Well Friday morning saw me after a week of no play back on the pickle ball courts at Walter Fuller complex in St.Pete. All decent players and mostly seniors with a few exceptions. I met and made some new friends both women and men who I played with and against. I won most of my matches but lost a couple through out the 2 plus hours of play. My friend Terry who is 71 and married to a much much younger beautiful gal will be having twin boys in September, picked me up in his Tesla which is all electric but powerful to say the least and drove me there.
I started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort an healing. All seem to be holding at this time. After getting back right at noon Nancy also got back from her doctors appointment we had some lunch then I headed out to hand water the gardens. I noticed I finally have a celebrity tomato changing colors despite tons of greens ones and a now a couple egg plants are showing some purple as well.
I harvested a mess of greens for next door Bobby who he and his wife love and turn into juice. The kale seems to be on its way out with this heat the past couple of days but the sugar peas are producing like crazy as is the cilantro and dill herbs. The recently transplanted lettuces seedlings are adding leaves and will be ready to harvest next week. This heat will soon slow down most of the garden except for the hot weather plants like beans, peas, tomato's, cucumbers and egg plant which are about to explode with fruit.
We took a trip to Aldi's for some groceries after lunch and then I read the rest of the afternoon as well as caught up on the war in Israel with some videos. We had a delicious pot roast that had been frozen and just needed microwaved along with some leftover taters and fresh carrots for our supper. All so tasty. Well we are loving the new ride in the Lariat thus far and will take it Tampa for our first extended drive this morning to watch the twins play T-Ball at 9 AM so we are up early for the 8 AM departure and then again tonight we lose another hour when we set the clocks forward to DST, oh well. This does mean we are getting closer to departing for the cabin the end of May, LATER
