I don't think I will be mowing today

It was foggy and cloudy when Princess and I got up.
Later we had a nice drizzly rain. Gently falling. You could barely see it.
Now we have quite a bit of rain falling. The tree across the street is vigorously waving its branches. However there is no thunder or lightening.
I am glad I got the main part of the front mowed yesterday, and I put the mower away.
Our plans for today include a quick run to the school where I will work tomorrow, so I know how much travel time to allow and exactly where to park..
Lunch is ready already. Bob had purchased some andouile sausage, wanting to try it, and I had frozen some okra. So the sausage was browned, okra and diced tomatoes were added. We were on the receiving end of quite a few red beans and some rice. So. . . red beans and rice, with cajun seasoning is in the crockpot, ready to have the sausage and okra on the side. I guess I will need to make a salad.
I am going to harvest some basil and other herbs after the rain stops. Cheers to tasty food.
My lawn is going to overtake me if I am not careful.

It was tasty and filling. We decided to start picking up commodoties when they are offered because our incomes are considered low. We qualify. So we got lots of beans and rice, but that is okay, we like them.

I also like and plan to plant herbs in my window. But there is too much sunlight during lunch time.

Some herbs like sun. I usually do not have enough light indoors for them. I guess it all depends on where you live.

And the ants go marching one by one, down, to the earth, to get out, of the rain. . . boom boom boom.

Because the andouile is a slightly spicy sausage, it was rather nice. I served cole slaw (cabbage salad) as a side dish and it was a perfect pairing.
