After a busy outside Sunday I had a quieter inside Monday. There was laundry and kitchen cleanup duty and time for finishing this book. The plan is to head outside again today. It's another nice, mild day ahead.
I smoked a brisket on the gas grill this past weekend and used the remainder in a cream sauce for last evenings dinner. Somewhere under that low calorie (!) sauce is pappardelle, aka, egg noodles. You know, fewer of those so more of the other. Hey, it's healthy. There's tomatoes and zucchini. Mark once again told me he won the lottery. Odd he only says this after he has had dinner.
To finish this report, I believe I will spend the afternoon mowing before I delve into cleaning up the gardens. I'm not looking forward to painting the front porch, so of course I will put it off till the end and like so many other years, maybe not get to it. I can be consistent.
One last blast of heat is headed our way, I put off painting trim on the sauna this year also! Consistent!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at my weather app. Wed - Fri will be hot. Blast it!
DeleteI doubt if dinner is the only reason Mark thinks he won the lottery! Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteIt sure isn't because I spent a fortune on horses! There is a joke; How do you make a small fortune in horses? Start with a large one. 😉
DeleteMark is a lucky man.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he thinks that while he's unloading hay and pitching manure!
DeletePriorities, priorities: painting must come last. With luck the opportunity will pass.
ReplyDeleteIt's always passed before, so maybe my luck will hold.
DeleteYou do a lot more work than I do! Painting a porch isn't even on my list.
ReplyDeleteAs I have gathered, I'm also a bit younger than you. If I am in the shape you are at your age I will be doing the happy dance.
DeleteGosh your dinner looks delicious! He did win the lottery! We have finally gotten some rain. A lot of rain. 9/10 on Sunday night, 1 inch yesterday and I think 3/4 inch tonight. Tonight's came with a tornado passing overhead. I did hear it briefly touched down a few miles east of here in a field. I have not heard any reports of damage.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of rain. We got clipped by the outer edge of a tornado several years ago. Scary. It's good you just heard it and also no damage.
DeleteAccording to my phone this was the last cooler day until next Monday. Too hot to paint for a while. ;)
ReplyDeleteNow you made me hungry. That looks so good!
My phone is saying the same. I agree, no painting!
DeleteMe painting a porch floor...mmmm, how can I make a doodle design in the floor and make it look like a maze. Yeah, I've done things like that so it would be less boring. I once painted a 'rug' on a porch floor. At least it stayed in place.
ReplyDeleteDo what you do and enjoy it all.
now that sounds like a good idea, Val!
DeleteYou have turned into the energizer bunny.....
ReplyDeleteYou been before it gets the energizer battery? more accurate!!
DeleteI mowed tonight after work because I don't wanna do it on my two days off. One ofthe houses We looked at yesterday would likely need a rider mower. sadly, it was a hard pass because the house came with a shared driveway and that's not for us.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad, but I understand why.
