Well Thursday was another non stop busy day that started with a well before 5:30 roll out as my mind just will not let me sleep in with all that has been done and needs to accomplished before Amy and family arrive Sunday evening. I love the physical work of being outside working in the soil especially with these awesome temps that start with the 50's in the mornings. I did my usual morning routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding with this post as is Nancy with her BP issues. We went down off the mountain again during the morning to run some errands, visit Helen and then to see the new doctor who will be taking over her health issues while we are at this location. Nancy was extremely happy with him and his staff.
I did work outside in the gardens patches early before breakfast and planted cucumbers, squash (both yellow and zucchini), jalapeno peppers into the gully garden patch in the back yard. I still have space in that patch plus my two regular patches which now needs to be rotor tilled which I got delivered today. That kept me busy until we headed down off the mountain at 10. We first visited Helen at the senior center and met up with her only child, Rick who we hadn't seen in years. He was up from Florida for a few days looking after Helen's concerns. She is having some foot issues and a health care worker was there attending to her foot and toes.
We left there and headed to Wal-Mart which is just a mile or so away and had a Subway sandwich before shopping to stock up on items for the cabin. Its terrible how the price of things have increased under this present administration and its not going to get any better unless this potus is defeated in November. America is slowly being destroyed by his policies not only internally but on the national scene as well. We went back towards the hospital and the doctors office and she met up with him while I spoke with several Trump supporters in the waiting room. One man had a Never Surrender shirt with the face of Trump on it and that broke the ice and led to long conversations among many of us in the waiting room. Afterwards which by was now going on 3'ish we headed to Lowes which was on our way out of town. We stopped and spent over hundred bucks on potted flowers and some herbs. It had rained briefly and by the time we got back on the mountain the sun was shining brightly. We did get some rain which made for a very nice temperature wise and for the new seedlings.
After a supper of leftovers from the night before we headed out to transplant all of the flowers into the various patches. I found out my riding mower had a problem with going into gear so that could be end of it after buying ad replacing the old battery, oh well. I'm going to see if I can fix it as I think the shifter is problem and not the transmission, I hope.
We we worked outside until 8'ish then headed in for hot showers which relaxed us both as we had planned on a card game but too tired at the time of the evening, so we watched some softball game with Florida State getting whupped by Oklahoma. I soon hit the sack around 9:30, LATER
