Well Friday started out with a 5'ish rollout to my usual routines that begin with 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, although Dianne is still in the hospital in Michigan and not doing so well with some very serious infections in her body and mainly in the liver, everyone else seems to be holding.
I headed out on my bike for the Rec for close to two hours of pickle ball play and left with a wet head and shirt and headed home to work in the gardens and yards, mainly hand watering and hoeing some recently transplanted volunteer lettuce seedlings which I'm thrilled are doing so well with this high heat. The tomato's are winding down and the pesky fruit flies are taking their toll on them and the cucumbers of which I'm back to dusting them with Sevin every couple of days.
The new grass sod is finally sending out runners and the area of where the big oak stood will soon be covered by the time we leave in about 30 days. The front planter shrubs are blooming and it looks as if they have taken hold in the area and will soon create a hedge across the front of the house and should give us plenty of beautiful peach colored blooms for years to come. I piddled around outside until lunch then it was read and watch videos on the war and political stuff occurring in the world.
I grilled some deer burgers for our supper and we cleaned up the last of the garden salad. I'm hoping in a week or so to harvest romaine lettuce for the salad bowl, along with kale and cucumbers and some tomato's the flies haven't ruined. Its been a great garden year except for those nematodes and fruit flies. I'm still harvesting collards, kale and carrots and will give away another mess of the greens on Sunday at church.
Well the Lightning lost again at home against the Florida Panthers and its not looking good for them to stay in the playoffs, despite winning big the last couple of weeks. I haven't kept up with the Ray's since they left the Trop. Our oldest grand child Ava Mae turned 18 today and we wondered where did those 18 years go so fast. She graduates in a couple weeks and while she is an athlete we aren't sure if she will play in college next Fall. She and her team play on Monday evening in Tampa against a team that beat them earlier this year in flag football; they will play for the regional championship. Hopefully they will play well and then head off to the state finals, LATER
