Well Monday started out with temps down close the upper 30's and it never got much above the upper 50's as a stiff breeze made it feel even colder. There was plenty of sunshine and blue skies but wasn't the near perfect days of last week. We did receive about a tenth of an inch of rain on Sunday which wasn't much as the wind dried it out during the day. I'm done with the gardens except for one small patch and some jalapeno peppers and herbs in another patch. I raked up several trash cans of pine needles and leaves and covered several patches with them as I get the patches ready for next summers planting.
I had started the day with my 6'ish rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times 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, yet some are more extreme than others with health issues and from accidents while riding a horse or should I say when thrown off a horse, oh well. I headed out after day break and the checking on the world news as well as social media posts to stretch on the back porch and it was cold while doing so. I noticed with all of the high winds on Sunday evening and night many of the trees surrounding the cabin have lost their leaves and many of the leaves covering the yards have now been blown down into the gully below the cabin which is sort of nice. I can now see the sunrise much earlier coming through the leafless trees than before 10 o'clock in the morning.
I piddled around outside after breakfast which held me the rest of the day until supper time which was a salad and some left over shepherds pie Nancy made from venison instead of beef, delicious to say the least. We are having 9 folks here on Friday for supper as I want to clean out the freezers as much as possible in case Caleb brings me some venison to take back with me and I want room in my cooler for that meat which is the best ever. We still have about 11 days of eating down the freezers and cupboards before leaving Sunday a week.
We headed out to Sparta around 6'ish and made a stop at the grocery before heading over to church for our Monday night Bible class. We had 10 men in attendance and the gals were meeting as well for their class. Nancy made a huge batch of ginger snap cookies, so we took shut in neighbor Grant who is recovering from surgery a bunch and then she took the rest to church to share as well and we still have several for ourselves which is just what I'm trying not to eat, oh well. We got home in time to see the Buc's lose to the Lions in a rare poor game performance for our quarterback, oh well, LATER
