Three and a half pints of Italian style tomato sauce are in the freezer and the house still smells good from all of that cooking.

It got too hot too early to do the yard work, but I'll head out in a few minutes for some of that. Next week is forecast to be cooler and rainy. There's something about washing the car and bringing on rain, (if I worked I'd wash it weekly), but I do need to wash it (especially to wash the windows inside). I also need to take it in to have the oil changed and they will run it through the car wash free, so win/win if I make an appointment this week. Recycling needs to be dropped off recycling at the village bins and then I should vacuum the SUV insides. I'm considering swapping for a truck later this year, but only if this is clean and ready so I can get top dollar. And if I find a used truck with only a few miles so it has a long life. At this point it is a question of if an extended cab truck has enough bed room to make it worth the swap or if I can fit more long stuff in the SUV.

Before heading out to work I have a favorite pair of jeans with a rip under the back pocket that needs mending. I bought them used at a thrift store so I don't know where they were before, but it is unusual that mending under both back pockets has been needed. They're my yard pants, but in case I need to go somewhere during the course of a project, the holes need fixing. I've already had the experience of ripped pants in Home Depot; not something I wish to repeat.
