Well Monday wasn't quite as hot as usual with a lot of clouds around which looked like rain was going to happen, but no rain. We sure could use some as its very dry. I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my LORD after posting this ramble, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All are holding as I make this post. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball play and then worked outside in the gardens and yards hand watering until lunch time..
After lunch I read until 4'ish then headed out once again to give the gardens a drink as the rain clouds had moved on with out giving us any relief from the drought. We had a fresh egg plant from the garden as they are producing once again. I gave son Bobby two nice ones as well as neighbor Bobby a nice one and there are several more in various sizes maturing. What a year for them as this is the second round of fruits. The plant is huge and I had to tie it to the fence as the weight of the fruit had it bending over. I have more new green tomato's forming as well and the cantaloupes are getting larger daily. The leafy green collards and kale are still holding as are the beet greens but the lettuces are all gone for this season. The volunteer potato's are forming as well and hilling up with lots of little ones. I'll probably dig them this week as the plants are starting to die.
Well we tuned into the Ray's and Lightning games and both are winners once again and the Ray's now have tied the record in baseball with their start wins and the Bolts were up 4-1 when I shut them off, LATER
