Title? What Title?


We got rain! The storm part of it was to the east, but it rained. The downside, why is there always a downside, is 90 F/32 C and smothering humidity. I usually don't remember dreams but I have a vague memory of yard work and satisfaction. Starting tomorrow as we cool down.

Wildflower seeds are showing life, yippee, so I'll place that in the for-now-win column. I plan to paint the veranda (Mark insists it's a veranda) floor tomorrow. I've planned to do this since 2020. Can't jump into these things you know.




I pulled myself out of the cooking rut yesterday and made broccoli chicken with brown rice. It was good. One of the things I miss about St. Paul is the authentic hole-in-the-wall Chinese pick-up restaurant and the upper end authentic Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood. Nothing beats the egg roll.

That dinner looks delicious. It's been super-hot and humid here. I hear talk of a cool front coming Thursday and staying for a few days. I love to hear that.

Your meals always look so appetizing. What makes a veranda? A terrace? A patio? I never really know.

We have the same, Lori. Tomorrow starts a cooler trend at least for a week. Dinner was good.

It was good and simple, Boud. Mark calls it a veranda so he knows what I'm talking about. We have a deck, a screened porch and an open porch. He gets confused!
