Put my three new plant acquisitions in the ground this morning, refilled the bird feeder and then did a little weeding. The soil is very dry even though we had rain showers several times this week. It’s looking as if more rain could be in store for us today. It’s cloudy and there are cool breezes. I opened the house windows and let the wind blow through.

Last night we met some friends for dinner after work and then went to see a show at the Dallas Theatre Center. My expectations were not high, but it had some good moments. We used to have season tickets but gave them up because the plays just did not seem to have much life to them. Fifty years ago they had quite a reputation and enough of a budget to build a theater building by Frank Lloyd Wright on a choice wooded creekside setting. The theater is still nice but a little threadbare.

I’ve got several projects that need to be done around the house this afternoon but I will have to go to the hardware store first. Tomorrow my mother’s side of the family is having a family reunion which will take up most of our day.
