P.S. I’m on my Mandatory Union Lunch Break! I just have the garden area to mow, yet.
Beau is all loaded up and ready to head home, hauling his broken truck behind him; should be here by 6pm-ish.
Zucchini Boats for Supper, a side of Green Beans and Texas Toast.
Heat index has come down to 96° at 5:30. I’ve been out all afternoon working on siting the metal raised beds & finally couldn’t take it any more, came in at 4:30 to put dinner together. I’ll probably go back out after dinner. The ‘shipwreck casserole’ should be ready around 7:30. Meanwhile, I’m about half way through my 2nd quart of LMNT electrolytes.
Before I got too grubby this morning, I had to buy some weed barrier/landscape fabric. Previously, I got a roll at Walmart, but they were out. Since Tractor Supply is on the same side of the highway, I checked there. They had a 4x100 & a 4x200 foot roll - both were $49.95. The 100 ft. roll was ‘professional’ grade, 30 years while the 200 ft. roll was 25 years. It didn’t much matter because I had no intention of spending $50 on landscape fabric!
I crossed the road to the Farm Bureau. They had a 4x100 ft. roll, standard, 15 years, on sale for $24.95 (reduced from $34.95). My lucky day!
I have 1 bundle of shingles left & that should be enough for this project. If I can get the landscape fabric & shingles down tonight, I can finish up the landscape timbers tomorrow. Then it’s DIRT time - woo hoo!
