Well Tuesday was nearly another perfect day weather wise with tons of sunshine, blue skies and warm temps after a cool start of the day. This is why we come to the mountains 5 months out of the year. I started the day with a 6'ish rollout to my usual routines that start with some quiet time giving thanks for another day and lifting several up for comfort and healing by name. All seem as well as possible considering ages and health issues. After posting this ramble I headed out just after day break to continue my morning talk with the Almighty on my solo hike to the top of the mountain.
I piddle around outside after getting back from my hike to check on the gardens and flower beds; still no morning glory blooms. The vines are the best ever this year and I was hoping to see those beautiful Heavenly Blue flowers while Dee and Mike were here over the weekend. What a beautiful weekend we had with them and all of the laughter that goes when they visit.
I decided to cut back the lilacs when had gotten out of hand from 8 feet down to 4 feet or so. What a difference that made as we look off the back porch. I decided after a lite breakfast to not only cut back the lilacs but to redo the fence around the black raspberry patch which kept me busy up until we decided to hike the mountain together. What a beautiful day for a hike and it was really hazy off the mountain. We got back and settled into a chicken salad for lunch with roasted pecans, fresh grapes, onions and celery with home grown tomato's on the side. It was so delicious as we sat outside on the front porch in the slight breeze.
After lunch I loaded up some tools and headed up to the back road and redid the hand rain from our steep backwoods trail onto the back road. The hand rail had rotted on the end so I redrilled the rail and refastened it to a maple tree which helps getting up the steep embankment. I decided to read for the next couple of hours and cat napped at times as I digested. We decided to use up some canned refried beans for burritos for supper which we both love; of course they were doctored up with sweet onions, jalapeno's on mine with sour cream and salsa. Delicious to say the least. We piddled around in the yards after the cleanup and then had a campfire for only the second time this supper. The air was perfect and the heat actually felt good as the evening temps dropped. After the campfire which lasted to dark we headed in and I tuned into the Ray's game and the Astros were winning again for the second night in a row, LATER
