What I'm Reading This Week #16
Good Friday to you! Literally. I can't believe Easter is here. Anyone else having epic wind and rain storms over the past month? I mean good friggin' luck trying to enjoy any time out there and we're not afraid of weather. As I type, there are 40mph gusts. I went out to paint the critter cages on the planters and feel like I have hypothermia at 47 degrees when yesterday's weather forecast said it would be 74 today. Da fuq? Guess who finally took the bedroom Christmas tree down Wednesday? It was neutrally decorated so it was fine but it came on every night and gave a cozy glow. I knew one day I would look at it and know it needed to go to sleep until November 1st. That's the other thing, I will be decorating for everything extra early from now on. August 1st- Fall decor as I will thoroughly be over summer by then and given that's the day Mom passed, I'll need something to lift my spirits. November 1st it'll be ...
I am ready for fall but, like you, I want it to be a seasonal fall for a change. I am ready for cooler nights and warm days with cool breezes and low humidity. That cross-stitch pumpkin (I think that is how to describe it) takes me back too. My Mom would make cross-stitch items all the time. I remember when I was really big into Pac Man she made me a Pac Man cross-stitch key-chain thing. I didn't have any keys at 9 years old but I still thought it was awesome... Hmmm, where is that thing? I have tons of keys now!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so much cooler here this last week, and nights have cooled off nicely for comfortable sleeping. It's supposed to be hotter again next week, but the daytime temperatures don't matter so much to me now since I'll be at work with A/C, as long as it cools down overnight I'm good.
ReplyDeleteI don't do much seasonal decoration. I don't do much decoration at all really and my place is pretty bland. I always see such cute things but can never figure out where they'd look good or where I could store them in the off season.
Everyone of these is darn adorable! I'm sooooooo ready for Fall! August is usually my least favorite month for the summer (probably because school always started at the end of the month) so I'm thrilled to see the calendar turn over to September. Today is a gorgeous day out with the humidity gone, but I'd be happy for it to be a good 10 degrees cooler (selfish of me, I know). I've noticed a few leaves already starting to turn and I have a feeling with all the rain we've gotten that the fall colors are going to be superb this year. At least I hope so!
ReplyDeleteSo ready to decorate . I love cute scarr crows and straw people.
ReplyDeleteYep, in fact I was so ready, I went ahead and decorated today. We're having the family out tonight for hub's late birthday dinner, and tomorrow IS Sept. 1. I figured close enough. LOVE FALL!
