Well Wednesday was some what cooler with the threat of rain with dark clouds but very little fell maybe enough to settle the dust for an hour despite the radar showing bands of rain coming in off the gulf. The stiff breeze was back and at times severe with strong gusts that broke tree limbs off the big oak.
I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my LORD, to give thanks for another day and to lift several up for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be due to ages and health issues. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for two plus hours of pickle ball and had a good workout. The threat of rain brought several new players who usually play outside to the gym so if you lost it would be several turns before you got back on the court. Luckily I managed to stay on the court with several different partners for over an hour before being paired up with a less that B player and we lost. I needed the break but once again won after setting out several turns until it was time to leave the gym. My game has continued to improve and my stamina is excellent so far.
I came back around 10'ish after a hard ride against the wind to hand water the gardens and the new sod in the front yard. Thus far they haven't died but the garden dries out so quickly with this wind. I'm afraid it will be gone when we get back home on Sunday evening after being away this weekend in Tampa while we are watching the twins, oh well. I'll really give it a good watering Friday after lunch before we leave. I harvested a few small tomato's as they have really slowed down and the two butternut squashes from the side garden. The new egg plants are growing daily and this one plant has and will produce close to 2 dozens fruits when its finished. The cucumbers are loaded with blooms but none have set any fruit yet.
I read the afternoon away and then headed out just before supper to once again water the gardens. The threat of rain was in the air with dark clouds but no rain from them. Nancy broiled a salmon filet and along with a salad and a sweet tater we dined high. After the clean up we both settled into the Ray's game and at times it was a runaway but the other team made in close in the last inning but we won again for 12 straight wins. A team record and one in all of MLB. The Lightning lost again despite being in the playoffs and its not looking great for them to go far, oh well, LATER
