What a Change in the Weather!

Boy the weather certainly has changed over the last couple of days; Last week it was hot and dry with the temperatures in the hundreds and this week it has just barely made it into the seventies and it has been raining off and on.

This morning was very overcast but not really raining, it had done that last night. Yesterday it drizzled off and on most of the day and I did not get much of anything done in the afternoon.

Today after I ate breakfast I took a walk, I had not done that for a while as it had been so hot. Today it was very nice walking weather even though it looked like it could rain any minute; it did not or at least not that I am aware of.

After I got back from my walk I worked out in the gardens pruning the roses and pulling weeds. I checked on the tomatoes but there were not any more ready to pick; yesterday I picked over a dozen some of them I would have left for today but with the threat of more rain I picked them a little early.

Even though some of the tomatoes were not as ripe as I would have liked they still tasted much better than the ones in the stores. That is one of the main reasons that I like to grow tomatoes or any vegetables for that matter there is just something about that fresh out of the garden taste that you can only get right out of the garden.

My carrots are looking good as well and I am going to have to pull one or two of them up one of these days to see how big they are getting. With carrots the baby ones taste so good it is hard to wait until they get full grown.

Any way after I finished in the garden I went into the garage and sorted, rearranged and threw out things for about an hour and a half. I would like to get the garage so that I can do more than get my Jeep into it. I would like to be able to do some woodworking in it and also other things.

When I got back into the house it was 1230 and I was surprised at how late it was. After a while I made myself a Boca burger on toasted wheat bread with an onion slice and some melted cheddar cheese. I also had some multi-grained tortilla chips that are really good.

This afternoon I mostly rested and did some work on my computer. I had kind of thought that we might go grocery shopping today, but Kathleen decided to pick up her sewing machine instead.

Well it is almost 1830 and I think I will check with Kathleen to see what she wants to do for dinner tonight. Last night I thought that using a whole wheat Boboli crust and putting a can of Hormel's no bean chili on top instead of pizza sauce. Then for topping we put olive slices and sun dried tomatoes covered with mozzarella cheese. We did not have any artichoke hearts that I normally like to have on pizza.

We will have to see what we can come up with tonight...always the challenge!
