Saturday Morning July13th

Well I'm starting to finally turn the corner on this malady that  I acquired some how last Sunday or maybe it was during our busy week down in Boone and Blowing Rock when we were among so many folks during our many outings, oh well, I'm not a 100% yet but getting there. Nancy is doing better but along with me its not a 100% either, but we are able to a little more physical work each day. I'm sure we both contracted that virus called covid or the flu. The more I learn about this lab made virus the more I think the globalist tried to off US(A) and they did a fine job with China's help. Another theory of conspiracy.

I started the day on Friday with a 6'ish rollout for a change to much cooler temps and mainly overcast skies for the biggest part of the day, but by late afternoon we saw some sunshine but no rain. I did hand water the gardens before sunset as the sun was very hot and the breeze had the top soil dry plus my tomato's are now tennis ball size and starting to load the plants, as well as bell peppers are setting and what lettuces are left now are ready for harvest. I did my morning routines of some quiet time to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding with this post.

I headed out to check the gardens afterwards and harvested several yellow squash which we gave away to a neighbor as well as made that our supper. Nothing beats fried squash with herbs on top and I had plenty to add to their toppings such as dill, thyme, cilantro, basil and oregano all fresh from the garden and they add such flavor to each piece of squash on top after they cool down. I also harvested more cucumbers and noticed the jalapeno plants are starting to come back after our local deer had eaten them down to a stalk. Its amazing the resilience of these plants; of course I had been giving them a shot of water almost daily unless it rained.

I finished another great read by Jack Olsen titled PREDATOR. A true crime story which eventually sent the bad guys away but in the progress there as some bad light shown upon a local police investigation that ruined a good man. Its a real page turner and whats sad is a bad police officer nearly sent an innocent person to prison for life. This all happened in the state of Washington and a good decent newspaper man saved his life from prison but because of the false charges that prison became his life. Sad ending in many ways but a good read.

We took a golf cart ride to the mailboxes and stopped and visited with many on the way both coming and going. We also blessed the Heglars with some squash and cucumbers before heading back on the hill. I hand watered the gardens until supper then after the clean up settled into watching the Rays beat the Cleveland team 2-0 in a close game. I hit the shower afterwards and then the sack a little before 10, Later
