Friday Morning Sept 16th

 Well Thursday was another near perfect day weather wise here at the cabin with a low of 49 and a high somewhere in the low 70's with tons of sunshine and blue skies with a slight breeze. Just beautiful not to brag much like a November day in Florida when its freezing here in N.C. I started the day with a 6'ish roll out to my routines that start with some quiet moments with my Lord after posting this ramble and then I finish up with my solo hike to the top of mountain voicing my praises and concerns out loud on my hike.

I piddled around in the gardens after getting back and then had a lite breakfast before starting some piddly chores and jobs most of which was outside in the yards and gardens. I hung a load of sheets outside on the clothesline and then harvested and cleaned some greens for the salad bowl; beet greens, Swiss chard, kale and collard greens all from the upper garden which was crisp from the cool morning dew and temps. Around mid morning we took off on a hike to the top of the mountain together and saw no one on top but several on their golf cart coming up the back road. We got word from Grant and Shirley that his bladder cancer has shown its ugly presence again We will definitely keep him and her in our thoughts and prayers for healing and comfort. Seems his doctor failed to check his results for 5 months when it should have been every 3 months and the cancer returned and may have spread.

I mowed the afternoon away after we visited with Sheri and Steve at their place and they were working outside spreading the load of rocks as well and trying to straighten out their artificial grass which comes in rolls that weigh tons. They want to cover the areas they will walk along their campers and shipping containers he has turned into an apartment. We had them up for supper around 5'ish and then played cards again. This night belonged totally to the guys as we finally whupped them in Euchre and Spades. They headed out around 9:30 for their place and I hit the shower and read a little until lights out around 10:30, LATER
