Well Tuesday saw us with some much cooler temps but no rain which was a blessing especially for the gardens which are still drying out from all the gully washers over the weekend which dropped several inches of rain and mostly all at one time on separate occasions. I started the day with my usual well before 6 or really at times a before 5:30 rollout. I sleep rather soundly for about 6 to 7 hours and now that I'm daily eating some dark chocolate I seldom ever get up in the middle of the night to pee. There is something in dark chocolate that has made a difference in those nightly get ups. I did my quiet time to honor my lord JESUS, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding with this post.
I headed out with Rocky to walk around the yards to check on the gardens and to give him his chance for exercise and to head off into the woods to explore. He loves it here and while at times meanders off into the woods which drives Nancy insane as she is afraid for his safety. Its no wonder she has high BP because she constantly worries about the little things. She is still having issues with this health event and constantly worries about why it can't be fixed with a new medication.
I fired up the weed whacker after a breakfast of oatmeal, fruit and nuts and made sure Rocky was kept in the cabin as he doesn't like any kind of noise, especially from a lawn mower, golf cart, air compressor and weed whacker. He did assist me with reseting a post in the back yard around the raspberry patch which meant he was totally in the way and then barked at me when I ran him off. What a nosey dog. Anyhow I worked on the project for an hour or so before calling it quits. I'm still waiting on Jake to retrieve my riding mower and fix it with new belts and then I can mow the yards. Its getting some what high so I may have to hire him to mow it again before long.
The rest of the day was doing piddly garden stuff and trying to stay busy outside as the temps were in the 60's and low 70's for most of the day. The run off water from the top of the mountain is still running in my usually dry gulch in the backwoods yards. Not much else is going on except the Ross Family made it to Tyler's family in western Kansas around 7:30 their time which was 8:30 our time, after another 9 plus hour day on the road. That was over 18 hours of driving from here. We are just glad they got there safety and without any issues, LATER
