Back to Work Work...

Well, it was back to work on Tuesday morning. At lunchtime, I stopped at Office Depot for some envelopes and the Home Depot for that last trellis board I needed. It was threatening rain, so I wanted to get my extension cords back inside.

Before I did, though, I got out the drill and installed that last board. I took everything back inside and put away the tools and the extension cords.

My luck held, because it still wasn't raining when I got home from work. So, I just changed my shoes, grabbed a jacket (it was only a high of 68 degrees and a little chilly in the wind) and then cut the front lawn. I let it go too long and should probably have raked it, but I didn't.

Still no rain? I started planting the hanging baskets. Then I did the container that sits on the porch railing, the tree box and the big urn. Looks like I'll need a couple more plants for the urn, BTW.

I checked inside (do I have time to get some compost for the raised bed?) But, it was already 8:20 PM and I was hungry. So, I quit for the night after watering the rest of the unplanted plants. It was getting too dark for photos, tonight.

I sliced the Ciabatta roll in half. I put a big handful of the pulled pork and added more of the vinegar sauce (the saucy-sauce) before heating it up in the microwave. Then I built my sandwich. I buttered each side of the roll with some Bullseye barbecue sauce Carla had sent home with me and piled on the pork. I topped that with some coleslaw. Excellent!

I warmed up the last two ears of roasted corn and had them as my sides. It was a very filling, but soul-satisfying dinner. Then I went into watch some TV before going to bed.

I was awakened by a loud boom of thunder. I looked at the clock and it was just after 2:00 AM. This time I did put on my robe and went outside. I sat on the front porch, watching the storm. It was a very gentle rain and the thunder was of the "rolling, rumbling" kind rather than thunderclaps. After about a half hour, I went back inside and back to bed.
