Getting it together

Monday was hot and humid here again. In fact, I heard on the morning news this was the hottest July on record, ever! Not since blah, blah, blah, but EVER!

All day at work, I was making mental lists of all the things I was going to do when I got home. While my task list was great, my timing estimates were not.

Before I started on the kitchen, I watered the container gardens. So far, nothing is wilting. I also checked out the veggie garden and found my first ripe tomato. I picked it and ate it warm with some salt. Fantastic! That’s what a tomato should taste like!!

By 8:00 PM, all I had managed to accomplish was to get all the tools (and there were a lot of them) and the sawhorses out into the garage. Then I scrubbed the sink with a Brillo pad to eliminate a month’s worth of misuse and the rust rings from the paint cans I used as weights.

I quit then and warmed up dinner: the last two ears of sweet corn and another stuffed green pepper. The pepper took forever, but it’s a pretty dense chunk of cold meat. I ended up cutting it in half to expedite the process.

They both tasted great and I ate them watching a movie until bedtime.
