I am “done” for the day, now, too. I’ve been working outside most of the day, whenever it was that breakfast ended. I came inside for breaks every hour and a half or so, and rehydrated. This has been the workday that I’ve been wanting for weeks. ( NO RAIN, and I’m in a tank top and shorts!)

If I hadn’t been stung last week, I would be a little further ahead in the game. During the week on the non-rainy days, I went to purchase both annuals and perennials. Yesterday it was stormy, so this was my first opportunity to work outside with many hours of daylight at my disposal. I got a lot done, but something tells me I’m only a third to halfway finished.

For dinner, we were initially planning to make wings with celery, corn on the cob, and a family friend’s recipe for hush puppies. It’s not difficult, but you also shouldn’t be exhausted when preparing this fine Southern meal. (The hush puppies are the truly Southern thing about it, and I have finally the technique down. In fact, the hush puppies are probably the best part of the meal. 😎)

So we opted for Jimmy John’s, which just opened up about a mile away from us. If I place the order online, it’s ready by the time we get there. We rarely have sandwiches, but sometimes you just gotta have a sub. Tonight was the night. Yummy!
