There was productivity in the garden today, starting with digging about 10 pounds of potatoes, in addition to five pounds I dug yesterday. I spent .69 cents for the five small seed potatoes that were planted in March, so this was a gardening win. I planted the rest of the squash started from seed and at the neighborhood nursery picked up two eggplant and a sweet banana pepper that are now tucked into the beds. A few of my plants from seed remain in pots until they're larger. I finished by moving sprinklers - always the last thing because I get a drenching in the process. I have two sprinklers in place but think one will take care of the area since it is on a tripod and can go over the top of the heat pump. These will soon be set up on the Orbit battery operated timer on the back yard faucet.

I came in because it looks like rain, but radar shows it forming just to the southwest of here and drifting southwest. Unless it starts backing up I fear no rain on my parched yard tonight. I'll run a sprinkler on the beds I just planted.

A silicone flap for the dog door is on order; they really knock the heck out of them (now that Cookie isn't a puppy and has stopped chewing on them). Too many flies are getting in lately past the crooked sides of the current one.

Garbage pickup tomorrow, and another bouffant pile of dog hair will travel by dustpan to the trashcan. #ExcitingWeekend
