Tuesday Morning Nov 1

Well Monday was a total work day after getting back from the rec for an hour of pickle ball, a stop at the bank and then a hair cut. It was hot and humid and I sweated hopefully a couple pounds off during the next couple of hours in the garden and yards. My muscles are sore this morning and I had no trouble sleeping last night. 

I started the day with a 6'ish rollout to my usual routines of posting this ramble and then some quiet time to honor my LORD and give thanks as well as mentioned several by name. Most all seem to be doing O.K. as I write. I sure miss my solo hike to the top of the mountain but I'll start my talk on my bike ride to the rec this morning as I drove yesterday and then ran errands.

I hoed and raked grasses and weeds from about half of the one garden and then sowed lots of seeds and covered them with chicken wire to keep the squirrels for digging. It was miserably hot and humid once again in the upper 80's. Nancy was off shopping at 3 grocery stores as she stocked up once again. We live 5 minutes from several stores but she is still in the mode from being in the mountains when we were at least several miles away from any grocery, oh well. It was close to 1 before she got back so I had already eaten a lite lunch of a left over deer burger we brought with us from the last night at the cabin.

Amy and the three grands came by after school and we visited and loved up on them. They are so hungry after school and it brought back memories of Bobby and Amy after school snacking like they were starved. Ava is taller than Nancy now and is playing basketball and we will be excited to watch her play next week, Sam is still in his Jujitsu class and LeLe is still snaggle tooth and so cute. Amy is a great mom and is still teaching 4 yer old's at Keswick and seems to really love her work.

After they left I caught up on the internet as it was just so hot outside until after supper when it cooled down enough to make it comfortable to be outside. I have lots of outside work to keep me busy for the next couple of weeks as the shrubs in front of the house have slowly lost their flavor. I'm waiting for cooler temps before tackling that project. The gardens are some what shaded around mid morning so I can work on one until late in the afternoon and then work on the other, oh well I sure miss those cooler temps, LATER
