I stuck to the plan...

...and, the plan was to do nothing tonight!

Well, let's face it. If you've read even a little of this self-aggrandizing stuff I spew out day after day, you already KNOW I can't do "nothing."

So, when I got home from work, I changed clothes and threw my bedding and the clothes I just removed in the washer and then took care of dinner. Carla and I had agreed earlier that dinner tonight should be no-muss, no-fuss. So, I cut up the remaining Yukon Gold potatoes into nice-sized chunks, threw them into a pot with about 1/2 cup of beef broth, added a smoked sausage, sliced on an angle and topped it with the leftover sauerkraut. I brought that to a boil, then turned it to simmer and went out to finish watering the gardens.

I watered everything in back that wasn't directly in the sun, and then moved to the front. Sometime in there, Jake and Carla arrived home. I told them to eat when they wanted, there would be no big sit-down dinner tonight. They said they weren't hungry yet.

Later, Jake called out, "Your timer just went off." So, I paused long enough to hang up my shirt and pants then went back to watering. I got everything well-drenched by 8:00 PM.

I sat on the patio with them and chatted for a while and grabbed the camera to take a couple of pictures of the phlox (long time readers might remember me taking picture after picture of these last year, lol). They are much better this year but I promise, no more phlox pictures.

Jake asked what I had thought of the pictures he took of the petunias in the hanging baskets. I said, "Huh?" He said he was using one of the macro-lenses on his camera to try and show the dew on the petals and had put them on my desktop. I admitted not even noticing them, and said I would check the out and post them, so I did, along with the phlox pictures.

I made my bed, and then I made myself a plate of food, topping the sausage with spicy brown mustard. I made myself a drink and went in to watch the Friday Night Fights.
