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...
Yeah that was quite a paddle last night. We really have come a long way this summer in terms of our stamina and it's funny but I honestly don't see other paddlers out anywhere near as long as we are most times. When I wanted a paddleboard I thought it would be a great workout and also a great way to relax but we do very little relaxing and a lot of paddling. I'm cool with that!
ReplyDeleteI will be working today and Saturday, and then Sunday is our last day with our son before he heads to Ft. Benning for Army basic training. So we will be doing whatever feels right at the time and enjoying it. Tuesday we go to Milwaukee to watch him take his oath and say goodbye at the airport. I'm probably going to be a mess of emotions.
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome weekend!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just got done with an 11 hour day and I'm pooped! Plus I'm on-call --booooo.... But only 2 weeks to go! Tomorrow we are taking mom to my uncle's nursing home for his 80th b-day lunch in Naperville. Then she has plans with some friends so she'll head thataway and we'll head on back home to the pups. Then it's just housework and possibly grocery shopping if I'm up to it. But there is so much in the freezer I really need to just starting pulling things out and planning meals around it. My knee has been a mo-fo for me so this humidity is not helping. I'm limp-a-long Cassidy --so naturally the dogs know this and like to body slam me. They are in cahoots I'm sure of it.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I have to get ready to go back to school. That means I have to go shopping and find some slacks that fit. Sigh. I hate shopping, that's why I put it off so long, but at least I'm buying smaller sizes rather than bigger sizes this year.
ReplyDeleteI had hope for the grocery saving article, but then I found out I already do everything suggested there. Too bad, I'd like to save more.
I have popcorn ceilings in some of my room, and I'd love to be rid of them without scraping. The wood plank look is great. I think I just found my first summer project for next summer. Now I just have to remember.
I'm definitely going to be in line for the pumpkin mini wheats.
