Thursday

Thursday’s weather was more of the same, only warmer (high of 78 degrees here in Redford).

So, walking outside was great!

I had errands to run at lunchtime and didn’t have time to eat at a restaurant. So, I stopped at Arby’s and got a roast beef sandwich (with horsey sauce) curly fries and a coke. I took it back to work and ate at my desk. It was fast food, but delicious,

When I got home, I changed clothes and went out back. I hooked up the square head sprinkler and watered the vegetable garden.

While the water was on, I went up front and weeded another section of the garden, after adding dirt between the flagstones and the original garden. Then I spread two bags of mulch.

A neighbor from down the street (who I don't know) was walking his handicapped daughter in her wheel chair on the street (we don't have sidewalks). He told me my garden was looking good. I told him I'm trying!

Back in the back, I rolled up the hose. Then I pulled up all the dead or dying plants. All that remains is a few small peas (not even flowering), the green beans (somebody’s chewing on them) and the immature radishes. I left them to see if I get anything, but I think I planted them a bit too late.

I harvested the last three cucumbers. The cucumber plant was my biggest producer this year!

I started making my planned dinner (the one I keep putting off) by grating an onion on the box grater. But, my eyes were watering, it was late and I was tired. So, I put the grated onion in a container in the fridge and just ate crackers and cheddar cheese for dinner. Then I went to bed at 9:00 p.m.
