Well Monday was another rather hot day for the mountains with temps into the upper 80's and low 90's, yikes this is almost like Florida with out the high humidity. It did cloud up a couple times but no rain fell which I was hoping for to ease the dryness and cool things down a bit. I did do some porch setting and read for a couple hours and started a new old read from years back titled SON, wow what a read from memoirs from the early 1900's. I read about half of the book yesterday and its a real page turner about a family dynasty in early Texas, Comanche raids, and oil.
I started the day with my usual well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day to lift up several for comfort and healing as well as myself in getting over this malady that has kept me limited the past week or so with congestion and coughing. I'm also using a neti pot which seems to help but the sinus congestion is still there. Everyone else seems to be holding with this post.
I did do some minor gardening early in the morning before breakfast, loosening up some soil, harvesting more cucumbers and hand watering once again. I have lots of large green tomato's on the vine but nothing ripening as of yet. I did harvest my potato's the dad gum deer had eaten off the tops and was surprised to get about 5 pounds from volunteer plants I found in my compost pile from over the winter. The red taters did best and I have enough for a small mess.
The marigold bed out by the red shack is so dry and compacted but there are some blooms nothing like last years bed which was luscious and full and of course the deer eats down the one bed on the other side of the red shack and all of the honey suckle and sun flowers in that area, oh well I hope I'm eating her next year when neighbor Gerald blesses us with some venison. I'm going to enjoy her on the grill. I didn't sound or feel good enough to attend the Bible class last evening but Nancy did attend and it was 9:30 before she got back on the hill. I stayed home and read then hit the shower when she got home and then read until lights out for me around 10:30, LATER
