Battening Down the Hatches

The weather forecasters are predicting storms tonight, "and some might be severe". So I put the outdoor plants up against the wall of my townhouse as a wind- and rain-break. I also watered them in case this is much ado about nothing, but I don't think so. The wind is howling, and there were some impressive storms on radar. (I just checked the forecast again, and there is an advisory that says that "winds up to 50 MPH are expected". Holy cow.)

I hope that the storms will cool things off. I discovered last night that the A/C isn't working, but I need to clean up downstairs before I call the management company to fix it. The cats are lying in limp puddles. I'm going to change into shorts and a t-shirt as soon as I finish dinner.

Outdoor Plants

Oh, I bought two tomato, basil, rosemary, spearmint, and peppermint plants earlier this week. I've planted the mints, but need to plant the rest of them. My garden is expanding. I'm hoping to plant some seeds this weekend.

Damn, it's hot in here.
