Well the heat and humidity showed itself once again which is customary for Florida this time of the year and then right up until the end of September. The mountains are also getting some heat as the temps were well into the upper 70's. I'll take the highs in the mountains which were the lows for the start of today. I started the day with a well before 6 roll out to my morning routines that start with some quiet time to honor my Lord, give thanks for another day and lift up several by name. All seem well as I make this post.
I headed out on my bike to the Rec around 8 for a good hour plus work out then headed home to mow the yards and piddle around in the gardens until lunch time. The couple of rain showers have really started the grass growing season and it's starting to green up. Nancy was off on her bike ride which is much easier on her but is giving her some exercise which she needs to help get by in shape to hike the mountain in about 3 weeks. We are getting so excited to see the cabin and the remodeling our friend Jake has done to the kitchen and then our new handmade table as well.
I read the afternoon away as I started a new Flynn book titled CONSENT TO KILL. It's definitely a page turner and when you read the books in order it's telling a story or a biography of the main character called Mitch Rapp. There is a lot of modern political history only the names are different.
I headed out around 5 'ish to grill a couple marinated chicken breast and Nancy was boiling some home grown taters from garden that I had started from potato peeling. All you need is a peeling with an eye or a bud and it will grow. We had taters' from the garden along with a green onion and a jalapeno pepper from the garden to top them off. Delicious.
After the cleanup we settled into the Fox News channel and then the Lightning game vs the Maple Leafs came on and it was a repeat of the first game with them beating us only it was a close game until the end when we pulled our goalie. It's the best of 7 games and we are down 2-1.The Ray's won the night before in Seattle after a 9'ish start. I'll check the scores later but hope they pulled off another win. It looked rather cold there as everyone was with coats on, LATER
