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...
Definitely glad the weekend is here. It has been a long week. Those are some good links as usual. I can't wait to see the ATM security one because I do some things already and I want to see if I'm right.
ReplyDeleteYou've had a long, gross week. We should do something fun to flush this week down the twa-let.
DeleteThis weekend will be the usual - grading and cleaning. Blech.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Take an hour or two to do something fun!
DeleteDriving back home from grandma's house on Sunday. It will be a 13 hour drive, but the time with her is always worth it.
ReplyDeleteLong drive but you're right, worth it.
DeleteRecovering from the gazillion tornadoes that ripped through here. What a night!! 100 year old trees lifted straight up out of the ground, roots and all. A restaurant got obliterated, but the people got to the basement and only had minor injuries. The sheriff lost his house, too. The Red Cross is out in the towns that got hit the worst and they are checking credentials and won't let anyone through who doesn't live there. At one point there were 4 funnel clouds in the sky dancing together as they touched down. It was freaky! One of my dogs is just a wreck with rain and wind, so he's been a mess for two days. We had a thunder-boomer so loud that it shook all the houses on our block so hard that everyone's car alarms went off in the garages. What a night. Aside from a dentist appt tomorrow and planning my food for next week, I'm not doing squat!
ReplyDeleteI wondered if that was near you or not. I'm glad you're okay and have said prayers for those affected. That had to be so scary! Relax this weekend and give that pup a relaxing massage to calm his nerves! ;-)
Deletedalbador1 we must live close to each other...
DeleteI can't believe the devastation that went through this area last night. So sad. :(
We were running errands when the EAS went off. We pulled into Lowe's and got out of the car to see the funnel off in the distance. We had to stay in the break room of Lowe's to wait it out. Our daughter was in the basement of a Starbucks. When the thunder boomed so loud that it shook that huge building that Lowe's is...it made us realize just how small we truly are on this big planet. Scary night. I'm glad to hear you are okay dalbador1. My prayers are with all those who lost so much.
Not doing much this weekend. That was enough excitement for a few days.
