Wednesday Morning

Tuesday was another summer day typical for the mountains with temps in the low to middle 80's and not much humidity with a gentle breeze from the northeast. It was close once again to setting records for this time of the year. Chicago set a nearly 100 year old record with warm temps for this date in time and just a few days ago they had minus temps from the cold. Whats with this weather??

The morning started out much the usual with a cup of hot green tea then a few quiet moments before a lite breakfast then a ride to the rec on the bike. It was in the middle 60's to start the day and the sun was a big ball of orange as I pedalled out. What a beautiful morning with dew on the grass and the birds were singing. I got in a little over 2 hours of pickle ball play and had a wet shirt to show for the effort. Afterwards I headed home to work in the garden. I cut several bunches of romaine lettuce and distributed to my neighbor Bill behind me and to Darlene the neighbor who moved into where the Lundh's lived. They were tickled to get the fresh lettuce and most appreciative.

Amy, Sam and GG were coming for lunch so I cut another bunch of lettuces, kale and beet greens for another salad for us. I cleaned and then used the salad spinner to get the water from the leaves then broke them up for a large salad for us. I picked several more heads and sent them home with GG. The garden is producing faster than we can use it.

After they left to pick up Ava and return GG to her house, we read until it was time to start supper. I grilled bratwursts and cut a couple heads of romaine lettuce and made a Caesar salad for us along with tater tots and sauteed pepper and onions to go with the brats. Yeow, was that ever good eatin'. After the clean up we tuned into Fox News until it was time for the Lightning hockey game with the Florida Panthers around 8 PM. The Bolts put it on the Panthers 5-2 in a great game played in Tampa. Shortly afterwards it was time for the sand man, LATER
