think they are in their 80's but seem well at this point, LATER
