Well Tuesday turned out to be another rather warm dry day after a cool start. I wore a flannel shirt on my bike ride to the Red around 8 for close to two hours of pickle ball. I'm starting to regain my stamina on the court as well in the garden and yard work despite to the heat which arrives by mid morning.
I started the day with a well before 6 roll out to my usual morning routines of some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding but we have a friend of a friend whom we have met several times and is in the hospital. Pray for Jim and his wife Sandy. Jim and I are close in ages and he too was once a officer but seemed to suffer some memory loss and of his whereabouts after giving blood yesterday.
I headed out on my bike and got in some good continuous pickle ball play with several good players. An old friend and player returned from Canada and we always had some good times on the court with him. I headed home after a quick stop at the library to drop off a book. I worked outside until lunch time in the gardens transplanting more seedlings, hand watering and pulling some weeds in the front yard which has just about dried up. Even the weeds are coming up nicely from the lack of rain and I pulled a wheel barrow full of them which I will compose in the garden once they completely dry out.
We had a nice salad for lunch with tons of greens, beans, beets and 'maters and croutons. Afterwards it was the heat of the day so I headed in to the computer and watched the Israel news stations to get the real scoop on the war with the barbarian Hamas terrorists. Israel is wiping them out and I hope to every last man who is involved with this faction. I hope we also wipe Iran off the map for supporting these evil folks and the other group in Lebanon as well. I know if Trump would have been our potus this never would have happened. We need real leadership in America or we will be fighting them here on the home front.
Well I tuned into the Lightning game after a supper of baked cod and tater tots which was delicious and the Bolts were up 4-0 in the first period so I watched some "mountain men" show on the Roku until lights out at 10, LATER
