Well Tuesday was a total work day outside with mild temps and a stiff breeze. There was some over head clouds but no rain which made for great painting on the house and some garden work as well. I started the day with my usual well before 5:30 rollout to my usual routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name, all seem to be holding with this post.
I had a breakfast of avocado toast with a garden grown tomato with some olive oil and cracked salt and pepper which held me until lunch and then I finished up the last of the garden grown salad. I'll need to harvest some leafy greens again today for the salad bowl. I did harvest a huge mess of kale for neighbor Carol who came with Dan and the Nymark's for supper and cards. Everyone brought snack foods and then we did a full regiment of hand, knee and foot which we all love to play. The guys won last night for a chance as the gals have been beating us regularly, they are one tough bunch of players. The game takes nearly 3 hours to play.
I painted the front of the house except the area above the garage and then moved to the back of the house out of the direct sunshine and got all of it painted except for the trim on the back door and the window ledges. Today I'll cut in the side of the garage during the morning when the sun is on the opposite side of the house and then move to the far side as the sun moves across to the west. I'll still have a couple days especially if it rains which is called for today before finishing up on the paint job, but still have doors and front lights to replace. I'll get help with the doors as its not a one man job and I'm less of a carpenter when it comes to that job.
Next week Nancy wants to go to a plant nursery for shrubs for the front planter so they can get lots of attention before leaving for the cabin the end of May once our first grand child and grand daughter, Ava Mae graduates from high school on May 23rd. Where did that time go?
After everyone left once the game was over we sat and watched our America First Potus Trump deliver a rousing speech to congress and was so dismayed at the attitudes of the dem's who sat and never clapped for any of his remarks and goals for the nation. Some were even rude and one was ejected from the body for such bad behavior. These folks hate America and this POTUS. Its down right criminal and I think every one of them should be voted out and indicted for treason because of their hatred for the nation. Its like they are the enemy and it showed last evening, these are despicable people, LATER
