A liitle bit of rain and a barbeque


So it turns out i have not cooked meat indoors in six months or so. I been using the barbeque in the back. I put a thermometer in the front, drilled a whole there for it and it is easy to clean up, just turn it on high on both burners and when it gets to be 650degrees F and the metal starts to glow and get soft, then you turn it off and later you just tap the sides and all the black stuff falls off. It makes a bit of smoke but that is for the benefit of the people 17 miles away, they can smell the smoke and go: Hey! Someone's having a barbeque!

Well that means I gotta drag the thing across the rocks on those little bitty wheels to get it away from the hose by the porch so the smoke don't get in your eyes like the song says because. well, that is just because. so the landlady decides there should be a cover for it. a cover on steriods. consult picture. it took longer to cut the tree down where the palm is sitting on the brick than it did for her to interior decorate the cover.

So it was raining just a bit, cloudy and gray, so i jacked the asa/iso on the camera and took a picture. here it is, just for you!!!

There was absolutely nothing there all the way to the fence, like half a hour before I took the picture. It is amazing what a motivated person can do with a home depot card and a shovel in such a short amount of time. Except for the orchid in the middle, that was one of the ones by the door. the barbeque is in the back. It used to be where I was standing with the camera. click on the pic to make it bigger.
footnote: The barbeque did not make it the hole day, it is in the way, it does not fit in with all the plants. So it is by the fence way over on the side in the back where it can be out of the way. I pull a muscle trying to make the apple tree roots go away and now the fern is where the barbeque was and there are more plants there also. But it looks pretty!!
