A Bit More

The Incredible Moving Tomato Plant started its life yesterday in a pot at one corner of the deck right by the steps going up. Then, after my conversation with Fred about it not getting enough sunshine, I moved it to the grass on the other side of the deck. More conversation with Fred today about Bryce {landlord} having to move it when he cut grass and the tomato plant actually made it up the stairs and to a spot by the steps. Tomorrow it is scheduled to be moved to another corner of the deck that gets sunlight for a longer period… 

After lunch today, I went into town again and got a hose "gun" that had a "shower" and a "mist" setting. I also got a cushion for the adirondak-type chair that I am going to move up onto the deck because I enjoy sitting in it more than I do the upright chairs. Anyway, I got home and watered all the flowers and the tomato plant AND a good portion of my clothing!

I also saw a friend in town I hadn’t seen for a long time. She was my boss when I first started working at the library part time. We did a bit of catching up but unfortunately, she had a long list and short time so she had to dash off. Still, it was nice to see her.

What I am reading:

• I am almost through with The Know-It-all by A. J. Jacobs. This,  as you may or may not remember, is his account of reading all the way through the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. I am really enjoying this book. It is both clever and funny.
• The other readings I am doing are of samples of books I thought sounded interesting and downloaded to the Kindle. I may or may not buy.
