What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
Same boat as you obviously but I am so ready for those more crisp fall mornings and I hope we get a nice long fall for a change.
ReplyDeleteStill in the 80s here, I'm a bit miffed as i already closed the pool. I'm a summer girl and feel like I got jipped this year because it rain the entire month of June and was balls hot July and August was like spring. If I hadn't closed my pool I be happy right now. The only thing I've done is put my Scarecrow on my front door. I have been able to have a few bonfires on a few cooler evenings. Have a great day! I've always wondered what state you live in?
ReplyDeletelol Dawn - balls hot. That pretty much sums up the temps here where I am too. I'm looking forward to a "cold front" of mid 80s for this weekend, other than that we've still been in the mid-upper 90s.
ReplyDeleteI don't do much with seasonal decorations because I don't have the knack for it, and I hate the put it all away part. I have a Halloween welcome mat, and a fall/harvest themed door hanger and that's about it. I'll probably put those out this weekend. I love when I go places that all are decorated for fall, but I just don't have that gene.
I am not happy with the humidity this week. Unacceptable! LOL I have mini hot flashes as it is, so this week does not bode well for me. It's supposed to be 73 or 75 on Monday I think I saw, but we'll see if that actually comes to fruition. I have no decorating done other than I have mum planters on my front porch that I really like. The containers are very fall-ish, so now we just need the blooms to open (and not burn to a crisp).
ReplyDeleteWell, this week as been cool(er) and started feeling like fall. So I got my mums and did a little porch decoration with a small scarecrow. But now it's supposed to jump back up into the 80's this weekend into next week. Ugh. I love fall!!
ReplyDeleteWe are having a break from the heat right now. Only in the mid 80s and overnight temps are low 60s. So, no. No sign of fall. I'm afraid it's going to jump too quick from fall to winter to get anything done but I have a punch list and am ready to decorate as soon as Halloween rolls around.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was 90, today its 75. Fall in the south, it comes and goes.
