Well Monday wasn't quite as hot as usual as there were tons of rain clouds around but no rain. The clouds held the temps down a few degrees as the stiff breeze made it comfortable except for the early afternoon which is usually the hottest part of the day. I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to my routines that always start with some quiet time to honor my LORD after posting this ramble to give thanks and lift several up by name. All are holding as of now.
I headed out on my bike to the Rec for two hours of constant pickle ball play as the group is made up of a couple A players but mostly B and a couple beginners. I stayed on the court playing with all types until I finally lost and decided to head home and piddle around in the gardens and yards. I spread some the weed killer granules in the front yard in hopes that will kill some of those weeds which have just taken over in the grasses which I water daily. Of course they grow with the added moisture along with the new grasses.
Nancy took off oh her hike through the hood so I vacuumed and broke down the living room table and help put the house back in order after Sunday's dinner. I did harvest more tomato's and noticed the one volunteer tomato's plant now is producing some what large green fruit as my original plants are withering and starting die from the heat. They have been a great producer this and still have some green fruit and some blooms. The egg plant now had 6 new fruits set after that cold snap lasted a couple days. They love the heat as do the cucumbers which haven't set any fruit yet but are loaded with blooms.
Nancy boiled up the leftover ham and then made ham salad and she had a huge bowl which we started giving away to Amy, Betsy and Bobby if he gets out this way and for one of our neighbors. It's delicious and so good on a green salad. She saved the broth and the bone to make soup another day. I read the afternoon away until supper time which was leftovers from yesterday and then tuned into the Ray's game which was a close one and the Ray's won by one run in the bottom of the 8th inning with a home run. They are setting all kinds of MLB records with 10 straight wins to start the season, LATER
