Well September is all most gone and we will soon be in our last full month here in the mountains. Sure wish the rain would ease up for a couple of days as we are now starting to mold and mildew, but thankfully those named storms are moving away from land and the destruction they brought last year will hopefully be negated by this move. So give me the rain in place of the storms and the havoc they did last year or any year for that fact.
I started the day with my usual 6'ish rollout to my routines that begin with 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 but some in severe need of a miracle for healing. I did go out and stretch on the back porch before walking around the property, checking on the gardens. The deer ate down the parsley after forgoing it for months as they did the Swiss chard. They have eaten off all of the greenery on the tomato plants that are still producing some small 'maters but they will be gone in another couple days as there are no more blooms, oh well. All I have left on the porch are some small tomato's, but since Nancy can't eat them they will last a couple more weeks for salads and with my eggs when I have them for breakfast.
I piddled around outside in the yards and gardens for a couple hours before the fog and heavy mist set in and then the lite rain plus the temps dropped so I had to put on long pants and an extra shirt, wow does the temps change here very quickly and it stayed wet and cool the rest of the day. I headed in to read the afternoon and finished another non fiction WWII event that happened in Belgian with the German's deporting the Jews to the concentration camps. The event was noted because of the resistance by these Belgians and their help for these folks and then a train escape taking over a thousand folks to the ovens. The main folks did escape, some were shot and some totally escaped and lived to tell about and some were recaptured but it sent a message to the Nazi's and the world as they were trying to keep this a secret from the world which they could no longer do. It was a great read but sad one with pics of some involved to share their stories of their escape. What a sad commentary on the German people who allowed this genocide to occur and their hatred by these Nazi's of a race of folks and how they were treated in a modern civilization.
Well we headed out a little before 6 to shop at Food Lion before meeting with our Monday night Bible study groups at church. We had 10 men there and were missing a couple and the gals had as many as well. It rained all evening and then again all night and still rain is dripping off the roof this morning. Its not looking great for any outdoor activities this morning or during the day, LATER
