Well Thursday turned out to be another perfect winter day in Florida with cool temps to start the day and then a warm up into the upper 70's and then a cool down after dark with lots of sunshine during the day. The garden loves this weather as well and we are forecasted for some much needed rain on Sunday which isn't looking good for Gabe's baseball games in St.Pete.
I started the day 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 several up by name for comfort and healing. All are holding as of this post and grand daughter Ava still needs your prayers for total healing with her vision. I headed out on my bike to the Rec a little before 8 for some pickle ball but even now with Tue. and Thur. designated as advanced players only the gym soon filled up with lots of new faces, some not so advanced so 6 of us headed outside to play on that court which turned out to be perfect. A slight breeze kept you cooled down enough to enjoy the warm temps and bright sunshine. I was whupped when we finally called it a day a little after 10. The only down size to being on this court is you have carry all the equipment out and back to set up the court, oh well. The play is constant with just a few players, whereas your sitting and waiting in between games inside.
I got back and finished fixing the cabinet drawer which seemed to be holding after glueing it the night before and then I drilled two small holes and inserted a couple of screws to hold it for sure. Those cabinets have been in the kitchen since 1988 when I added the kitchen on and the glue had dried out. I headed out into the back yard and worked in the gardens, transplanting some more kale as well as a tomato plant that I had started in the side garden from topping another tomato plant. I just stuck it in the ground and it grew, so I moved it into the back yard gardens. I've been cutting off any low limbs and all suckers on the tomato plants and they seem to really like that as well. I have another couple of Roma's ready to harvest and the celebrity tomato plants are now loaded with lots of green fruit. I have lots of lettuce seedlings up that will need transplanting in a couple of days as well into the garden proper. I did transplant some radish seedlings into the garden proper as well.
After supper neighbor Dan picked me up and we headed to the mens class at SRBC for a 6:30 meeting that lasted until 8:15. It had cooled down once again after dark and the sweater felt great on this cool evening. We had 16 or so men in the group and then we broke down into small groups to share with one another some concerns as well. It was going on 9 when we finally got home and I hit the shower and was soon watching some ALONE before lights out at 10, LATER
