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 ...
Nice backyard space! I grilled asparagus for the first time...delish! Every time I had it at a restaurant it was mushy. It was yard cleanup weekend for me. One of my bffs came out for a visit, first time in a year. Her Mom is going through same thing as your gma and lives with her so she's been Mia for about a year. She's also a new gma and I got to see the bebe for the first time! Also went to a friend's house for a barbecue followed by a fun game of dominoes.

Pretty good weekend overall but too short as usual. Glad we got the patio cleaned up. It's always nice to have the option to go out there when the weather is cooperating.
ReplyDeleteI love that figurine. Our first dog's favorite toy was a hedgehog that mom gave him. Any time she's come over he'd dig through his stash of toys and pull out that one. =o)
ReplyDeleteThis weekend was laid back and I was grateful for that. Went to a meeting, took the dogs for some drives, and puttered around the house. That's about it. Oh yeah I was supposed to meet a friend for breakfast and was at the restaurant for 45 minutes and she never showed. I felt bad for taking up the waitress's table so I ordered breakfast and left her a tip that would have covered both of us. My friend apparently had a migraine and emailed me instead of calling me. I didn't think to have to look at my emails at 8am on a Sunday so I didn't get the message until I got home at 10am. Not happy about that. But I enjoyed a nice meal out by myself!
I didn't get a lot done this weekend. I went to my folks' Thursday to pick up my boy and then came home on Saturday with a stop at a birthday party on the way back. Sunday I made it back to the gym (after a too long hiatus, time to get my chit together) and took him to the TMNT movie. Today is a day for yardwork. I'm so not looking forward to it, but it won't do itself.
ReplyDeleteA walk in the park and a cute little reminder to slow down and take are of yourself and then a great brunch. It sounds like a pretty good weekend for you.
