This morning I tested a peach coffee cake recipe. I baked it in the roaster oven because the stove oven has been acting up at times. The roaster took a lot longer, but it is out and cooling and smells wonderful. If this test project works well I'll make another and take it to work this week.

I've decided that part of the reason I've been reluctant to take the mower out front to mow parts of the lawn that have grown (it goes mostly dormant in the summer heat) is because some of the shrubs are in the way. So I'll trim some shrubs before I attempt the mow. I'm thinking that next weekend would be good to invite over a few gardening co-workers to dig up some of the things I otherwise need to transplant or pull out. Earlier this year transplanting would be difficult because of the dry heat. I need to get the rear in gear to clear up the house some (at least the public rooms and the hall bathroom).
