Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots. We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it. Neither of us are at our strongest right now so despite knowing we could've continued with chipping away at ...
Another weekend that flew by, but at least all the laundry, grocery shopping, veggie cutting, etc. is done for another period of time. Next weekend is Halloween weekend. Wow, almost November!
ReplyDeleteI hope the cabin was in better shape than the house. That's actually kind of cool, gives personality to the property - but yeah, I'd be a little 80s movie slasher creeped out too.
ReplyDeleteCute puppy though.
My folks were down for the weekend and we all went to the pumpkin patch at corn maze.
OMG I'm with you - if I had known about that house and graveyard, I never would have rented. I don't know how you slept at night! Every single slasher movie is running through my mind. And did it rain while you were there? Double no-no. It was a cool and rainy weekend here in Boston, with yesterday being the nicer of the two days. Very fall-like, which I love!
ReplyDeleteThat puppy is so stinking cute!! And the Christmas bags...the plaid always makes me smile. I still have to upload my random pics, which are pics of furniture and different rooms at mom's house. LOL Lugged a huge @ss mirror up the stairs from the basement today. I'm hoping the gal at the vintage place will want it because it weighs a ton and I have no need for it.
