I took a vacation day today. Last month, I ordered some plants from the Cambria County Conservation District (or some such organization). Today was pick-up day. So, I decided to take the day off. And, what a day it was. I didn’t quite accomplish everything I wanted to, but I got enough done to make the day worthwhile.
Jake was off, too. We both slept in until 9:30. This is rather unusual for him on a weekday, but I’ll take it. I had planned on getting an earlier start, but sleep is good, too. After we ate breakfast and got ready, we were off to Ebensburg to pick up our plants. I got some Black-Eyed Susans to plant behind the shed and two blueberry bushes. We also had to stop at the recycling center in Ebensburg to drop off a broken tv for their electronics recycling program.
When we got home, it was time for lunch. After we ate, we went outside and planted the flowers. I didn’t plant the blueberry bushes because I can’t decide on where to put them. I really like fruit trees, but blueberries are the only types the fruit Nazi–uh, Brian–will allow. Something about cutting grass around a bunch of rotting apples is his excuse.
By this point, it was time to make supper and go to karate. After karate and supper, I did some household chores and downed two Cuba Libres. Life is good.
