Well Friday was a fun filled day that saw us with much warmer temps and humidity so the a/c is on probably until we leave for the cabin in May an of course it will stay on all summer while we are gone. Its that time of the year when the leaves have fallen and the fuzzies are in every oak tree and the new leaves will form. I started the day with a 6'ish 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 at this time.
I headed out to the Rec a little before 8 on my bike for some pickle ball but the gym soon filled up with beginners so one of my friends and an advanced player said we should head down to St. Pete to the Walter Fuller Rec center to play and he drove his Tesla and we took along another advanced player with us. Well we joined the Rec there with no fees and then played for the next couple of hours with all good players and left around 10:30 with a worn out body and wet shirt. Wow, what good players and all were seniors both men and women. I managed to win every match with different partners except for the first match but that soon changed after playing for awhile. My game was on and the body held up as well. So much fun playing with good decent players in a gym that has good lighting.
After getting back I piddled around in the garden before lunch hand watering the gardens then had a garden fresh salad which held me until supper time when I grilled lamb chops with fresh rosemary from my garden, delicious to say the least along with fresh broccoli. After the cleanup I settled in to some You Tube videos on the war in Israel and some social media until it was shower time. The high light of the day was playing pickle ball and how well I played despite being so stiff in the lower back to start the day after yesterdays play, oh well. Old age slipped by on the court today and I played like a teenager.
We got a message from our mountain neighbor Gerald that all was well there but a mountain lion was seen on a camera on our road, yikes. Along with bears last summer and now a big cat things could get interesting when hiking this coming summer, oh well. I'm getting antsy about coming up the end of May and so looking forward to it and seeing all of our mountain friends and neighbors and getting the yards and gardens in shape for the summer. The gardens here are producing abundantly except for tomato's ripening. The one Roma plant is now setting fruit again and I ate the last ripe one it produced a week or so ago but now just waiting on the other plants to ripen. I'm afraid all of a sudden I'll have so many ripening at one time, oh well, LATER
