Well Monday started out on the chilly side with very little sunshine as the skies were overcast with a stiff breeze out of the north. What a change from just 2 days ago when the temps were in the 80's. I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out 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 seem to be holding and Ava seems to be getting better although she is still having some double vision issues from her accident on the basketball court. She still attends all of the games with the team but so far hasn't been released to play and this week is the last games of the season except for the final tournament play. I doubt if she will be able to participate which is breaking her heart. The team played Largo High School last night and they won by 20 points as did the the JV girls who won by 30 points. It was a rather cold evening to be out and it was after 9 before we got back to the house and a hot shower.
I headed out around 7:45 for the Rec and got in two hours of pickle ball play with the less than advanced players but there were a couple players who were in our caliber of play and that made it exciting and good for the exercise. There are so many coming now on MWF that we have to take all the players off the court at one time and divide them into winner and loser brackets, but anyhow I love playing the game and do help some of those less experienced with their game. I was whupped by the time I got home after stopping at the library for a couple of new J.A. Jance reads. I worked outside in the gardens transplanting some kale seedlings into the garden and then hoeing and feeding many of the new seedlings as well as hand watering despite it being overcast. There is no rain in the forecast but the stiff breeze really dries out the sandy soil.
I noticed I have another cucumber to harvest and many nubins coming on as well as lots of small green 'maters starting to form. The leafy greens are doing fantastic and I had a large fresh garden salad for lunch which held me the rest of the day except for a small pot pie for supper before we headed out to the ball games around 6. I need to lose these 5 pounds I put on while being down with the shoulder surgery and eating a large salad for lunch will hopefully do that and a small supper. The wound is healing nicely and just some redness which is normal. I spent the afternoon reading and watching some You Tube videos on the war in Israel. This administration had better get tough on Iran who is responsible for killing and injuring many Americans in Iraq as well as slaughter hundreds in Israel.
Well that was about it except we wore coats to the game and its in the high 40's this morning and supposed to stay cool the rest of the week. I really wasn't really for high 80's and humidity so early in the year, LATER
