Light Shower
Surprisingly we had a shower of rain last night after supper.
My plan today was to get a load of laundry going first thing. Yesterday at the grocer’s I brought home a pork steak. That hit the crock pot as laundry was spinning. I have a bottle of bold marinade in the refrigerator that covered the surface of the steak.
I was counting on that shower of rain making the surface of the garden dirt moist enough to pull some unwanted greenery from the area next to the patio porch. When Dennis came out after a nap, he mixed up some weed spray to catch a path of weeds that was running right next to the patio. He also hit the weeds coming up in the cracks of the driveway.
It didn’t take long and both of us were sweating through our clothing. We had not checked any weather info before heading out. At noon the tale was told as we had KEYC news on. Dewpoint and air quality were both pushing the needle of discomfort.
The afternoon was mine for reading, stitching and folding that load of laundry. Dennis has decided to do some mowing, telling me he would take breaks and try and stay out of the areas in the bright sun, aka: direct heat.
I have a bag of the salad kits in the Tupperware lettuce keeper. This bag has two types of lettuce, red and white cabbage, bits of green onions and carrot slivers. In a little bag there were roasted pumpkin seeds. The bag of dressing was a poppy seeds blend. I added some finely diced white onion. Tumbling this mixture together, it should be tasty for supper. If Dennis wants instant mashed potatoes, that would be in the realm of possibilities.
This weekend promises nice weather.
