Well this year is just about over as the month is coming to a close as well and I hoping this cold snap will soon be gone as well. The heat has been on since Friday and I'm ready for some warmer temps however yesterday we did see the upper 40's with lots of sunshine. There is no doubt this cold snap does not indicate any global warming like the idiots in D.C. proclaim. It's all a ruse to garner those less intelligent to part with their money to fund the big wheels who are tyrannical.
I started the day much the usual to my morning routines of some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my LORD, give thanks and lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected due to ages and health issues. I headed out on my bike on this chilly or rather cold morning to finish up my talk with the Creator and to play pickle ball for two hours plus. We had good players all morning and some old players who usually play outside but decided the rec was warmer for this day. It was a great workout. I came back and had a mid morning breakfast of leftovers from the brunch on Sunday morning. That held me until we had an early supper around 5'ish of leftover soups and muffins. Delicious still. We still have some leftover soup so will finish it tonight or for lunch.
I took all the covers off the veggie plants and all looked good except the two hills of cucumber plants despite them being covered. They do not like cold temps and it was down at the freezing level a couple nights in a row. I'm hoping it stays above those temps the rest of the week. I hand watered the gardens as the wetness seems to help holding in the heat in the ground and helps protect the root systems. The rest of the day was spent on cleaning house and then reading and watching some travel blogs. Our next big gastronomic event will be New Years Day when we have tons of family for the usual sauerkraut and pork entree with smashed taters and black eyed peas.; of course the night before will be some finger foods while we play games with 3 other couples at the Botbyl's to watch the ball drop, LATER
