Looks like I'm on my own for lunch again today. Thought about Mexican but not sure if it will be really busy today. The Corner Bar is having a taco and nacho bar for 10 bucks, but I'm not really a fan of tacos or nachos. May go to the Indian buffet.

Hacienda is a little busier than usual

I'm using leftover chicken to make mini calzones for lunch. Chopped up onion and mushrooms to saute for dinner with the steak and to add to the calzones. Kids are coming over around 1 so dad can mow the yard while mom is at work.

Back from the Indian buffet. Tried something new today. I've always seen these round balls floating in some kind of syrup but never knew what they were. They're called gulab jamun. I had to look them up on my phone before I tried them. Turns out they're fried doughballs made from semolina and milk solids seasoned with cardamon, saffron and the syrup is flavored with rose water. They're an Indian dessert. They were actually very good! You'd think they'd be all soggy but they weren't at all. They kind of had the texture of a dense cake donut hole. Very rich though.

Nap time.

Howdy Greg. Up from my nap. Getting ready to pick up the dog poop and then mow.

Hello all!

For the interested, the last two blanks pics have been posted.

Front and side yard done. Taking a smoke break before starting the back.

I would give the grass a flattop, but after getting up at 2:30am and 8 hours, it can wait.

I just mowed Thursday but it already needed it.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

It'll probably be Friday before I can mow again. Supposed to be a rainy week too.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Back to it.

I just mowed Thursday but it already needed it.

Daughter mowed yesterday, son trimmed. I watched, some.
But I have to go around and grade their work, still, as if they were 12.

That's actually turned into a good thing. We get to plan for the next steps in getting our garden beds the way we want during our little tours.

But Daddy praise still urges them along the way, for now.
I'm a fortunate man.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

All done. It was much more pleasant now that I'm no longer having to fend off branches in my face.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Lunch packed, clothes laid out for the morning. Cocktail time! (going to bed earlier than usual )

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Turned on the AC. House was up to 75 and I like it cooler than that for sleeping.
