Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just after 10:30 p.m. on Sunday night. I thought this would be a nice way to blend two days worth of blogging into one blog.

We have a current temperature of 73º under partly-cloudy skies. We did not get the heavy rains that were forecast for this morning, but we did get enough rain to preclude any need for watering until at least Tuesday. Considering that the forecast high-temperatures for the next few days are in the mid-70º range, I may be able to get more time in between.

We have a current barometric pressure of 29.85" according to the NWS and a separate reading of 29.24" according to my DTWS. In both cases, the pressure is rising, indicating that we are unlikely to see additional precipitation until Wednesday. The sun will rise tomorrow morning @ 6:23 a.m. and set tomorrow night @ 9:18 p.m.

We had a great homemade pizza for dinner on Saturday night that included green peppers, vegan Italian sausage made by yours truly vegan cheese, and store-bought pizza sauce. Mary asked if I liked the store-bought sauce which was good, but I like her sauce better and I told her so.

At any rate, here is a pic that was taken by our Senior Staff Photographer of that pizza.

Looks good, tasted fine, but it would have been better with Mary's sauce.
This morning, Mary viewed a pic of a tofu scramble, so she decided that she would make one for our brunch. It was great with a little green Tabasco™ sauce on top.

Tasted great and it was totally vegan.

Yesterday, I was feeling ambitious and so I peeled, pared, and boiled some red potatoes that we had on hand. This afternoon, we used an old family recipe to make a tasty Italian salad dressing that Mary used to make a potato salad from some of those potatoes that became part of our dinner when paired with two more of my vegan Italian sausages. I liked the potato salad. No pic of that meal. We also gave the fur-children a pawdicure.

Today, we finished watching the TV movie version of  Stephen King's 11/22/63. While there were differences between the movie version and the novel, we liked both. Sadly, there were only eight episodes.

We also watched the next to the last episode of Poldark. We'll likely watch the last episode tomorrow and then continue watching a series we started some time ago entitled The Man in the High Castle, which Adam turned us on to in less restrictive times. It has been several months, so we are starting from the beginning.

I also spent time editing some music and I think I've got it near to where I want it to be. However, I am always tinkering, so there may be more revisions in the future.

Mary is still enjoying the pandemic book I recommended, The End of October, by Lawrence Wright. Mary pointed out that it is hard to read when Giner wants attention.

Mary wanted a lap dog, so here she is.
I am currently reading a novel entitled The Terminal List, by Jack Carr.

Tomorrow, I have an appointment at the podiatrist and that's the extent of my plans. Otherwise, not much is happening. Ciao.
