Thursday Morning May 8th..19 days to departure

 Well Wednesday was another hot day with temps into the 90's with no rain and the grasses in the front yard are dried up but the front planter is doing well with lots of daily blooms on the hibiscus shrubs as I'm watering it at least twice a week. The garden is just about gone with the exception of the cucumber, collards and kale and of course the marigolds are in their splendor. I'll soon be turning over the ground for the summer as the weeds continue to grow in them.

I started the day with my usual 5'ish rollout to my routines of some quiet moments to honor my lord, Jesus after posting this ramble to lift up several by name for comfort and healing and to give thanks for another day. All on my list are holding with this post. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for a good workout on the pickle ball courts and left whupped with a wet head and shirt after close to two hours. The ride home on the bike only added to the wet shirt as the heat was back after a pleasant morning start. The morning and evenings are quite pleasant but it brutally hot during the mid day and afternoon so I stayed inside until it was time for my last doctor's appointment before leaving for the cabin in about 19 days.

I spent the afternoon finishing up a read and then some internet time before we had a supper of leftover soup for me and Nancy did a baked sweet tater and some beets. It was our 242 meeting at church at 6:30 so she eats lite due to her bathroom issues depending on what she eats, but as for me I eat any and everything and I'm blessed to not be concern with that issue. The worship music was awesome and the message on the Psalms was very enlightening and then we met in a small group for about 15 minutes. We got to know our leaders a little better as we met in the parking lot on the way out and chatted a few. Their daughter and our grand daughter will be at the same college next year and they already know each other so that is a blessing for their friendship away from home. We will be concerned for Ava as she is such a sweet and innocent young girl and knowing this friend will add some relief knowing who her friends are.

Well we got back around 8:30 so I hit the shower and then so Nat Geo on the Roku until lights out at 10, LATER
