| Cut Up Mango (Tuesday Night's Dessert) |
It rained most of the day on Wednesday. Light drizzle, for the most part, but, I told M to take the day off. I did a couple of loads of laundry, mended another knitted sock, did a little knitting, did a little paperwork, and, in the early evening, walked a little in the driveway.
Brunch was a toasted bagel with scrambled eggs, bacon, and fresh oranges. The cut up mango in the picture was Tuesday night's dessert. For dinner, I baked chicken drumsticks and spicy potato wedges and made a cucumber salad.
We had some heavy rain late at night and the forecast calls for more rain on Thursday and Friday, too.
On Wedesday, I was grateful for:
- More rain for the garden
- Working appliances
- A working heater and a warm and dry house
- Time spent with my daughter
- Electricity and natural gas to run the appliances

Wednesday's joyful activities included walking, picking oranges from the garden, and knitting.
Plans for Thursday must include getting my tax documents together to take to my tax preparer.
How was your Wednesday? What are your plans for Thursday?
Are mangos hard to grow? Have you tried growing them?
ReplyDeleteOne of my neighbors (in a house behind me) has a mango tree, so I know that they will grow in my area. One year, I was able to grow three mango seedlings from the seeds of store bought mangos, but, they all died the following summer when it became too hot. I suppose I would need to buy a nursery grown mango plant if I want to grow mangos. But, I do have the seed from Tuesday's mango in a jar of water, to see if I could get it to germinate. :)
DeleteIf anyone can grow a mango tree from seed, it would be you and M.
DeleteThank you, June. :)
DeleteRain will make the garden grow. Hope there isn't too much of it though!
ReplyDeleteThe rain is good for the garden. Some areas received quite a bit of rain, but, my area received just enough, I think. The garden got a good watering. :)
DeleteThe mango is a nice bright yellow. I imagine it was very good as it looks so juicy!
ReplyDeleteWhenever you mention your spicy potato wedges I think how good they sound.
The mango was very good; the the right ripeness and very tasty.
DeleteHa, ha, I think you like the spicy potato wedges as much as I do! :)
