The high point of the day was going out to dinner at Ivars Salmon House. To celebrate Ivar’s 121st birthday, if he was still with us, they had a menu where you could order an entree at the regular price and the second entree was $1.21.
Very tasty. We walked to dinner in the dry, and home in a light rain.
I’m glad it rained because I had raked and added compost to the parking strip, and was supposed to “water it in.” With our current forecast I shouldn’t need to add water until at least this weekend. That’s when I plan to spread micro-clover and a bit of topsoil. And then we’ll see what happens. I may also put up a wee fence to discourage dogs from using that area while it’s starting to grow.
The parking strip is less than 300 square feet, but it took all I had to do this chore, especially the raking because I was trying to rough up the area. I want to do the same to the rest of the front yard, but it really needs to be mowed first, and there are no dry days until the weekend. Hopefully my strength will have returned by then.

That looks delicious! I’ve rarely been to Ivars although I do like fish. I did lots of yard work too and it wore me out.
