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.

And funny enough, I cannot stand ketchup on meatloaf -- love hamburgers with ketchup, but when I see meatloaf cooked with that strip of ketchup...blech.
ReplyDeleteI like tomatoes, but they have to be really firm, like a day or two before truly ripe. Once they get soft at all they're only good for salsa or sauce.
ReplyDeleteMy motto is "nothing from the sea" (a quote from a tv show that I pretty much live by) but I think a lot of people don't like seafood.
One really weird thing is that I don't like ketchup on hamburgers, but I do like ketchup with fries/tots.
