The roof work is lining up and may happen on Tuesday, but as I look at my bank online the checks he deposited haven't shown up yet.

I mowed in back enough that it looks much better. Sprinklers are put up and the hoses are coiled and out of the way. I started trimming around the driveway but stopped as it was getting dark. The dogs drag toys into the yard and the mower clobbered a hard plastic chew toy of a color that made it invisible on the ground. I've promised the girls to get them another soon.

More tomatoes have been blanched and simmered and will soon become sauce. I typically use only vegetables because I have a couple of vegetarian friends who dine here regularly, but this next small batch will have Italian sausage.
