Well the day started with my usual well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding as of this post. I headed out a little before 8 to the doctor's office to see about why my inner ear area is blocked thinking it was an inner ear infection when really is was a wax blockage. So I didn't need an antibiotic but some ear wax softner and removal. I used it through out the day and it seemed to unblock the ear by bed time. Oh well and I even had him check out the wound on my shoulder and he seemed to think there was no infection just very red and raw.
It was rather chilly to start the day and I wore my coat along with a flannel shirt. It did warm up to the upper 50's by late afternoon when the sun finally showed it face. That immediately warms things with just seeing the sunshine as opposed to dark dreary overcast. They are having a real winter in the mountains and up home with well below freezing temps, snow and ice. We are supposed to get our coldest weather here for this year on Saturday night with 20's inland and 30's along the coast. I have my blankets ready to cover the plants in the garden.
I harvested my first Roma tomato yesterday and will probably pick my first cucumber today as its about 6 inches or so in length. The tomato plants as well as the cucumber plants are loaded with blooms so if they don't freeze we should have a bumper crop this year. Everything else seems to be doing well. I'm still putting out rat poison and it gets gone at night so I haven't killed the family yet but they have left the garden plants alone after eating the leaves of several plants.
We went to our Wednesday night class at SRBC and the attendance has doubled since we first started. We have moved out of the family buildings which now has been taken over by the increasing number of youths and now are meeting in the large auditorium/sanctuary with about 50-60 folks. We then breakup into small groups and we know several from Keswick as well as neighbors Dan and Carol. We love it.
Today we head over to IRCS to watch Keswick girls basketball minus Ava playing. She is doing better and seems to be healing but will not play again this season due to the seriousness of her injuries. She is broken hearted but still attends the practices and the games with the team and sits on the bench with several of the other girls who are injured, oh well, LATER
