What I'm Reading This Week #25
Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun. We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice. You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons. I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons. (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all! I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape. I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in. There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all. Nope. The second it bloomed, it was gone. I haven't seen honeybees at all. I've checked ...
Interesting reading - as always.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be taking down the tree later today. Maybe bowling tomorrow. Otherwise no real plans.
The car mat thing really works. I used it YEARS ago when I was in college. Our hall parking lot was on a huge slope and of course, I was parked down the slope with front tires against the curb/median of the parking lot when an overnight ice and snow storm blasted us. Needless to say, backing up the slope was a fruitless venture and I had just read about using the car mats not long before. I jumped out, put a mat under/behind both back tires, put it in reverse and voila! I was out. I did however have to look for one of the mats that had become a projectile during the adventure! I found it though and was quickly on my way!
