See if you can find the two fawns.

Ray was running so late yesterday that I drove him to his office. I was planning not to go anywhere, but he didn't have time to park the car and walk. Captain and I did a little gardening. Mostly he watered everything well. Then I went and picked Ray up. I have no energy with this heat and couldn't think of anything to have for lunch, so we stopped and ate at Mirko, which was delicious but pricy and caloric. You can pick the pasta and the sauce and the extras. I had tagliatelle with mushroom cream sauce and shrimp. Yum. Ray had sausage and penne and carbonara sauce (with bacon). We both had small delcious salads. They give you big rolls too. It made me happy for a while. Ray dozed when we got home. Poor boy--he just barely had the notes done for yesterday's class after working most of the weekend. So he was up most of the night and I don't know where he is for today's class. The rest of the week will be the same. And he has to give a quiz in there somewhere. Note to self: never offer a new class during the short summer session.

The only other thing I can think of is that we are now getting three eggs again most days, which is fun. So we had omelets for supper: zucchini and potato-filled omelets, with a little basil and dill--all of which we grew ourselves. (by which I mean my Dad) So, hypothetically speaking, I need either a cow, so I can make my own butter, or some way to make my own oil, like growing olives and pressing them.

I darted out briefly to the garden a couple times, checking on things and thinking and doing a little  weeding or whatever here and there. Only when it was overcast or shady. Late in the day, the trees on the west shade the main garden in front of the house.

TV, reading, slept okay. I wake up a lot, from the heat and Ray and other things (old age?), but I have gotten better at going back to sleep. Nothing on my mind, I guess. When having trouble, I think about the food I am going to cook next.
