Temperate Thursday

Today almost felt cool, it only got to about 86 degrees today, I felt like putting on long pants and a sweater! NOT! Anyway it was a much nicer day, and would have felt hot a couple weeks ago, but after a couple 100 degree days it was pleasant.

I did get up around the same time this morning, mainly because I wanted to transplant some foxglove plants and to water the berries and roses. A couple of my tomato plants were looking pretty wilted; I probably should have been watering them every day during this hot weather.

So after finishing the watering I went inside and made myself an omelet with red and yellow peppers, sweet onion and mushrooms. I originally made it to put on dark rye toast, but there was enough to do that and still have a couple of bits on the side.

After finishing breakfast, I loaded the dishwasher and then went into the living room to read the paper, but even before I finished reading the inserts, the mail came, so I went out and got it. Kathleen got a few things, Andrea even got a couple things, but other than a couple medical insurance statements there was nothing for me that was worth while.

I decided to go back outside as it was a beautiful day and do a little work in the garden, so on my way out I dropped of the recycling. I did my daily rose pruning and weed pulling, but I also sawed off on of the stumps from the Italian prune tree, there are still another four stumps left, but I only had energy to do the one.

After putting everything away, I went inside and cleaned up, just in time to make myself a salad for lunch. Then I went into the living room and after sitting in my chair for a couple minutes I found myself falling asleep. I woke up in time to watch the news and get cleaned up as I was planning on going to a Global Outreach meeting tonight at church.

Kathleen made a salad that she got out of a Rachael Ray cookbook "365: No Repeats", that was really good. It had apples, lemon juice, brown rice, red onion, radishes, yellow & red pepper, and of course lettuce. The salad dressing used Dijon mustard olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, white wine vinegar.

Well, I just did not feel well enough to go to my meeting tonight, part of it was I was tired, I think that might have been from the hot weather the last couple days, but part of it is still the side effects from the radiation. With that said, I think I will just bid my ado’s and say good night.
