Tuesday Morning Feb 14th

 Well Monday started on the nippy side with a strong breeze that made it feel colder than the upper 50's after this front came through on Sunday. The skies were clear with lots of sunshine and blue skies. I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time with my Lord to give thanks and lift several by name, all are holding as I make this post. I was supposed to play Pickle ball around 11 but got word that was cancelled so I headed out around 8 for the Rec on my bike for two hours of play with mainly B players. I did get a workout I never loss any games but one with a beginner partner, oh well. I'm there for the exercise but do like to play well.

I came back after a stop at the library for a couple new reads and harvested green beans and sugar peas. I also harvested a couple of bags of greens for neighbor Bobby who edges my yard whenever he mow's his yard. I mowed my yard before lunch as the weeds were getting high and then hand watered it all before lunch. Nancy was off on her hike through the 'hood and got back just in time for lunch. We had a garden salad for lunch and I once again had a piece of that decadent birthday cake that Bobby gave us which had been made in Texas and overnighted to him in Brandon. Its the best coconut cake ever and we gave the last of it away to Betsy(Nancy's Sister) last night after sharing some with Amy and Ava and the Botyl's and now Betsy. That cake must have weighted 20 pounds or more and was 7 layers high.

I sat and read the afternoon away and then just before a supper of salmon and Jasmine rice I headed out to hand water the gardens once again. After the cleanup we spoke with our "mountain mom" Helen who will be 95 on the 18th. Betsy came by for the cake and visited then I headed in to the shower and watched some TV in my room until lights out around 10'ish, LATER
