2 Hikes Today, Transplanted some Mustard Greens and Yard Work

Well it was a little warmer today and last night, however the weatherman is calling for some rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. The high for Thursday is only 60. WOW we can hardly wait. After our quiet time and breakfast I caught up on a little yard work. I transplanted 2 dozen mustard green seedlings and hopefully will get a mess before heading back to Florida.

Nancy and I took our first hike of the day just before lunch and had a great cardio workout. We came back to a lunch of left overs and they were just as good as the day we fixed 1/2 runner beans boiled with new spuds. YUMMMM!! After lunch I fixed a new handle for a broken rake, picked 1/2 runner beans and dug up some flowers for Nancy to transplant into different beds. I then dug and hauled 3 loads of top soil for the yard and flower beds. Nancy took the golf cart out to get the mail while I planted wine berry plants and trimmed the dead stalks from the berry bushes.

We fixed some stewed corn (corn cut off the cob), wild rice and ground turkey burgers for dinner. After the clean up we took our 2nd hike of the day and it was our longest. Down to the bottom of the drive then up to the back road and through Roddy's Place out to the view road on top. We came back down through the path through our property out to watch Ray with a bobcat working in the driveway at Gerald's. We peaked in at the floor in the cabin and does it look good and shiny. The new white gutters made the back porch look complete.

Well we decided to take tomorrow off as Nancy has a doctors visit at 9:45 for a cholesterol check; she was put on Lipitor in August. We have to be at Cornerstone to take orders at 3 PM for the Angelfood Ministry until 6 PM. We made arrangements to meet our friends Walt and Theia for lunch at Browns in Sparta as Nancy will have been fasting for her blood tests.

Time to get ready for some Monday Night Football. Later, missing our son, Bobby and daughter, Amy and our 2 sweet and special granddaughters, Ava and Annsley.
