Well Wednesday turned out to be another near perfect winter day with a chill in the air to start but beautiful warm temps with lots of bright sunshine and blue skies by the afternoon. I started the day much the usual with a before 5:30 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my lord, JESUS, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing as well as a safe return for my two grand youngen's, Ava and Sam who are on the way home from Europe today. All seem to be doing well.
I headed out to the Rec a little after 7 for close to two hours of pickle ball play and got in some great exercise with many different partners. I met a new player who is an USAF widow who recently moved to the area and invited her to our local church on Sunday, she has good potential on the court. I left and made a stop at the library for a new read of which I haven't been doing much of since all of these remodels on the house and yard. We took off after lunch for Lowes and bought some sod for the back yards and mulch for the front planter. I mowed the yards when I got home from the library and did some garden work up until lunch time.
The lettuces are maturing beautifully and now a few of the volunteer tomato's are starting to produce. The cucumber plants are sending out runners and should soon be showing some blooms as well. The beets are huge and we are going to roast some today for our supper. The green beans are blooming once again and should be setting fruit shortly. The garden is slowing down with the heat but these cool nights have helped keep it going for now which won't last much longer due to the heat which usually dries it up by April, except for the tomato plants.
We worked outside in the back yard planting the sod where the old oak tree used to be which is now long gone. I sure miss the shade and the oak leaves for the garden but there will be plenty in the neighbor hood that I can pick up for the gardens, oh well.
We did a frozen pizza doctored up with black olives for our supper and then we settled into the Fox News until 8'ish and then I hit the shower and some ALONE show on the bedroom TV. It was lights out for me at 10, LATER
