Thursday

Today was a really beautiful day... sunny and warm... refreshing breeze from the west most of the day. So, what does one do in Antioch on a near perfect day? Well, I'm not sure about other folks, but here's what I did:

sipped coffee and watched Today for a while
ran about 7 miles at Contra Loma Regional Park without overheating
washed clothes
worked in the garden (picked tomatoes and squash, pulled up bean plants, tilled)
mowed and weedate (is that a word?) our tiny lawn
watered the grass and the garden
fixed the sprinklers on the hill
folded clothes
grilled chicken

and zucchini for supper

Virginia and I capped off the evening watching a Harrison Ford movie called Firewall... not great, but not too bad.


Virginia planted a sunflower seed on the front hill a while back. At this point it's about 4 feet tall... she's pretty proud of it and having fun watching it grow.

Well, I'm pretty tired... think it's time for bed. Hope your Thursday was a good one too.

Sounds like you had a great day. Looking forward to seeing you all next week. I have more "what a weird coincidence" stories for you (well, actually just one).

Did you retire when I wasn't looking? Hard to believe anyone who works for a church ever gets that kind of day! Sounds great!

My wife planted three sunflowers in our back yard; two were nice, got up to about three feet. The one that got more morning sun and very little in the afternoon and evening got to be over 10 feet tall, and has had more than six flowers! Pretty cool!

Weedate? What exactly is weedate? Is this like aerating weeds? It sounds like a vertically challenged dinner and movie. It kind of sounds like a Balderdash word.
