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 ...

Happy Black Friday and What I'm Reading This Week

Good day all!

I hope your holiday was wonderful and for those of you braving the throngs...God speed.  I'll sit back and watch the coverage on TV on the parking lots full of land sharks and what fights break out over stuff people don't care about 364 days of the year.  Good times.  :-)

But enough of that, let's get to...

Today my best friend is coming over for afternoon tea.  Me being me, I went overboard.  I'll post pics I'm sure.  She's moving down south so no more meeting halfway for Christmas merriment.  I'm bummed about it but I know she'll come back to visit family so I'll probably still see her once a year like usual.  It'll still be bittersweet.  I'm sure a tear or two will be shed.

Anyone tackling Black Friday crowds?  Plans for the weekend?

  1. I moved 150 miles away from my bestie 17 years ago. It was difficult but I think we are closer now because we appreciate the friendship more. It also could be maturity, not sure.
    Used your turkey recipe yesterday and received many praises! First time I have ever been asked how I prepared the Bird!
    Thank you and happy Friday!

  3. For me, I'm glad the day is behind me now. Very hard, but not unexpected. And it rained nonstop so I couldn't take the pooches out for a drive, which they are NOT happy about. =o) I don't do any shopping in the stores on this day (did it one time at one store and that was enough for me) but I may have to venture out to buy some pumpkin pie. I totally forgot about dessert (he doesn't eat pie) and I was really craving pumpkin pie last night. It's cold, wet, and gloomy out so we'll see how far I venture. LOL

    Enjoy your tea with your best friend! Tears and laughter are good things to share, so create a nice lasting memory to hold on to. She'll definitely come visit on a yearly basis, so imagine all the stories she'll have to share about living down south! I hope it's a wonderful visit for you guys. xoxo
