A little redemption....

 7:58 am - Monday - September 29th - LPGRVR - 58° F, humidity 60%, wind 7 mph out of the south by southeast.....heavy cloud cover today with a forecast high of 65° F.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I were having lunch at O'Brien's Pub in Newport, Rhode Island.....



....visiting Rhode Island, and especially Newport was one of my 'bucket list' items for our nomadic travels.

After two days of terrible play the U.S. Ryder Cup team set the course on fire winning 7 of the 12 matches, and tying three others to finish at 13 points (we began the day with just 4.5 points).  Unfortunately, the Europeans only needed 2.5 points to retain the title, and the 'cup', however, they were unable to close the deal until there were just 3 matches still underway.  At least it was worth watching unlike the first two days, and the U.S. teams managed to somewhat redeem themselves.  On another sports front my L.A. Dodgers won 9 of their last 10 games to win their division for like the 12th time in the last 13 years, or something like that.  They are the defending World Series Champions.  The Sunday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys, and the Green Bay Packers was a high scoring affair with the game going to overtime tied at 37-37, and finishing in a 40-40 tie.....the second highest scoring tie game in the history of the NFL.  The number one high scoring game ever was back in the 60's ending in a 43-43 tie....I don't know who the two teams were, however.

Late morning TLE cleared one of our flower beds of the remaining wild flowers to prepare it for planting daffodil bulbs on Monday, so when we return next April we will already have flowers already in bloom....

Where the daffodil bulbs will be planted

We've still got wild flowers blooming in late September

Two of our four geraniums

Two more habanero peppers are on their way!

......we had much better luck with flowers, and plants this year compared to our previous three summers, and even had one of our pepper plants produce a single Habanero pepper, which TLE used recently, and it appears there are two, or three more growing.  Our potted geraniums flourished this summer, but we'll have to put them, along with the pepper plants in the trailer in the next few days as the overnight lows will be consistently in the low 30's.  As of today (Monday) we have 14 consecutive days with temps in the 60's, including the final  7, or 8 days until we haul anchor.

Thanks for stopping by!
