Sunday Morning Mar 17th

Well Saturday was a total work day that started after a hearty breakfast of eggs, ham and toast which held me until suppertime, except for a hand full of nuts around mid afternoon. 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 seem to be holding with this post.

I headed out around 8:30 to harvest some leafy greens such as Swiss chard, a couple kales that still looked edible and three kinds of lettuces as well as a couple beet greens, all for the salad bowl. I cleaned them and then spun the water before breaking all up into a huge stainless steel bowl for later use this coming week. I like to harvest before the sun gets to the plants now that the heat is back. After that chore I headed out to weed wack the yards and then fired up the mower. It seems the gas carb on the mower is acting up but I managed to get both front and back mowed. Neighbor Dan who is a mechanic came down after lunch and thought it best to change it out before we leave it for the summer for the grands to mow while we are gone. He mentioned it was a quick fix with a new one, so he ordered what parts I need.

I took the afternoon off and watched some of the college basketball playoffs on TV the rest of the day and  evening and saw some great play. The Florida gators team survived and several of the number one teams were upset, anyhow it fun to watch the March Madness which starts next week to see who is the best college team in their divisions. We just love watching the high school teams play especially our Crusaders at Keswick. Our grand daughter will be a senior next year and hopefully will get some sort of scholarship to play basketball in college.

Well not much else going on as we cleaned up some leftovers for supper and then after the cleanup we retired to our respective TV's until shower time and then lights out for me at 10, LATER
