Well Tuesday started out on the chilly side but by mid morning I donned shorts and a t shirt and kept them on the rest of the day as we had blue skies and bright sunshine with temps in the low 70's for a high. 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. We got some good news about Grant's health and he is cancer free after losing one kidney to it and now he can eat normally and hopefully put on some weight and get strong again, all others are holding with this post.
I headed out after day break to walk the property and check on the whats left in the gardens and the two zucchini's I had on the vine were eaten over night so I took the vines out and covered that patch with pine needles later in the morning after breakfast. We finished up the sausage patty from the day before along with an egg on a bun for breakfast which held me until 5'ish. Since I'm taking Metamucil once a day my appetite has been curbed some what and I'm getting by on just two meals a day in hopes to lose some belly fat, plus I'm doing more physical work since our company left.
I loaded up the golf cart several times with raked pine needles from the backwoods area under the pine trees and spreaded them over the flower and garden beds and then I took down the pole beans from the other garden and cut up the vines. I did enclose the jalapeno pepper plants in the upper patch with chicken wire as they are still producing and I'm trying to eat one of them a day along with the last of the small tomato's. I did pot up some volunteer tomato seedlings from the compost pile in hopes they will make it back to Florida for my winter garden.
We did take a hike around noon to the top of the mountain which was good for Nancy as she hasn't hiked since Carol gave it up the second day they were here. Carol has some severe jaw issues and must have them both replaced since one is broken and the cost is outrageous, so we donated 2500 bucks to help with the costs and hopefully others will also as she needs close to 80 grand all total and medicare will not help, oh well. Anyhow she hiked twice and then quit and so did Nancy, so yesterday was good for her in hopes she can get back into shape.
We headed out around 6'ish to our couples class after a stop at the library to return several reads and now I'm going to read Bobby's second book which I have put off doing so for years. I'm just not a Lord of Rings type reader which is pure fantasy but he has written 3 books in a world he created that is an allegory on christianity titled EPIC OF HAVEN. That was about it for the day and evening as we saw several deer both going and coming from Sparta, LATER
