Summer Holiday Weekend Recap

Hello and happy Monday to you!  Did you melt this weekend?  My Lord it was hot.  And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend?  Dig out a tree obviously.   😑   Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye.  We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.)  Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea.  We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't.  We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots.  We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it.  Neither of us are at our strongest right now so despite knowing we could've continued with chipping away at ...

Last What I'm Reading This Week of the summer

I've got no good segue so let's just get to...

The Most Scenic Drive in All 50 States   (Hop in the car!)

10 Things You Should Never Touch on a Plane  (I never touch any of these until after I've Clorox wiped every one of them.  Except the carry ons, I didn't think of that so Lysol to go in the 1 oz pump spray is now on the list!)

Which San Francisco Neighborhood Are You?  (So glad I got Pac Heights which is the area we stay in when we go!  The Mr got Sunset which makes sense too.)

We're road trippin' this weekend.  I'm hoping perhaps we'll be going to find some leaf color change because it ain't happenin' in my neck of the woods yet and hello, Fall is Wednesday!  In case I haven't said it 20x this week...I'm ready!

What are y'all doing this weekend?
