Well this month is gone and only one more month to this year, Wow. Time just seems to fly by the older I get. I started Tuesday with a well before 6 roll out to my usual routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my Lord, give thanks and lift several up by name after posting this ramble. All seem as well as can be expected. I finished up my talk with my Creator on my bike ride to the rec a little before 8 where I played pickle ball for a solid two hours. The stamina seems to be returning and the play at times was fast with long rallies. We had mainly good players with 3 courts in action and a couple waiting to get on at times.
After pickle ball I headed home to hand water the garden before heading to Sam's Club to fill up at 2.92 which was 30 cents lower that right across, of course the 12 pumps had at least 3 to 4 cars in line to fill up as well. I picked up a couple items Nancy needed then made a stop at Lowes for some seeds and a couple plants before heading home all before lunch.
We finished up the leftover turkey on a sandwich for lunch and then after digesting for an hour I headed out to work in the gardens tilling and area by hand with a shovel and transplant some red leaf lettuce I picked up at Lowes as well as an egg plant into the garden proper. They were all root bound but should do well once they get into the warm soil. I watered them heavily and fertilized them as well. Most all of the leafy green seedlings are maturing except the beets which is having a hard time for some reason. I transplanted a dozen or so and only about 3 or 4 seems to be maturing, not sure why but we love the greens in our salads plus they are a super food.
I cut up a whole chicken as we use to do back when the kids were small and they were 19 cents a pound whole and grilled them. We love chicken that way and this one must have weighed 6 pounds or so. I grill it slow for an hour with some rosemary from the garden and its delicious. I personally love the backs and the bony parts and you can only get them when cutting up a whole chicken. I've butchered many whole ones over the years. Back when, I use to even cut their heads off and pluck the feathers before butchering them. I wonder how many folks have ever done that, oh well.
I read after supper instead of watching the depressing news which I get during the day from the internet. The USA beat Iran in soccer and the Lightning were down a goal when I shut the lights off at 10, LATER
