They're Here!

The first two items from my Prime Day spending spree have arrived, and those are some raised beds for my garden.  I didn't take a picture, because as of this moment, they're still in the boxes they came in.  I didn't think that would make a very interesting photo...boxes and all.  The last of the raised beds is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I'm hoping that early Saturday morning, I can start putting them together before it gets too hot.  

I really wanted to at least start getting things in order this afternoon, but it's just too hot right now.  I don't handle the heat as well as I did when I was younger.  And since I get up at 2:30 in the blessed ay em, by the time it's cooled off enough to work outside, I'm already in bed.  

I don't plan on planting anything in them this year, so there really isn't any rush, although I may have to stick a tomato plant or two in some of them, since none of the ones I've planted have died.  On the contrary, they're all thriving.  

Once I get the beds all into place, maybe I can finally get that vlog done for you.  But don't hold your breath on that...

In other news, I finished reading Bunker Hill. It kind of took me by surprise, because I didn’t realize how close I was to the end.  The bottom of my kindle kept saying 3 hrs 45 minutes left in book.  Imagine my surprise when the next page said EPILOGUE.  I've read enough of this author's books that I should have remembered he always adds so many extras at the end -- things like paintings of the main characters accompanied by a brief biography, and in this case, paintings of Boston that had been done during that time.  I pretty much skimmed through all of that, since I already know what George Washington and Samuel Adams looked like.  

Now I'm reading A Single Captive Spark, by Emberly Ash. It was another one of those First Reads freebies -- a fantasy, this time.  I'm only one chapter in, so I don't yet know if it's going to be good or not.  I can already tell it's not going to become one of the great classics, but it might end up being an enjoyable read.  I'll be sure to let you know. 

That's about it for today.  This getting up in the middle of the night is taking its toll, but in a way, I kind of like going in early.  There's only three brazers who come in at 4:00, and one of them has been on vacation all this week, so it's only myself and Demi-god.  There's a sense of freedom and relaxation with it only being a few of us.  I hope you know what I mean. 

The downside is having to go to bed in the middle of the afternoon, which it now is, so I'm going.  

Goodnight.
