Well Saturday was a stay at home kind of day that was another warm one but not as hot as the past couple of days due to rain clouds in the area with thunder at times but no rain, so I'm still hand watering the gardens every morning. I harvested a huge mess of butter crunch lettuces and gave away three grocery bags of it to neighbors. It was basically a work around the cabin kind of day as I did no major projects, just piddly gardening things that found me hoeing and transplanting some wayward flowers into pots in hopes of transplanting them into the circle drive bed.
I had started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to some some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding with this post. I headed out after day break to check on the gardens and flower beds, all seem to be holding as well and no visible deer damage except for one area where I don't have one of those solar deer detractor devices. I'll move one from another area to cover it, if it continues. I now have small squashes, cukes and tomato's showing some fruit as well as jalapeno peppers and of course the leafy greens are exploding as well. We have been here just a little over a month and the gardening are finally showing good results. On my way back from delivering lettuces I stopped at Mike and Linda's place and loaded up the golf cart with sawed up wood for the camp fire which had been blown down from the storms last winter and he has stacked it along the road and wanted to be rid of it.
Nancy was in the kitchen baking and cooking all day long as she was preparing a meal for a church member and his family who is now not doing well with a brain tumor. She made tater salad, peanut butter cookies and a baked ham plus rolls, so they can eat on for days if need me. We will drop it off at church this morning so it can be delivered to him and his family. He is 59 and been suffering from it for the past couple years, but it now has him in a death grip.
Well as the afternoon grew warmer we turned the a/c on, especially after the oven heated up the cabin and so I settled into the Ray's afternoon game and after losing the night before in a game they were at one time up 8-0 and lost 22-8 and now this game they were up 9-0 and ended up winning 11-3 against a tough Oriole team in Baltimore, oh well. The pitching must have been horrible in that last loss.
Today its corporate worship at Cornerstone in Sparta and then before it on line with Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Va. with Gary Hamrick. It will probably be the Pizzeria for lunch afterwards with the Frankis Family and then another stop for items at the Food Lion before heading back to the cabin. Steve and Sheri and two grands arrive on Thursday for a week or so and we will probably eat and play games in the evening hours and celebrate the 4th on Friday night with a cook out and then off to Sparta for the fireworks around 9'ish. I don't have any major project going except to mow before Amy and family arrive next Saturday for about 2 weeks off and on as they will leave Rocky their bull mastiff and visit family in Tennessee for several days. I do need to start putting wire fences around a couple flower beds and garden patches as he has a tendency to run through them, LATER
