Well this is the last Sunday in September so that means just 4 more to go before we leave for Florida. This summer has just flown by and so has the hot weather. We had another cool morning but not cold like the last couple of ones. It was cloudy and a few sprinkles happened a couple times during the day but it cleared out in the late afternoon enough that we got in a long hike through the woods. We skipped the usual hike to the top and wondered around a couple old logging roads on the way to the top. The building were not visible to day as haze had them covered.
I started the day with a little later rollout and once again saw the mother deer and her twins in the back yards. The twins are nearly as large as the mother and they just grazed the clover while I watched them during the posting of this ramble. It started to rain lightly then they headed off into the woods. I did get in my solo morning hike as the rain lasted just a few minutes before quitting so after posting this blog and a some quiet moments I headed out on my hike. The sun was trying to break through as I climbed the back trail and it wasn't as cold as the day before. I didn't do much outside until later in the morning as it drizzled again for just a few minutes.
After breakfast of eggs, bacon and French toast I vacuumed the whole house then used a floor cleaner and wax on the main floor which kept me busy for a couple hours as Nancy worked upstairs getting it ready for our next house guest visit next month. We have old family friends visiting on Monday for just the day as they live near Hickory. I settled into some college football for the next couple of hours after a lite lunch of cheese and crackers until it was time for our extended afternoon hike which lasted an hour or more. The weather was nice with temps in the low 60's and some sunshine at times.
Nancy put a couple pork chops in the oven and along with some Jasmine rice and sliced beet we ate hearty for supper. After the cleanup we walked around the yards for a couple as darkness began to fall so I settled into the Ray's game and she on her I pad. The Ray's loss to the Blue Jays after winning the first two games in this series and are now 1 game behind them for the playoff wild card slot. Today is church day and then lunch out with friends, LATER
