I had a long day in the yard today. I finally got in rhythm with the shifting breeze, and alternated between the leaf blower and rake effectively. Then I wrapped up what I hope will be the last time I mow the yard for a few months. Since I followed with a fertilizer, maybe I should not store the mower too deeply in the garage.

I have a pork tenderloin and garlic potatoes in the oven. Creamed spinach and my wife's favorite bread will follow. A bottle of 2002 Cain Musque and a DVD should complete a nice evening.

I earned it.
