What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
Mmm... I could seriously huff lilacs all day. I love love love them! I don't do a lot of ME stuff. I suppose spending time with my nieces really makes me happy so I do that often.
ReplyDeleteFlowers are one thing or maybe a new kitchen gadget that I've been coveting. I'll also get myself a pedicure. Seeing my nice, shinny, well painted toenails will often make me smile and it can last for weeks.
ReplyDeleteWe have a wonderful flower shop down the street that sells $5 bundles of tulips in springtime. I'll buy those just to spiff up the living room and they always make me smile. I'm also known for buying myself a candle every now and then. Lemon Poundcake is my current favorite...and it came with a car air freshener...oh good gravy, did that smell so good!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite "me" thing is a massage. Don't do it often but oh, it is so wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteDaffodils in springtime. I love to buy them in a cheap little bundle and watch them open into a little patch of good smelling sunshine.
ReplyDeletei get myself just because presents from time to time. typically when i am near a mall that has a lush store.
ReplyDeleteto add to your list of favorite flowers, lily of the valley. love them so much!

Did you get a new camera? Your pics are looking extra sharp and beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessy! Yes, I got a Canon 60D which is quite the upgrade from my 20D. (I looked at 70D but couldn't justify the extra cost for basically the same camera as a 60D except metal) I absolutely LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like to get myself a really good smelly candle that I can enjoy while working in my home office or soaking in a bubble bath and when I can I also get myself three pieces of really good chocolate and eat them away from everyone and everything - not because I'm hiding the fact that I'm eating chocolates (GASP!) but because it is MY time and my time alone!
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty purple flowers!
