Well Tuesday started out with wet weather once again but by mid morning it had stopped after dropping close to an inch of rain overnight and into the morning. The skies stayed overcast except for a peek of the sun every now and then. We did get in a hike around lunch time and then it was stay in the cabin reading and catching up on some news videos the rest of the day. I did find out the MLB play off games had started and watched the Yankee's get beat by Boston last night. No love for either team as our Rays lost to them this year and were knocked out of the playoffs for the second year in a row, oh well.
I started the day with a 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 but we were saddened to learn a lady we had met a few years back and had actually attended our church here a couple of times, took her life yesterday, so sad and she was a teacher at a local school here. She was just a fine lady with kids and grands but was a divorcee, so maybe that had some bearing on her decision to end her life.
I headed out to check on the gardens and yards and of course the deer are now in them every night, but there isn't much for them to eat unless they change their tastes as thus far they have left the kale and some beans alone that are surrounded by a fence and about 9 feet tall. They have eaten all of the lower leaves but can't reach the upper bunches, oh well. It started to rain lightly once again while I was checking out the gardens so I headed in and had a bite of breakfast that was oatmeal, cinnamon, honey, pecans, a banana and some blueberries all in one bowl, but first I took a dose of metamucil which I think is helping to curb my appetite and maybe lose a pound or two. Nancy thought I looked slimmer the other day but I broke down last night and helped her finish the ice cream be bought when Dee and Mike were here last week, oh well.
We skipped out on our couples class last night as it was just a fellowship and no study, plus Nancy was having acid issues with her tummy so we stayed home and had pasta and shrimp with cooked spinach, delicious and we have enough buttery pasta to add to tonights meal. We did some getting ready for company for 10 days starting on Friday as neighbors and dear friends arrive Friday evening from Florida. Dan and Carol with be here until the 12th then its no one else until next summer. Sheri and Steve arrive also this weekend and will stay at their place just down the hill but will eat evening meals with us and then play cards at night, such a fun time with the 6 of us. After they all leave on the 12th we will have two weeks to winterize the cabin and yards and pack up for the next 7 months, oh well, LATER
