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.

ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I live in Florida, and with all the rain, we now have carpenter ants all over the house and also Palmetto bugs in the garage that will sometimes sneak into the house. And spiders, did I mention spiders? I hate Florida.
