Wednesday, watering again!

I got home and changed clothes. It's Wednesday, not Friday, but it's the end of my work-work week. I took Thursday and Friday off. Along with the Holiday on Monday, this gives me five days to complete this year's "big" project, tiling the kitchen counter.

I made up my implementation plan, of course, and I have 44 steps to do to achieve my goal. That will be printed off and go up on the fridge.

But tonight, it's been a full week since I watered the back garden, with no rain since. So, after I filled up the bird feeder and the suet cage, I hooked up the rear hose, grabbed the watering wand and headed out back.

I gave each plant four gallons of water and finished up just before 7:30 PM. I took in today's harvest (see Photos) and put them away.

I had planned on making my steak fajitas tonight, but it's late. So, I went with a leftover hamburger and two ears of sweet corn. I kicked the burger up a bit by roasting a poblano pepper on the open fire of the stove. Once it was completely blackened, I put it on a plate and covered it with a bowl to steam a little. Then I slipped off the charred skin and dug out the seeds and stem. I cut the pepper into two-inch squares and topped the burger with one piece. Excellent!

I watched some TV, but turned in early to rest up for this year's Big Adventure!
