Belated Weekend Recap
Hola peeps and happy Tuesday. Anyone else get engulfed by the wildfire smoke over the weekend? Three days straight for us with lots of air quality alerts. I hope my Canadian friends are doing okay. It was a bit of a lazy weekend to start until it wasn't. (Thanks to me, I'm sure the Mr is mumbling under his breath.). I have been throwing myself into projects this month to keep myself from spiraling over Mom's birthday this week. Not to mention constantly fighting every aspect of gardening and I swear I typed that sentence before that last time I tried in 2020. I have fungus gnats in the elevated planters because of all of the damn rain we've been getting and the soil can't dry out for them to die off. So I got some mosquito dunks that can be cut into 1/8's and put into a gallon of water overnight and then water the area to kill the larvae then dry the soil to kill the adults. This is apparently common with organic gardening but frustrating...
I dislike the snow and winter in general but I'm always the first to see snow's beauty when it first comes down. Your photos are proof of that!
ReplyDeleteA teeny-tiny bit of snow is forecast here in Northeast Wisconsin for today and then colder temps for the weekend. I plan on continuing on my quest for household organization during the weekend; finding new ways of putting clothes away is at the top of the list!
Um, I'm doing my taxes. Fun stuff. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe got some snow yesterday or the day before (and we're getting more on Saturday (or tonight. On my way home from work, there is this one road that has trees on either side that arch over the road and they were coated in snow and ice, and it just felt...magical.
I'm with you on the snow--I like to have at least SOME during the winter! We have been dry here this winter as well. Your pics are beautiful! We are working our fingers to the bone for our school's benefit auction and dinner--and hopefully having a little fun while we're at it this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe had one good snowstorm right before Christmas, but otherwise we've been pretty dry this year (and last) as well. I really do like snow, and I've been missing it the last couple of years.
ReplyDeleteWeekend plans - nothing fun. Regular weekend chores, taxes, and keeping my 5 year old occupied inside while it's "ice pelleting" outside. Seriously - that's what tomorrow's weather says "ice pellets".
I'm glad it went to our north this time. We've been dry as well, most of January was sunny and in the mid-50's, but over the past two weeks we've had enough to pile shoveled driveway snow up to six feet high in our yard. I want it to melt a little now, because at 5'3", I can't throw it high enough any more to get it out of the driveway.
ReplyDeleteWeekend, not sure. DH is taking the car to his cousin's house for help with a major repair. I may have to join him later today and spend the night, after which all bets are off for what happens for the rest of the weekend. He doesn't seem to get that I work 7 days a week, lol. Isn't online work fun?
So pretty! Our winter has been much the same, very tame. Although today with the 0 windchill it is a reminder that it's still winter in February.
ReplyDeleteCelebrating the twins bday this weekend. Squee :)
Have a good one!
Just beautiful. This is so foreign to me. We had one real snow in my life, a few years ago, and it frightened me far more than any hurricane (well, except Katrina). I can't believe how HEAVY that stuff is. I was scared to death my roof would cave in. We lost more tree limbs and branches in that one 6-8 inches of snow episode than in several hurricanes combined. I can't imagine dealing with it every year. But it IS lovely! Your photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love a blankety snow and the way it outlines the tree branches. Or so I remember. We haven't had more than a few flakes this year. Not that I'm complaining. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have snow this morning in the Northeast as well. Uh, rephrase: we have the barest accumulation so far with countable flakes coming down. Well, maybe not, "There's one, there's another - a little more "intense"."
ReplyDeleteI have to say I have NOT missed the feet upon feet we had last year. I *do* like the freshness and beauty of new snow though.
Love your outdoor thermometer!
We had a little snow like this last night too! I am so glad! I was beginning to worry I wouldn't get to see any snow this winter at all!
