What I'm Reading This Week #27

Happy Friday everyone!   I hope you've got the day off to enjoy.  I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please.  I'm not even asking for much.  Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's.  The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week.  He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up.   I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up.  To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?"  I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post.   Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...

Fun Filled Weekend

Happy Monday all!  Can you believe it's October?

Friday evening, we went apple picking with my friend.


There was a nice breeze and it was 15 degrees cooler than it was the previous Friday when we were originally supposed to go so it worked out for sure.  It was her first time and she seemed to enjoy it.  So now I have a HUGE bag of apples I need to figure out what to do with.  I'm sure I'll think of something.

Saturday we went out to lunch and hit a few antique stores.


I got excited when I saw these...


They reminded me of the spice cabinet I saw in Graceland.  Elvis liked Gladys  (affiliate link) to make it spicy, yo!

There was a farm not too far away and we went to the fields to see what we wanted to stock up on.


We decided on green beans.  It reminded me of when I was a kid and I would help my grandma (paternal side) in the garden.  The Mr had never done that before and after seeing how many beans you could (or couldn't) get off of a single plant exactly why our "harvest" of five beans for our putrid little plants was only slightly below average.  It's nice to know there are still new things we can do together even if it's manual labor.  Our side dishes will taste that much better now that we worked for them.

We also couldn't help but check out the most sincere pumpkin patch...


Sunday we got in our workout early, had brunch and did a small grocery refuel before heading out to our friend's wedding.  It was absolutely gorgeous and they lucked out with amazing weather.  So that was our day from 3:30pm on and then boom...again...weekend over.

I've got some stuff to get wrapped up this week and looking forward to some down time soon because I can't keep up with this break neck pace.

What did you guys get into this weekend?

  2. Not a lot here this weekend. I took my son to the Lego Ninjago movie on Saturday, and then Kingsman 2 last night. That was my big splurge for the weekend. I'll be hitting the pumpkin patch in a few weeks.

  3. So glad you had such an awesome weekend all the way around! And I'm glad your friend had fun with the apple picking and you guys were blessed with such good weather. Makes all the difference!

    I was thrilled with the temps, and although it's going to get hot tomorrow, it's supposed to go right back down by Wednesday, so I'll take it. =o)
