Well this month is moving right along as we get closer to heading north to the mountains. I'm ready as the heat is once again showing itself, although yesterday was pretty nice especially outside yesterday morning on the pickle ball courts. I got in two solid hours with good play but the sun was quite warm, yet the cool light breeze made for a great time to be outside.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All are holding and we spoke with our "mountain mom" last evening and she is doing as well as can be expected for her age as she ate out at one of the local eateries with family. Great to hear she is getting out and that folks are visiting and giving her some company.
I headed out to hand water the gardens and piddle around hoeing some weeds. The garden is still holding all except for the kale which doesn't like this high heat. The tomato's are forming and I'm hoping they begin to show more colors in the coming days. The green beans are blooming so we should get a mess or two in the coming weeks. The cucumbers are starting to die or at least one of the plants is in one garden but another bunch that I started later is still showing blooms and some little ones. I noticed another couple of egg plants showing purple so we should have a plentiful harvest there in a week or so as well.
After a lunch of a salad Nancy decided to go with Betsy shopping for tile for the bath room remodels we want done while we are gone this summer. I decided to change out the shower seats and one of the spigots in doing so broke, so I had to call Nancy home so I could use the truck and head over to a plumbing supply place in Pinellas Park and purchase a new kits for the shower in our bathroom. I hoping they can be used again when we have that shower remodeled as well. Thankfully the new Gerber kit worked when used in a plumbing setting of 40 years or more when we added that bathroom onto the house.
The rest of the afternoon and evening I spent on the laptop watching the videos on the war in Israel and "living off the grid". This inept potus is pressuring Israel to pause their effort to destroy the barbarians in Hamas which is unbelievable. We can only hope he will NOT be selected again by fraud in November, LATER
