What I'm Reading This Week #32

Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week?  It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week.  I'll take it though.  We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed.  What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms?  It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms.  I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall.  Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word).  It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off.  I was working besid...

Hump Day Poll: Fall Bucket List



This is about the time the leaves finally change in our area, and the day you notice them is the day a huge windy rain comes in and blows them all off of the trees.  Is it just me or does Fall seem shorter in terms of the amount of color you get?

Anyhoo...we've got one more week in October to fit in those bucket list items before the only leaves left are the ones crunching underfoot and the Christmas music starts blaring.  (Don't shoot the messenger.)

I plan to squeeze in some walks with my honey, maybe a night by a firepit, and I REALLY want a caramel apple this year.  It's probably been over a decade since I've had one and the craving has been strong since summer, so what better time of year to indulge to hold me for the next 10 years?

What's left on your Fall bucket list?

    I'm not able to do some of the things I thought I'd get to this fall, but I'm at peace with it now. The one thing I want to do is go the apple orchard, which I plan on doing Monday. It'll only be 50 degrees, which will be lovely to enjoy a hot chocolate after I do some perusing and shopping. They have an indoor cellar with food and hot chocolate/coffee, but I think I want to sit out on the picnic tables so I can look out at the pumpkin patch and the entire area that's all country. I have my new chiminea that the hubs gave me for our anniversary, but I don't know that I'll set that up outside or not this year because it went from warm to windy and pretty cold very quickly. Still have to think about that. The annoying thing we have right now is when it does get warm and sunny, the wasps are out in full force and my poor girl got stung on the paw over the weekend. Little jerks.
