Well Tuesday was a bit nippy to start the day but by mid morning it was short sleeve temps once again which is typical for Florida winter temps. I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my Lord, give thanks and lift up several by name for comfort and healing after posting this ramble. All seem to be holding although one is slowly dying of thirst and hunger; the rest is doing as well as can be expected. I finished up my morning talk with the Creator on my bike ride to the Rec for 2 plus hours of pickle ball play with some great players. I think all of us could be graded at close to a 5 which is the top grade for players. I love this game and hope and pray I can continue for years to come and play at this level.
I came back and worked outside in the gardens and then harvested my first really good batch of lettuces, kales and collards for the salad bowl. I rinsed and then spun them dry and added them to the salad bowl. I've harvested small amounts for the past couple of weeks but this is the first real harvest. I also harvested some for the Botbyl's as well as neighbors as it seems they are coming mature quickly. I transplanted some onion seedlings into the garden proper as well and noticed I have 1/2 runner beans on the vine as well.
We had a salad for lunch and then I grilled marinated chicken breasts for supper loaded with fresh rosemary from the garden. I'm still waiting on the tomato's to show but none thus far, but do have tons of blooms. I hand watered the gardens and then headed out to hand water the front yard until lunch time. After lunch it was watch You Tubers around the world and then a great speaker on the demise of churches in America much like the churches and christians that happened with Germany when Hitler took over; Eric Metaxas letter to the churches in America will startle you when you see the comparisons.
After the clean up from supper I headed into read some Brad Thor and then hit the showers around 7'ish and settled into the Lightning game over the Columbus hockey team 6-3 in Tampa, LATER
