Finally Friday...

I was up again during the night and so woke up a tad late. I did get to work on time, but the Blog posting was a little later than I'd have liked.

The morning and early afternoon sped by (calling for quotes, getting Purchase Orders entered, dealing with clients and their clients, etc.,) but after 2:00 PM or so, the day started to drag.

But, finally it was 5:00 PM Friday and I was driving home, banging that drum for a change!

I took the first hour off (treating cats, changing clothes, fixing a drink, sorting the mail, etc,). I had noticed the sweet alyssum was drooping when I pulled in, so next was a tour of the yard.

Note: we are supposed to have occasional heavy thunderstorms Saturday evening into Sunday morning. But I no longer trust those forecasts. "We won't be fooled again!"

So, I hooked up my water wand (that bad boy throws an amazing amount of water in the form of rain) and started on the patio gardens. Then I hit the new sown grass and moved up the south side of the garage. Next I did the tree box garden and the mailbox container garden.

Then I did the rosemary on the porch railing, the lilac and the forsythia. Finally, I did the front garden including the sweet alyssum. I freakin' drenched it! I rewound the hose, shut the gate and went back inside. It was after 7:30 PM.

Note: I decided to wait and see about those thunderstorms before watering the raised bed vegetable garden. I am still trying to conserve water (and not paying Detroit through the nose).

I wasn't really "hungry" so I cut up the last four tomatoes into thick slices. Again I hit them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and fresh basil. I took them into the bedroom and watched taped TV until the Friday Night Fights came on.

I watched them until the end and then went to bed.
