Not So Windy Wednesday

The past two days it's seemed like we were living in hurricane alley, but today it's just a pleasant Delta breeze. I understand it was windy everywhere in the Bay Area, so it wasn't just the infamous Rio Vista breezes. We've had a few very windy days, but for the most part, the wind hasn't been a problem - actually, it's been a boon as far as keeping the temperature comfortable without air conditioning.


Jim gutsied up and put on the T-Shirt Becky gave him for Father's Day. Here's a picture. We won't be letting him watch Fox News while he wears this. He tried it yesterday and started to twitch something awful. . . just kidding. He loves the shirt.




We got the Meyer Lemon Tree that Terry and Maryann gave Jim planted into a half barrel, put in the vermiculite and gave it a healthy dose of B-1 and water. In about a week we'll give it more B-1 and in another week, some citrus fertilizer. We figured that would be a good container since it's the right size and the orange tree we have in one is doing so well. So far, the little tree looks happy. I want to get a dwarf nectarine tree for another barrel.


Last night Jim made his delicious pasta Toscana and actually used the fresh herbs from our garden. It was delicious and we have at least a couple of dinners stashed in the freezer for those nights neither of us want to cook. It's such a treat to pick herbs that are to be used right away - no waste and we know they haven't been sprayed with anything horrid.

Our jalapeno plant has peppers about 2 inches long now. We'll need to start harvesting them so the plant will keep producing. We still have a supply in the freezer from our crop a couple of years ago and they're still good.

Jim's off at the gym doing his Monday-Wednesday-Friday work out routine. I need to leave the computer and do the same.

Love to all
Corrie and Jim
