Wednesday morning, I was back at work (sigh). It was
Michelle’s birthday. She’s the one who normally gets birthday cards signed, picks
up donuts or bagels etc. (you know who I mean, every office has one). So, today
she was repaid in kind. Vicky brought in a beautiful tres leche cake and
Mexican bread, Don brought in two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts (of course) and her
husband had one of those edible arrangements delivered.
I went to Costco at lunch to get some coffee and then swung
by Arby’s to get a roast beef sandwich and horse sauce. I ate that at home
after treating the cats. Nothing was new on the shed at noon and Rick wasn’t
around.
It was hot and humid, but there was enough of a breeze to
make it bearable. They predicted a slight chance of rain in the afternoon and,
several time, it looked like it would rain.
But, it hadn’t yet by the time I got home, dragged in the
garbage can and retrieved the bundle of mail (I had put a hold on it for the
past week). So, I quickly changed clothes and cut the front lawn. I tried to
avoid stepping on the top soil in the ruts. I got it done and it looked much
better.
I wish the back yard had dried out like the front, but there was still standing water on some of the filled-in ruts. I don’t dare try taking
the heavy lawn tractor back there.
When I was checking out the back yard, I noticed the shed
had been trimmed out during the afternoon. I also noticed my clematis in back
had bloomed and my peas and beans had sprouted. So, I took some pictures for
you.
Back inside, I made a small salad with some lettuce and
sweet onions. Then I microwaved a Marie C. chicken pot pie.
I has just started watching the hockey game when my daughter
Melissa called. We talked for a while until Chicago scored their first goal. I
was in the living room when I heard that “score” sound, so I walked in the
bedroom to see who had gotten a goal. Melissa heard the hockey game noises on her end
and, since Dave was watching the game too, knew what I was watching, so she let
me go. Thanks, babe!
Well, we lost and are out of the playoffs. But it’s been an
interesting, if shortened, season. I celebrated by going to sleep.
