Well Monday was a bit nippy to start the day but by late afternoon Nancy had the a/c back on for the evening and night. There was tons of sunshine and blue skies and the sun was really hot as I sat outside in the back yard after lunch to read. I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble and finished up on my bike ride to the Rec for two hours of non stop pickle ball play. We had some good new players as well joining us over this holiday week who were in town. I was whupped when I left at 10 and headed home on my bike.
I piddled around in the garden until lunch time as Nancy was gone getting the grey out of her hair at Mary's who is her old hair dresser friend. Amy, Ava and Eliza were coming for lunch and then Nancy was taking them Christmas shopping which has become an annual thing while the girls are off for the holiday break. They were gone all afternoon and got back around 5'ish.
I transplanted three of the pink tomato seedlings into the garden proper and put cages for them to climb on hoping they will make it. I have what I think is a rat chewing on my seedlings but the more I think about it I think a rabbit is getting under the back fence and doing the damage to several of my plants. Rats are not known for eating green plants but fruit rats will eat fruit so I first thought it was a rat but now I'm convinced it is a rabbit, oh well.
I read most of the afternoon away until supper time when we ate some frozen meatballs with pasta and canned peas. I got on the scales and I'm now down 9 pounds from when we got back from N.C. I think the portion control and exercise is helping with no beer and a small amount of carbs is the key at this point. I still have a ways to go to reach my goal but I have a good start thus far. I tuned into the Lightning game and they got whupped from a good Boston team 5-3 after getting the first goal against them. Our defense is just not as great this year with several new players, oh well. LATER
