Well Friday started out on the chilly side with temps down into the low 50's and a stiff breeze which made it feel even colder. We did have plenty of sunshine and blue skies but still for Florida it was an extra shirt when outside. I started the day much the usual with a before 6 rollout to my usual routines that begin with some quiet times after posting this ramble to honor 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 to check on the gardens and then to hand water all of the seedlings as well as sowed some radish seeds in the side garden where the carrots seeds never germinated and then to sow a couple hills of half runners as well that never germinated. Most all the seedlings that I put in yesterday seem to be holding as well.
After hand watering both the gardens and planters I headed out to the front yard to pull some weeds and hand water the yard and those areas that were parched because we haven't had any rain in so long. The water just runs off those areas and will not soak into the ground so that means some hand watering daily to get those areas saturated again so the grass will take hold, oh well. Thankfully the shallow well seems to be holding especially for the gardens.
I piddled around until an early lunch which was the supper the night before which held me the rest of the day and evening. It was even more tasty than the night before and we have enough for at least another full meal. We just over cook too much plus we gave a ways several containers plus three huge plates for Betsy to take home, oh well. We will do it all again in about a month when we have everyone here for Christmas dinner but this time with a prime rib roast. I watched a little of the 3 PM NFL game on TV before we headed up to the Botbyl's where we joined up with Steve and Sheri for hand, knee and foot and the gals came from behind in both games to win on the last hand, oh well. Its been a while since they have won and everyone was happy for a change.
It was chilly walk home around 9'ish and I soon hit the shower and was watching some ALONE in the horizontal position until lights out at 10. Today Saturday I'll head to the Rec for some pickle ball and then work in the gardens and yards. Not sure what is planned for the evening but if nothing its college football. LATER
