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 ...

Happy Fourth y'all




Happy 4th of July everyone!  I hope you have a rootin' tootin' good day planned like the dudes above.  Seriously, WTH is going on in that greeting!?  'Merica.   Ahh, I love nothing more than when the 4th of July falls mid(ish) week, and people use it as an excuse to set off firecrackers the weekend before, the night before, on the holiday, the day after the holiday and the weekend after.  Can you sense the dripping sarcasm?

Anyhoo, I'm taking today off to enjoy with my honey.  It's been a week, and we need the downtime which hopefully means an early-ish workout and doing whatever the heck we want for the rest of the day.

Are you off today?  Any plans?  Whatcha got grillin'?  (If anything)

  1. Happy 4th of July to you as well!! Enjoy the beautiful day! I am working, the hubs is not. We had a power outage this morning so we were dealing with that. Hopefully that's over now and he can enjoy the day with the pups. No grilling...we haven't actually grilled once this year yet.

    Have a wonderful holiday celebration!

  2. Happy 4th everyone! Guess our plan to chill today was not in the cards but at least we got some serious headway into projects!

  3. Today was not a relaxing day. It's after midnight and I'm taking a break from stuff I'm still trying to get done before we leave for a week tomorrow. Mount Rushmore (and other SD sites) this time. Gotta love a road trip on zero sleep. My own *** fault, but now I'm paying for it. I hope your 4th was uneventful - we konw we are truly middle age when we hope for "boring" holidays.
