Well Sunday was another fine day after a some what chilly morning with some fog but by the time we got to church around 9:30 the fog had burned off and the sunshine and blue skies were evident and for most of the rest of the day with a few high clouds. Temps reached the low 70's for a high by late afternoon. Fall is definitely in the air and we are seeing more leaf colors daily. I'm not excited about the early darkness in the evening and how dark it stays in the morning but seasons are what make for a difference unless you live in Florida in the fall and winter. Its hard to believe we have just about 3 weeks or so and we will be back in the sunshine state for the next 7 months or so, oh well. I'm looking forward to getting my garden in there as its just about finished here.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish rollout to my morning routines that start with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name after posting this ramble. All seem to be holding and our 3 year old seemed much the normal at church after a nasty fall from a shopping cart last week. We heard a good message at Cornerstone in Sparta as well as from Cornerstone in Va. on line before heading out. We skipped any lunch out as we had a supper invite to the Luffman farm around 5:30 so we ate lite with just a salad after a stop at the Food Lion and then at our mountain mom's place on the way back to the cabin. We brought her some soup and the last of the green beans from the garden which she loves. I had already snapped and stringed them as well. She is still getting by albeit much slower with her legs and knees in such a bad way, but at 95 years young she is remarkable and still lives alone.
We got back on the mountain around 12:30 and had a salad then I tuned into the NFL and the Ray's game on the laptop. Our friends the Nymark's were at the Panther vs Viking game in Charlotte and saw their team the Vikings come back from 10 points down to beat the Panthers and the Ray's won big in Toronto. The Bucs also beat the Saints in New Orleans and now they are leading their division. The MLB playoffs start on Tuesday in St.Pete, Go Rays. I'll be watching some what as we have company for most of the rest of the days here albeit just for supper some of the time; but card games most every evening.
We had a delicious supper at the Luffman's then checked out their new property/pasture land for their horses just a few minutes from their already farm. It's beautiful, mostly flat land with a small creek running the border. Such magnificent pasture and they keep some of their beautiful magnificent Gypsy Vanner's there. What awesome horses they are and so gentle. They are actually work horses with their strong compact bodies and beautiful manes and feathers, but oh so docile.
We got back to the cabin just as darkness enveloped the area and settled into some reading and watching NFL highlights before a hot shower and eventually some horizontal lab around 10'ish, LATER
