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 ...
You really busted your butt this weekend. I was lucky enough to taste some of the work so I can say it was worth it but I sure hope you can take a rest soon because you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you treated yourself to a movie and hot cocoa after an exhausting weekend. That kind of self care is important.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was quite busy with appointments, errands, and house stuff, but I'm happy to say I accomplished everything I wanted to. Starting laundry on Thursday really made a difference and I was thrilled to have none to do yesterday. Today I have a very busy morning of running more errands before going to my hydro session in the early afternoon. If it's not raining in the afternoon I'll be working in the yard pulling up the remaining weeds and trimming a way-overgrown oak tree in the backyard.
The boy had a boy scout "thing" on Saturday so I dropped him off at 4am (yes, 4 am) and he didn't get back in town until about 10 at night. I worked a couple hours in the concession stand later in the morning and then took a nap and read a book. Yesterday was laundry and house work, and paperwork... ugh. I have a class next Saturday so it'll feel like a no-weekend weekend, but I will feel like I accomplished something and it's a class I'm really looking forward to.
