I Dig Thursday!

It rained overnight (thank you!) and I checked the gauge before I left for work. There was just over an inch of rain in it!!!

It had stopped before I drove in so, other than water on the roads, it was not a problem. I stopped and bought bagels and cream cheese at the Looney Bakery.

I went to the Post Office on Merriman at lunch and mailed a package. Then I went to Home Depot and bought four bags of sand. I got a couple of hot dogs on the way out and ate lunch in the truck.

It got seriously windy and walking outside was difficult.

When I got home, I changed clothes and then went out back. I never used any of my compost pile in the garden this spring, so I had plenty of dirt to dig. I got about half a wheelbarrow full and took it up front.

I filled in the trench left by the 4x4’s and then stomped the dirt down. I topped the tamped down dirt with the sand. Then I stomped the sand.

I ended up with one bag of sand left over. So, I put that, the wheelbarrow and the shovel in the shed and buttoned everything down for the night.

I was on the computer when the cell phone rang. Unfortunately, it was on the charger on the bedroom, so I missed the call. It was my daughter, Melissa, so I called her back and we talked for a long, long time.

When we hung up, I finished cooking that steak in a skillet. I “baked” a sweet potato in the microwave and ate a delicious dinner. I didn’t even try watching TV, just read a book until I dozed off. I woke up around midnight, shut the light off and went to bed for real.
