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 ...

The weekend is here!  Woo hoo!

I've been perusing a lot of schtuff this week so let's get to...

I think the cold is letting up a bit this weekend so I want to get outta here, yo!  I need a change of scenery instead of seeing the house all the time.  But I hear snow could be making a comeback next week so I'll keep the snowshoes handy!

Any plans for the weekend?

  1. I am okay with more snow if we get at least one more snowshoe / cross country ski outing in before Spring. But the bitter cold has gotten old! Thanks for more great links. I see a few I need to check out right away.

  2. I love, love, love the dollar store! We have one about two minutes from here (next to PetSmart so how perfect is that?) and I get all kinds of stuff from there. Greeting cards (and good ones too!) 2 for $1...you can't beat that! And ours takes coupons, so you can walk out of there with free stuff sometimes.

    As for the weekend, I have to work tomorrow until noon and I'm dreading the drive because we are due to get 6-8 inches of snow overnight so I'll be right in the thick of it and have to drive 10 miles each way. I won't sleep a wink tonight because I'll be stressing about it. Ever since that dang car accident I'm a wreck in the car. Probably need to do some biofeedback therapy! LOL Once I get home I'll see what I want to do indoors. I managed to do the laundry yesterday on my half-day, so I'm thrilled to have that all taken care of. Beyond paying bills, the weekend is wide open. =o)
