Well this month is gone and now just a month away before a new year, wow time just flies by as you age, but I'm blessed so I'll just keep on loving Jesus, family and life itself with pickle ball and gardening which is just what I did Saturday morning and then some football after lunch. I headed out to the Rec after starting the day with 6'ish rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor Jesus, give thanks for another day and then to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding with this post.
I rode my bike to the Rec for some very good play with a few new A players who are still working and don't get to play during the week, of course these are much younger players all very good. I managed to hold my own and won most every match with new partners despite some age differences, after an hour and half and a wet head and shirt, I called it a morning and headed home to work in the gardens and yards. It was a bit chilly to start the morning but by the time I left the Rec going on 10 it has warmed up to near perfect weather.
I hand watered all of the gardens and front planters and then harvest my first mess of both white and red romaine lettuces, kale and a couple collard leaves for the salad bowl. I rinsed and then spun them dry and broke them up for my lunch which was delicious. I'll soon have two more lettuces to add as well as Swiss chard to the mix. I blessed neighbor Dan with several lettuce and Swiss chard seedlings for his garden as I'm running out of room in my three plots. The tomato's are blooming and I still have several seedlings to put in the garden proper as well as more beet seedlings. I'll add their leaves to the salad bowl in a couple weeks as well. Its getting that time of the year when its a salad a day for us which is so healthy, now that I'm growing my own which makes it even healthy as I use no pesticides.
Well the college games were great and I watched them throughout the afternoon while Nancy went shopping and then I hand watered again before dark as the breeze and sun dries out this sandy soil here very quickly. We fixed our own plates from the left over turkey day dinner and its still delicious. I'm skipping church this morning, but I will watch and worship on line as son Bobby has received some extra Buc's tickets so Tyler and Sam will pick me up and we will head to Tampa around 11'ish. We even got a parking pass as well as 40 yard seats 10 rows up from the field, wow that will be a first for me, lets hope both offense and defense show up for the game against the Cardinals from Arizona, LATER
