I woke up at my usual 5:30 AM. I got a cup of coffee and
wrote the rather extensive Blog post. Then I watched the news for a while.
Finally, I went through all the Sunday morning chores, including stripping the
bed. I wasn’t going to wash the bedding, as I had just done it last Wednesday.
But, I managed to spill the last of my second cup in the bed, so…
I shaved and showered and then left for the Home Depot about
10:30 AM. I mostly had a lot of looking around to do, but managed to spend
$160.00, anyway. Almost all of that was for the shed (shelf brackets, primer
paint, rollers, brushes and tubes of paintable silicone caulk and Liquid
Nails).
I got home at noon. I treated the cats and changed clothes.
I remade the bed and started the last load of laundry for this weekend. Then I
headed out to finish planting. It still had not rained, so I hoped (fingers
crossed) that I could cut the back lawn and caulk the shed today.
I bought some more flowers, so I planted them in that yellow
watering can (that had the calla lillies) and that weird rusty pan I found in
the attic.
Then I cut the grass out in the back. It was so long, I had
to cut some of it twice, just to blow away the grass clumps. But, for the first
time since we mulched, I could drive everywhere on the lawn!
I went inside, put my sweet corn in water and took a nap.
When I got up, it was time to grill.
I grilled the sweet corn first, then some brats and finally
a steak. I sautéed a box of sliced button mushrooms in butter. When they were
ready, I took half out and added in a little bottle of wine. When that reduced,
I added a dab of Dijon mustard and some butter. I poured some of that on top
the steak. I ate half of the steak and an ear of sweet corn.
I watched TV for a while, and then switched to reading until
bedtime.
