Well Tuesday was another hot day, especially around mid morning until early afternoon then a nice breeze made it comfortable to be outside. I sweated a bucket starting with pickle ball at 7:30 and then again working in the front yard until noon then it was down time inside in the a/c. I understand an ice storm is heading for the cabin and a little of that cool temps will be heading our way as well. It's really been hot after such a cold couple of weeks for this month in February.
I started the day with a well before 5:30 rollout to my 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. Grand daughter Ava Mae is healing but I don't think she will be well enough to play on Thursday nights game. Oh well.
I headed out around 7:15 for the Rec for close to two hours of pickle ball play with all good players, I'll go again this morning to play with mostly intermediates but mainly for the workout and sweat. I'm having a tough time losing this spare tire because I like to eat and now desserts are calling my name once again.
I came back from the Rec and worked outside in the gardens and front yard finishing up on digging the grass out of the one planter and aligning it with bricks and then another small planter. I spread several wheelbarrow loads of dirt into some low spots in the front yards as well as hauled several loads of mulch covering the planters. Now its off to a nursery for plants such as hibiscus and other large plants that will eventually create a hedge across the front of the house.
Brian Waters came by and he will help me do some 2 man chores like installing a steel door on the side door of the garage as well as a new storm door and then build a column across the front front closing off the iron railing sometime next month. I want to have new gutters installed and then paint the house all before we leave in May, so I'll be busy to say the least.
I'm harvesting tomato's daily now as well as another very nice egg plant for our supper. I need to cut and clean the last of the butter crunch lettuces before it goes to seed and bolts. The heat is really bringing on the 'maters and I also found a couple the gnats have caused to rot. I'm not happy about them so just maybe I'll use a little Sevin dust. That was about it for this day, LATER
