Fingers Crossed Weekend Recap

Good Monday to you fine party people!  I hope you got to enjoy the mid-May weekend.  We kind of did.  What was not in the brochure was a nice power outage Friday at lunchtime just as the Mr was trying to cook his egg in the microwave.  While he hooked up the Bluetti's to the fridge and crockpot (kicking myself for not doing that Thursday), I put his egg on a small cookie sheet and put it over two candles and covered it with another cookie sheet.  It might take 3 hours but if you think with the price eggs that we're losing that thing, nope!  😝 Welp, I was finally able to transplant the wee (and not so wee) seedlings to their permanent homes.  I was basically forced out there due to the power outage Friday but thankfully it wasn't oppressively hot.  I got the clematis' potted up to bigger pots , sweet peas transplanted, my herb pot together and the zinnias and snapdragons in the wall planter.  Thankfully the electricity came back on by 4pm so...

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.
