Well Wednesday was mostly wet, foggy and overcast but no measurable rain for a day which was great for a change as we were becoming mildewed. We actually saw the sun for a few minutes at different times. The hurricane that slide along the west coast of Florida caused little damage to our home but when it crossed the big bend area I'm sure there was destruction. That area is not densely populated. It turned out to be a major storm but thankfully it moved quickly along its path which seem to change from time to time.
I started the day much the usual with a 6 ish rollout to my routines that start with some quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. We found out a former church member and associate we have known for many years passed away at the young age of 50 yesterday. Everyone in our small group knew him and his family very well. All of us were shocked with this news. Everyone else on my list are doing as well as can be expected.
I finished the book on Andrew Jackson life and who saved New Orleans from being taken over by the British in the War of 1812. What a great read about a real patriot who spent the best part of his life for his country as a general and as president. He is and was a hero in my book and while he was from the backwoods of Tennessee, he wasn't as refined as the northern elites, but he was dedicated to saving America with his raw talent as a leader and one who loved this nation. Brian Kilmeade is the author so if you see it, read it, its a non stop page turner and I read it in a day.
Well I did harvest some half runner beans, cucumbers and peppers as well as the last of the lettuces. I'll take most of these along with some 'maters and blue berries to Virginia today as we leave the cabin over this holiday week end to visit family in the northern part of the state where I grew up. Not sure how much visiting we will do to the old places of my growing up but we are always thrilled to spent some time in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley with youngest sister Dee and Mike. They have some a beautiful place surrounded by the the blue ridge mountains.
Well it cooled off over night and hopefully will dry up to some extent while we are gone. I will need to make hay in the yards when I get back as I haven't mowed in nearly two weeks as it been just to wet, LATER
