Thursday's weather was a repeat of Wednesday and Tuesday (which was like
Monday): highs in the low 80’s, low to medium humidity and no rain.
Sidebar: Sounds perfect and it was, unless you have large gardens
and a lawn you don’t want to lose…
I had to run an errand at the Westland Mall, so I stopped to
eat at Los Amigos, a Mexican restaurant Courtney said was good.
NOT!
I got my usual: two beef enchiladas, refried beans and rice. The
rice was good, but the plate was a hot mess. It was sloppy and the beans were
soup.
Note to self: The only two places in this area I have found
worth attention for Mexican food are Old Mexico (on Five-Mile between Middle Belt
and Inkster) and the restaurant/grocery store on Ford Road whose name I forget
that Michelle, Vicky and myself have visited.
Sidebar: This reminds me of my friend, B___, who, whenever
we went to a new restaurant for lunch, always ordered a hamburger. He said
that, if they screwed that up, they couldn’t be trusted with anything else on
the menu. I feel the same way about beef enchiladas, rice and beans.
Back home after work, I treated the cat and changed clothes.
I watched the news for a while and then went out back. I checked the gardens.
The herb bed and the window box were still damp. But the vegetable garden was
dry. So, I hooked up the square head sprinkler and watered it.
I had to laugh. Birds gathered around the spray and flew
though it to rinse off.
I took some pictures of the herb gardens for you.

I went out and turned off the sprinkler. I took some photos and then grabbed a six-inch cucumber and took it inside. I peeled it and ate it warm, with some salt. First harvest from the garden and delicious!

I made some Campbell’s bean and ham soup for dinner.
I watched a coupled of taped shows and then went to bed at
10:00 p.m.
Gardens look great....jealous
