Well winter is here for us flatland Floridians almost over night as the front brought in wind, some rain over night but cold temps, however we did see some sunshine despite the high clouds. If it stays this cold I'll be thrilled to leave in about 3 weeks or less. Our company arrived around 3:30 or so from Tennessee and it was a cabin full quickly. We did head into Sparta around 5'ish and found out they had cancelled Music on the Main due to the wind and cold temps so we did get a seat in the Muddy Creek Cafe for dinner. We met Steve and Sheri there as well and then we all came back to the cabin for card games.
I had started the day much the usual with my routines, however I slept in until after 7'ish then did my quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as of now. Steve and I took a nice long hike to the top of the mountain and saw a dozen or so wild turkeys along the way. Nancy had prepared a mountain breakfast which held me until supper. I headed outside to piddle around in the garden and flower beds as well as took out the now dead sun flowers. I cut them up into small pieces for composting. I just have 3 other flower beds to take down and winterize with pine needles for composting and to help with the weed control for next year.
Well we taught the game of hand and foot to Patrick and Kathryn and they soon picked up on it and the guys prevailed despite lots of jawing and cutting up. I'm sure we will have several games in the next couple of days. I'm up early because Kathryn had some kind of machine running all night upstairs and it kept me awake. We will have to do something tonight to stop or at least quiet that constant noise coming from above our bedroom, LATER
