Well Wednesday was another quite warm day especially after lunch but the morning started out quite pleasant and of course my day started with a before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quite times 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 the Rec on my bike for a workout and did get in a wet shirt and head before leaving around 9:30 and headed home to work in the gardens and yards until lunch time. Most everything is holding and now I have both red and green lettuces ready for harvesting which I will do tomorrow as the kitchen is taken over with the big turkey dinner this evening when both kids and all 7 grands come for supper plus Betsy.
I moved up 18 more lettuce seedlings into 6 packs and will keep them there for a few days until they shown more leaves before setting them out into the garden proper. I did some hoeing and hand watering as well as pulling some weeds out of the front yard. I now have several new tomato seedlings up from some old seeds I had saved years ago and wondered it they would germinate and they did, so I will have more than enough to share with neighbors when they start to produce. The collards are ready for the pot. The kale and Swiss chard will be another week or so before they are ready to harvest and add to the salad bowl. I lost another cucumber hill but still have more than enough if these all make, oh well.
I started a new read about serial killers titled MURDERLAND by Caroline Fraser and she does a magnificent job on several killers in our day and more specifically with Ted Bundy and those events as she probes their minds and bloodlusts. She really delves into their back grounds and even areas where the environment may have been a factor into their rampages, very interesting.
Amy, Eliza and Sam came over after lunch to make cut out cookies with Nancy for an hour or two while I read. I never ate one cookie which I'm proud to say as I'm continuing on my decision to lose a couple pounds. I saw 194 the other day for the first time in months and I'm hopeful for 190 by the end of the year. I do believe taking Metamucil daily has helped some what to curb my craving for sweets and desserts and some what portion control. Today will be difficult with several different pies and of course smashed tatters and gravy as well as stuffing and yams, oh well, LATER
