Weekend, gardening, etc.
May. 18th, 2009 08:45 am- uploaded 4 photos to my Flickr account, two from Donna's birthday on Tuesday.
- We took Donna's Jetta into the mechanic's on Friday, as the check engine light came on AGAIN. This time, the mechanic said it was a "stuck thermometer", so we had to spend to get that fixed. Sigh.
- Had to rush into work on Friday to complete some deadlines I thought had been done. Not great,
threw off the whole day.
- We went to a BBQ place down in La Plata on Friday evening that had gotten big-time good reviews. Meh, food didn't compare to Lefty's, which is almost in walking distance of our house. Interestingly, the BBQ place had three Los Angeles Times newspaper racks (empty, of course) - not something you'd expect to find in southern Maryland.
- Stopped by a nursery on Friday, got a bunch of different vegitable plants - tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers. Planted a bunch of them on Saturday, just in time for the rain on Sunday. I still have some left over, which I may plant in the raised bed by the kitchen and we'll see how they do.
- The apple tree by the kitchen, and the sapling next to it that I planted last month, both have the cedar-rust infection that was a scourge last year, so I'll have to spray them for it over Memorial Day. Fortunately both the mature apple trees have a lot of small fruit on them, so we may actually get something off them this year.
- Went to see "Star Trek" Saturday morning, then ate lunch at Lone Star Steakhouse. Ate breakfast at Mimi's Cafe on Sunday after church.
