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 ...
The Thanksgiving food fails had me rolling in the aisle! Too funny. I have lots of food shopping, prep, cleaning and decorating to do this weekend! Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteBusy the next several days. Yesterday helped a friend take a bookcase from mom's so that make a little more room. Today going back to move the China into the new cases I bought. Sunday the resale lady is supposed to come pick up the other stuff early in the morning. Then next week it's meeting my mom's friend for lunch, and the next day going to see my uncle for lunch and to bring him his World Series shirt. =o) That apparently means Monday morning I'll be up with the roosters going to the grocery store to buy my remaining items. This store is insane and I've learned over the years to stay away the entire weekend and any time after 9am next week. So I'm thinking a 6am visit on Monday morning will have to suffice.
It's gorgeous out today, but temps will be dropping later into the 50's and then tomorrow... highs in the 30's with possible snow showers. I do believe this is the last hurrah for warm temps until spring. Sigh... Have a wonderful weekend!
