We have new gutters up at our house, which will help a lot with rainwater harvesting.

I really miss my garden this year. In two weeks when I’ve mostly moved, I’m going to start putting together one raised bed and getting it planted with hot weather stuff. Since I have a greenhouse, I’ll plan a winter garden. I’m going to need it since budget is tight.

We’re also planning to erect a greenhouse, in order to keep pests like baboons away.

My dad’s doing a lot better, and is fairly self-sufficient at the moment, so I’m back home during the week. I’ll still go up on weekends, but I won’t necessarily be hanging around the house all the time.
The prognosis itself hasn’t changed, though, just the timeline.

I ended up with “horror” for my category in the latest NYCMidnight Flash Fiction challenge, which is waaaaaaaaay outside my comfort zone. I was considering not submitting, but then I remembered I’d written a Hallowe’en story that might work. A little bit of editing and reworking to fit the other two prompts (a debut and a baton) in, and I submitted it just before the deadline.
Honestly, I suspect it’s going to get DQ’d because it’s not “horror” enough, but I’ll still get the feedback on it, which is more important.
One of my pics was selected to be part of the summer cover photo for the central Ohio Hikerbabes page. Neato!

Found some rubber pads in a cupboard.
Snaffled it and put it on my Logitech keyboard instead. Feels much better, as the stock rubber pads just doesn’t do the job properly.

Blood pressure coming down without medication.
And it looks like I’ve started to shed some weight as well.

Good for you!
The Dragonlady broke her favourite mug.
She’s been using this mug for 10 years or more, and it was ugly, chipped, and had stains that would not come out. She cursed and swore when it hit the kitchen floor.
I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. I had originally given it to her as a gift, and had a second one in storage. As she was picking up the pieces of ceramic and sweeping the floor, I was gently washing the new mug and handed it to her when she was done.
I’ve never known her to be without words before. It was worth the setup.

Picking up strawberries for the dessert we’re serving after the wedding later today.
Just driving out to the road-side stand and smiling at two pretty, young women who were having a great time out in the lovely sunny day and just happy as clams to sell me some beautiful berries. I’ve been having a terrific day and it should end pretty well, too.
Just curious: Are you wearing your kilt for the wedding?
Wait, just post some pictures.

My kids are back from their long vacation to the Philippines. I didn’t recognize them at first, they’ve grown up a bit during the past 2.5 months. Feels great to have them back, wife and I were getting tired of the childless life already.
