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 ...

Ant life grand?

Don't really have much to report other than we're dealing with a minor ant infestation...

More crap after that so yeah...it was a great Wednesday.

Anyone else got anything poopie to share?

  1. They're so tiny it's hard to imagine you could ever completely keep them out of just about anywhere they want to go. Also, it amazes me how a pantry can get so many tiny crumbs on the shelves. It's not like we prepare food over it or something. It's just the act of grabbing items, getting what you need from it and putting it back that somehow manages to add crumbs over the course of a few years and boy those tiny ants love it!

  3. 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.

  4. My husband has shingles and we have rabbits multiplying in our backyard at an alarming rate. It kind of looks like they've called a town hall meeting as they sit around the trees and then chase each other for the "romance."
