On Tuesday

 

Orange Tree

This year's oranges are very small and tangy, but, I picked two on Tuesday and daughter enjoyed them.

Tuesday was a good day.  The winds weren't quite as strong as were forecast and we didn't have any strong gusts of wind where I live.  I brought in the emptied trash and recycling bins, added a few more items to the car, started the car and let it run for a bit (don't want to have to evacuate and find that the car engine has run down!), watched a few online videos, had a long chat with aunt C, and read a book I borrowed from the online library.  

Brunch was scrambled eggs (with a little fresh chives from the garden), bacon, and toast.  Orange juice to go with it.  I had planned to have leftover pasta with ham for dinner, but, daughter and I finished the leftover pasta as a late night/early morning snack before we went to bed.  So, I deviated from the meal plan just a bit and had ham steak with vegetables (broccoli, sliced carrots, potatoes, corn on the cob cut into circles).  Fresh oranges for dessert along with some chocolates.

There's some ham and vegetables leftover for daughter's lunch, tomorrow.  Dinner will be turkey keema curry (I kept the ground turkey to thaw in the fridge).

On Tuesday, I am grateful for:

- The winds weren't as strong as forecast
- The firefighters are containing some of the fires
- The weekly trash collections are still taking place
- Fresh oranges from the tree
- We are still safe from the fires

Tuesday's joyful activity was reading a library book.

Plans for Wednesday include tending to the garden with M.
