saturday late afternoon


Kind of overcast and cloudy this morning. Sun came out in the afternoon. For a while. Built a fire this morning, it was chilly. Washed the car after a while. Did laundry, washed dishes. Cassidy and I painted with watercolors for a while in the afternoon. Kept the fire going all day.

Raked the flower bed area by the black gate and the morning glory / moonflower area visible out of the dining room window. Broadcast various seeds and covered them with a bag of the good soil ($20!). Watered those areas. Glad to have that started.

Planted the other planter box compartments yesterday with herb seeds and carrots. Quite a few things are showing signs of life. Some seeds said that they'd take up to 70 days to germinate. Yipes.

All six serrano seeds are up, one habanero and none of the jalapenos are up.

Have "It Came From Beneath The Sea" on. Have water boiling for circle noodles (tortellini). Heating up some garlic bread. Going to steam some asparagus. Yum. Sounds delicious.

Kids go back to school on Monday morning. I've mostly enjoyed the week off. They seem happy to loaf around the house. We only went to play miniature golf. Maybe I can drag them out bowling tomorrow. That might be fun.
