Monday

At lunch on Monday, I stopped and bought this week's veggies and fruit from Westborn, and then bought a 40 pound bag of bird seed from the Feed store.

Monday night was all about restoring the patio area which had been buffeted by Sunday's winds. I got all the furniture back in place, wired the suet cage back up and refilled it and fixed the bird feeder. I put the bird seed in the can and then refilled the bird feeder.

Back inside, I prepared my two side dishes for dinner. I trimmed a container of Brussels sprouts and popped them in salted, boiling water. I trimmed three beautiful yellow squash, sliced them about 1/4 inch thick and then saut�ed them lightly in butter.

For my entr�e, I warmed up two bratwurst (I'd grilled them on Sunday after making the burgers). I plated everything and topped the brats with Dijon mustard and the veggies with salt. Excellent!

I read a book on the couch for a while and then went to bed.
