Well Monday turned almost summer like with temps in the 80's with the sun bright and hot. Thankfully there was a slight breeze that kept it bearable to be outside in the afternoon. I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my morning routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my Lord, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All seem to be holding as I make this post. I finished up my morning talk with the Creator on the bike ride to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball.
I piddled around in the gardens and yards after getting back from the Rec harvesting my first mess of 1/2 runner green beans and another bunch of leafy greens for the salad bowl. I cleaned and then got them ready for the salad bowl which I had some for my lunch. Every morning I come out to check to see if the rat poison is gone and it is and last night I saw what has been eating it; a huge possum was in the back yard and had just finished one of the two trays of poison. I'm surprised it didn't make him sick. I've been noticing some extra poop in the yard which is between a small dog and a cat and its been his, oh well. I'll set the trap again tonight in hopes I catch him and take him away to the park and let it loose.
The garden is doing well and I have new lettuce seedlings popping through the ground in hopes they will make but with this new heat I'm not too sure. I'm hoping it will cool back down into the upper 60's and 70's as I'm not ready for this heat and humidity. It does cool back some over night but yesterday it was blazing. We took a shopping trip to Sam's Club and then to Aldi's where we stocked up once again for the week. We met up with some friends for supper at Miller's Ale House for ribs which is a special on Mondays. A whole rack for 15 bucks which is rare so we both ate out for about 10 bucks as we shared the rack and ordered and extra side dish. Its usually about 20 bucks a person when we eat out with tax and tip but last night was a deal. The place was doing the business with the tons of old folks like us.
We met over at the house of one of the couples after eating who we had visited with before Christmas and played Chameleon which was a lot of fun until close to 9:30. There was 4 couples so we all had a grand time and promised to do it again next month. After a hot shower I was ready for some horizontal lab, LATER
