Wednesday Morning February 1st

 Well time is just flying by as January is gone and we are one month closer to getting back to the mountains; however its not the best time of the year there with cold and dampness prevalent. It's starting to really warm up here almost daily as it was close to 80 yesterday with tons of sunshine and blue skies with a few lowly hanging clouds at times to keep it bearable to be outside.

I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet moments after posting this ramble to honor my Lord, to give thanks and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected. I finished up my morning talk with the Creator on my bike ride to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball play which left me whupped. I headed home to work in the gardens hoeing everything and once again giving the gardens and front yard a drink. I'm finally seeing some new grasses in the bare spots in the front yard from the couple of weekly hand waterings. The garden is holding and I have new lettuce seedlings showing good colors. Lots of blooms on the beans, peas, egg plant, pepper and tomato's. So far its looking like there will be plenty to share.

After a lunch of leftover Zuppa I headed in to read and watch some documentaries on the internet until it was time to give the garden s another drink. We were eating a lite supper of baked salmon and asparagus around 4:30 as we were heading out to Keswick School for Ava's game and the first game of the playoffs in her division. She played great and the team will meet I.R.C.S. in the finals on Friday. The coach for that team is and was a teacher for both Bobby and Amy while in school there. He remembered us and we had a nice chat with him after their game. Ava played great, scoring several points but her big strength is rebounding and defense and such hustle up and down the court. They won by 30 points and will face I.R.C.S. who won the first game is a close contest.

It was close to 9 before we got back to the house and then a hot shower before some TV and then lights out at 10'ish, LATER
