Well Saturday was a busy day filled with first some fun on the pickle ball court and then some work in the gardens until lunch time and then up in the attic bringing down the Christmas decorations. I'm not a fan of that chore however I do like the results and especially the meaning of this special holiday.
I started the day with my before 6 rollout to my routines that start with the posting of this ramble and then some quiet time to honor my Lord and give thanks for another day as well as lift several up by name for comfort and healing. I finished up my talk on my bike ride to the Rec at 8. We had mainly all good players for the two hours of play and I got in a great work out and left whupped since I had not played in two days. I could feel the extra calorie filled meals of the past two days around by middle as well. I need to check myself again until the eating starts with the Christmas meals and no desserts until then, oh well.
I had been setting my critter trap since a possum, I think and has been doing some digging but has managed to escape the trap at night, however last night I caught a huge neighbors cat which I'm sure has not been digging in the compose piles of the garden, but there it was. I let it go and it quickly vanish over the fence. The garden is starting to some some green colors with the seedlings adding leaves daily all except the carrots which has yet to show any color. I'll harvest some greens for the salad bowl this week as they start to mature.
I tuned into some college football and there were some big upsets during these final days that changed many standing for the bowl games and rankings. We ate leftovers from the thanksgiving meal and they are actually better leftover the next day. We have enough turkey for a couple sandwiches but thankfully Nancy gave a lot of the pies away to Betsy who worked her day off and came by. That was about it except I did set and read for a couple hours after supper as Nancy let me watch football while we put the tree up and then she had it the rest of the evening, LATER
