Thursday's Tale

Thursday was another beautiful day (although still below our normal temperatures for this time of year). When I got home after work and changed, the first thing I did was to water all the container gardens.

Then I gassed up the push mower and checked the oil. I fired it up and cut the front lawn. When I finished, I went inside for a bathroom break and it was 6:20 PM.

Next, I gassed up the riding tractor and checked its oil. I pulled it out of the garage, shut the door and headed out back. When I finished up, I hooked up the watering wand (the front garden looks parched) and started watering.

I watered everything around the patio, the little garden on Jake's patio, the south side of the garage, the tree garden out front and, finally, the front garden.

I coiled up the hose, shut everything up and went inside for the evening. It was 8:25 PM.

I warmed up the last porch chop and two more ears of corn for my dinner. I watched a mixture of real-time and taped shows until bedtime.
